While the show has not announced any new cast members, it is understood David and Shirley from Wales are now the only cast members outside of England.
Gogglebox were scouting for new cast members in Scotland earlier this year.
The couple based in Glasgow were the first Scottish cast members to join the show in six years when they made their debut in February 2022.
Their casting came after a Scottish Affairs Committee session in 2021 criticised Channel 4 for the lack of diversity on the show from across the nations of the UK.
The pair posted on Instagram: "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 added: "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: 'We thank Joe and Roisin for their contributions to Gogglebox over the years, and wish them all the best for the future.'

Vittorio Angelone on Kneecap, the Troubles and the Edinburgh Fringe
The Irish-Italian comedian is no stranger to voicing his own opinion, having made a name for himself online with nearly 500,000 followers across social media. He made his Edinburgh Fringe debut in 2022, where he was nominated for Best Newcomer at the [[Edinburgh]] Comedy Awards. This year, Angelone returns with his brand new show, "you can't Say Nothing any more", which plays on three main themes: The concept of offensive comedy, growing up in the wake of the Troubles, and the responsibility on comedians to be activists. (Image: Rebecca Need-Menear) On the third point, Angelone has been frequently vocal about his support for Palestine, and has frequently defended Irish rap group Kneecap, who are known for their pro-[[Palestine]] views. The trio were recently axed from Glasgow's TRNSMT festival, with organisers citing "police concerns". Reflecting on the decision to remove Kneecap from the line-up, Angelone said: "I think it's pathetic that they thought it's going to cause some kind of riot because Kneecap are performing. READ MORE: I'm performing at the Fringe but fear I won't be allowed to re-enter the US "It's a bit cowardly, especially on a weekend in Glasgow where there's far more hateful events taking place," he adds, referring to the more than 50 Orange Walks which took place in the city ahead of the festival. He continued: "From my experience at Kneecap gigs, it's not about anybody getting hurt, it's just about high energy and expressing ourselves and having a good time. "Maybe it does come down to Palestine and speaking out about it. But that's part of running events: You have to have a bit of balls and put the thing on, people want to see it." In his Fringe show – which has mostly sold out – Angelone considers the "guilt" that he felt for not being around during the Troubles. The comedian reflected on growing up in Belfast, which he described as "a peaceful place that was very recently a violent and dangerous place". He told The National: "There is a feeling of guilt in that most adults that I grew up around are deeply traumatised, and we're sort of standing on their shoulders. "I think there's also a bizarre, I hesitate to use the word jealousy – but that is what it feels like, especially when you're 19 or 20 – of the people who were involved in the violence. "You just want a cause. You've got so much energy and such a lack of your own identity, you have so little self worth that I think somebody grabbing you by the arm and going, 'this is where you should point all your energy, this is the right thing to do' – it solves a lot of the problems that young people face." (Image: Rebecca Need-Menear) Angelone has previously described himself as "always Irish, sometimes Northern Irish, but never British". So where does he stand on Scottish independence? "With Ireland, it feel very obvious because it's one island, and then Scotland, it isn't," Angelone told The National. "I think we can all admit that being Scottish is a very distinct thing from being English, unless you're in Edinburgh," he joked. READ MORE: I was homeless and using drugs. Now I'm playing at the Edinburgh Fringe He went on: "Even though I grew up on the Catholic side in Belfast, I try to take a step back from the tribal element. I don't think the Republic of Ireland's a perfect place, and I don't believe in us being absorbed into the Republic of Ireland as it currently stands." Angelone added that any political solution for both Ireland and Scotland had to be about "whatever gets the people a bigger say". He told The National: "Scotland has a legitimate cultural reason, and arguably the economic feasibility, to be an independent place where everyone would have a bigger voice in how they're governed. "I can see that as a positive." 'I've got some plots and schemes to make very stupid things happen' Angelone's Monkey Barrell has already sold out – leading him to announce two extra shows at McEwan Hall, the historic graduation hall at Edinburgh University. (Image: Connall McHugh) "I've never been in McEwan Hall, and I'm quite excited. My cousins graduated there, and they're annoyed that it took them four years of hard work to get there," he told The National. "But I would argue it's probably taken me four years of hard work – this is my fourth year at the Fringe. I'm sort of graduating from the Edinburgh Fringe." With the venue being so much bigger – at a capacity of more than 1000 people –Angelone implied that he had "some plans, plots and schemes to make very stupid things happen", particularly given his first show happens to coincide with Oasis's return to Edinburgh.

