Gogglebox fans are devastated as a beloved couple announce that they are leaving the show after years.

Joe and Roisin announced on social media that after more than three years on screens, they have not been asked to return to the show.

‘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 ???????????????????????????? ????’

They paid tribute to the crew in the lengthy post and said that some of them had become like members of their family.

‘A special shout out to our crew of past and present, Jason, Ayşe, Rich, Eilish, Ewan, Evie, Steve, David, Stef, AJ and Odin. Also to Harriet for always answering the phone, anytime of the day or night.

‘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. ❤️

‘A huge thank you to everyone who has watched us, met us, and supported us during this experience, 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’

A Channel 4 spokesperson told Metro: ‘We thank Joe and Roisin for their contributions to Gogglebox over the years, and wish them all the best for the future.’
