Gogglebox axes only Scottish cast members after 3 years on TV screens<\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n These new cast members were:\n<\/p>\n
Friends Jake (27) and Calum (31) from Glasgow<\/p>\n
The Gordon family, made up of Andre (49), Sarah (47) and their daughter Chee (25) from Surrey<\/p>\n
Married couple Andrew (62) and Alfie (32) from the Cotswolds<\/p>\n
Mother and daughter-in-law Sara (87) and Lara (58) from Yorkshire<\/p>\n
Sisters Rosie (68) and Susie (70) from Edinburgh<\/p>\n
\n Most established cast members also returned, but one notable exception was Roisin and Joe from Glasgow.\n<\/p>\n
\n Fans of the programme had\u00a0mixed reactions to the new additions, taking to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share their thoughts.\n<\/p>\n
Gogglebox fans slam ‘dreadful’ and ‘irritating’ new families<\/p>\n
\n Plenty of people didn’t hold back in their criticism, as one posted: “Think I’ll give Gogglebox the elbow all the new families are dreadful.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Another shared: “Read the room @Channel4. We don\u2019t like the new families. They\u2019re irritating & too posh who we can\u2019t relate to actually watching tv”.\n<\/p>\n
\n A third commented: “Gogglebox used to be my favourite show. Now, sadly, I think that it’s had it’s day”.\n<\/p>\n
\n Another said: “Don\u2019t think I\u2019ll be tuning in next week, these new people have put me off”.\n<\/p>\n
\n However, not everyone was so harsh, as plenty were also willing to give the new families a chance.\n<\/p>\n
\n One shared: “I’m not sure how I feel about all the new people on #gogglebox. I’ll see if they settle in.”\n<\/p>\n
\n In response, one said: “I get that! Change can be tough, but new faces can bring fresh energy! Lets hope they find their groove soon.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Another posted: “In general love the new couples. Less air-time for the more established couples\/families though.”\n<\/p>\n
\n One wrote: “I will never not be a tiny bit suspicious of any new families, but give it three weeks and I will stan them”.\n<\/p>\n
\n Alongside all of this, some fans called for the return of Roisin and Joe, saying they missed their presence.\n<\/p>\n
\n One said: “Liking the two lads from Glasgow, but still not sure why they got rid of Roisin and Joe.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Another shared: “Justice for Roisin and Joe. Gutted they were axed.”\n<\/p>\n
\n A third posted: “So #Gogglebox has done away with the lovely Scottish couple and I REALLY miss them”.\n<\/p>\n
\n One simply said: “#Gogglebox Bring back Roisin and Joe immediately”.\n<\/p>\n