"If you had a Venn diagram of Oasis fans and Edinburgh Fringe-goers, it would be two separate circles for the most part. "My gig is at 11pm. I'm not sure what time Oasis are due to finish at Murrayfield, but I hope it's late enough that none of them can come to my show." Vittorio Angelone: you can't Say Nothing any more is at Underbelly's McEwan Hall venue on August 8 and 22 at 11pm. The show's Monkey Barrel run is sold out.

Fringe 2025 – Athens of the North ⭐⭐⭐⭐
A delivery driver. A student. A confused elderly lady. You might not think these three would have much in common. But on a single day in Edinburgh their paths will intersect. In Athens of the North, writer and solo performer Mark Hannah brings all three characters richly to life; their struggles, their foibles, their small, important, pleasures are laid before us in this accomplished show. First up is Alan He's a delivery driver for Sound Asleep, and we first meet him as he studies the menu in a curry house. He's a typical (aging) lad, full of beer and bravado. His riff on the menu's 'a la carte' section had the audience in fits just two minutes into the show. Hannah is a remarkably versatile actor; he not only inhabits all three of his characters, but even acts out Alan doing an impression of his annoying teetotal boss Brian. It's not the same since Brian's Dad went – back then they used to have fun. But today Alan is in a hurry. If he doesn't get to his daughter Erin's concert at St Giles' Cathedral there'll be hell to pay with his ex-partner. So he rushes off to do his last delivery, only to find it brings back childhood memories he'd rather forget. As Alan floors it back to get to the cathedral by 12, the audience holds its breath, and for more reasons than one. We are holding our collective breath as we see the van charging into the crowded Old Town. What happens next? You'll need to see the show to find out, but let me tell you your emotions will be pulled in every which way as Hannah threads the past and the present together to reveal the man beneath the macho swagger. Hannah's second character isn't from Edinburgh at all. Liam's a working class London boy on a scholarship to study Meteorology at university. He's fascinated by his subject, but when he goes on a last minute holiday to Zante with his friends (cue hilarious description of their 'budget' hotel) he's also fascinated by the Scottish girl he meets there. Meteorological observations, the Beaufort Scale, the humidity; Liam still has time to notice these even as he enjoys their first kiss. When his new love tells him he 'should see the weather in Edinburgh' he takes her at her word. Back in London he takes the train to Waverley on a whim. Hannah gives us a great sketch of a Londoner looking for CockburnStreet and later seeing Stockbridge ('like Disney!') for the first time – but although there's humour, Liam's impressions of Edinburgh are interspersed with lyrical moments too. He looks up at the castle and imagines his 'princess' waiting for him; he watches the Water of Leith, 'it just flows, no calculation, it just is.' And on his way to meet his princess, he walks straight into a man running towards St Giles' Cathedral. Does Liam disappear into the happy ever after with his dream girl? Or does he end up sitting on the top deck of a bus with a rambling old lady? I'm not saying – but again, Hannah ends the piece on a beautifully optimistic note. Cameo three isn't anything like the other two. For this one Hannah needs a handbag, as he morphs into Maureen, an old lady and long time resident of Annandale Street. We first meet Maureen having a crafty fag in her strictly non-smoking care home. She's chatting with her carer, Ross. She likes him better than her son Peter, who's sold her flat and put her – quite unnecessarily in her opinion – into West Edinburgh Residential Care. Hannah creates a convincing study of a woman slowly descending into dementia. Maureen has a mouth like a sewer (she could beat Alan hands down in a swearing match) and some sharp words to say about a lot of things. She reluctantly accepts that she's been forgetting why she went out shopping, but she still remembers all the boxes from her house sale, and she gives a priceless and instantly recognisable description of the buyer, all set to gentrify her home of sixty years. It's easy to imagine this guy's face when Maureen, in characteristically salty terms, puts him right about his chances of staying very long in her flat. But Maureen mostly lapses into memories, weaving in and out of reality as she tells us Alec (her deceased husband) will be coming in soon. She sees him at the end of her bed, imagines he's asking her to go home with him. Soon she's taken herself to the bus stop – and when, on the top deck, a sad young Londoner asks her if she's ok, she's convinced he's Peter. And no, she's not pleased to see him. Although it's certainly not necessary to know Edinburgh to enjoy this show, some references will particularly hit home with locals. Maureen's thoughts on the St James's Shopping Centre raised a lot of laughs with Saturday's audience, as did Alan's opinions on a prawn curry. And again, the ending of Maureen's story is poignant rather than tragic. As she reaches the last part of her eventful life, she's happy reliving her memories with Ross. He looks after her ('better than Peter'!!!) Athens of the North is a very entertaining show, and one that's full of humanity. It's not only the rich and famous who have a story to tell; people are endlessly fascinating, and Mark Hannah brings these three vignettes of 'ordinary' people's lives to the stage with tremendous warmth and skill. The audience loved the show, and so did I. Athens of the North is at the Scottish Storytelling Centre, 43-45 High Street (Venue 30) at 3.15pm every day until 9 August, then on alternate days (starting with 11 August) until 23 August.

