A hugely popular Gogglebox couple have been 'axed' from the Channel 4 show.

Roisin Kelly and Joe Kyle had a three-year stint on the sofa, but now the favourites have revealed in an emotional post that they will not be returning.

The couple made Gogglebox history as the first Scottish pair to appear on the show back in February 2022.

Roisin, 26, and Joe, 28, have now revealed that they were "not asked back" by Channel 4 for the next series and have been "dumped" by the show after almost four years.

Taking to TikTok with the sad statement, Roisin wrote: "After three and a half years of sitting on the sofa channel 4 have decided it's time for Joe and I to stretch our legs and have not asked us back for season 26.

"Therefore we are leaving the Gogglebox family. We couldn't be more grateful to Studio Lambert for the opportunity, the experience has actually been so mad and we will miss watching tv with you all on Friday nights!

"It's been an honour to represent Scotland as some of the first Scottish people on the show and prove we don't actually need subtitles."

Roisin went onto thank the show's crew, sharing: "We have made friends for life and after filming every week for years you have become like our family! We could not have asked for better people to work with and we will miss you immensely."

After thanking their fans, she added: "It for sure has been a once in a lifetime opportunity.

"Time to watch tv in silence for a bit and put down the popcorn. Miss you already, Roisin and Joe x x x."
