Channel 4 viewers were complaining minutes into the second episode of Gogglebox’s new series on Friday night.

The 26th series kicked off last Friday night, with five new families expressing their opinions from the comfort of their own home. It comes after Roisin Kelly and Joe Kyle revealed they wouldn’t be returning for the new series.

Newcomers this series include pals Jake (27) and Callum (31) from Glasgow, the Gordon family; Andre (49), Sarah (47) and their daughter Chee (25) from Surrey, married duo Andrew (62) and Alfie (32) from The Cotswolds, Mother and daughter-in-law, Sara (87) and Lara (58) from Yorkshire and Sisters, Rosie (68) and Susie (70) from Edinburgh.

However, some fans still haven’t taken to the new faces on the show, as they took to X, formerly known as Twitter to express their opinions. Many were ‘fuming’ as they claimed that there were too many newbies on the show.

One unimpressed fan penned: “The new people are meh,” while a second agreed: “There’s too many new households. I’m actually relieved when I see the OGs now.”

A third wrote: “Nah these new households aren’t as good,” while another said: “Can’t lie I’m not feeling any of the new cast! Bring back Roisin & Joe! Don’t take the Glaswegians away to replace with new ones.”

“Come on @C4Gogglebox listen to viewers Bring Joe & Roisin back!!” exclaimed another disappointed fan.

However, others are loving the new addition, particularly Rosie and Susie from Edinburgh. “Liking the new Scottish sisters,” said one, while another wrote: “Liking the new Scottish sisters already.”

Taking to social media earlier this summer, Rosin and Joe penned: “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.”

A spokesperson later said that they wish the couple all the best. “We thank Joe and Roisin for their contributions to Gogglebox over the years, and wish them all the best for the future.”

The couple went on to say how they “couldn’t be more grateful” to Studio Lambert for welcoming them onto the show back in 2022.

“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 added before thanking the cast and crew.