UK pornography taskforce to propose banning ‘barely legal' content after Channel 4 documentary airs
The new pornography taskforce will propose legislation this autumn aimed at banning a type of 'barely legal' content produced by the porn star Bonnie Blue, the Guardian has learned. The proposed action by the independent pornography taskforce, launched last month by the Conservative peer Gabby Bertin, comes in response to the broadcast of the Channel 4 documentary 1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story. The programme followed the performer for six months and included her claim to have had sex with 1,057 clients over the course of 12 hours. Visa and Smirnoff are among a number of businesses that have pulled online advertisements from streaming of the documentary, after reviewing the content. The film was condemned by the children's commissioner for England, Dame Rachel de Souza, for 'glamorising and normalising' extreme pornography. The documentary also includes footage of Tia Billinger, whose stage name is Bonnie Blue, in a classroom preparing to film an orgy with a group of models dressed in school uniform; the performers acknowledge that they have been selected because they look very young. Lady Bertin said she planned to lodge amendments to the crime and policing bill in the autumn to make it illegal for online platforms to host any content that could encourage child sexual abuse, including pornography filmed by adults dressed as children. 'This content is pushing at the boundaries. We will be trying to address the 'barely legal' aspect legislatively,' she said. The Online Safety Act charged the regulator Ofcom with monitoring whether pornography sites are protecting UK viewers from encountering illegal material involving child sexual abuse and extreme content, such as portrayals of rape, bestiality and necrophilia. However, other forms of harmful pornography that are regulated offline (in cinemas, for example) are not subject to similar restrictions online. This regulatory anomaly means adults role-playing as children to create pornography that appears close to child sexual abuse imagery is not prohibited online. The Channel 4 documentary only showed preparations for the classroom scene rather than the footage itself. Clips showing Bonnie Blue having sex with more than 1,000 men were pixellated, but the programme has still been widely criticised for promoting her brand and for failing to challenge adequately her assertion that her activity is harmless. Sign up to First Edition Our morning email breaks down the key stories of the day, telling you what's happening and why it matters after newsletter promotion Bertin said the documentary would be on the agenda at the taskforce's next meeting. 'She has become extremely successful; she is an adult and it is consensual, so it may not be harming her, but it has potentially harmful effects on people who think that this is a normal way to behave,' she said. 'We should be asking more about the men who arrive with balaclavas on their head to have sex with her.' De Souza said: 'For years we have been fighting to protect our children from the kind of degrading, violent sex that exists freely on their social media feeds. Now this documentary risks taking us a step back by glamorising, even normalising the things young people tell me are frightening. Bonnie Blue's content showcases violence against women as entertainment and allows sexist ideas that women are 'lesser' than men to go unchecked.' Visa's advertisements were placed by a third-party agency, but the company requested that they be removed from online streaming of the Channel 4 documentary after staff viewed it and judged that the content did not align with its internal guidelines. Staff at the drinks company Diageo are assessing how a Smirnoff advertisement was cleared to appear during online transmission of the show, and have also subsequently pulled their advertising from streaming of the programme. An Ofcom spokesperson said the regulator was assessing the documentary and would decide whether to launch a formal investigation. The policing minister, Diana Johnson, said last week that she would discuss the ease with which children could access the documentary on Channel 4's website with ministerial colleagues. Channel 4 requires users to be 16 to register an account, but there is no age-verification process, so children could lie about their age. A Channel 4 spokesperson said the observational film was designed to provoke debate. 'The film looks at how Bonnie Blue has gained worldwide attention and earned millions of pounds in the last year, exploring changing attitudes to sex, success, porn and feminism in an ever-evolving online world. Director Victoria Silver puts a number of challenges to Bonnie throughout the documentary on the example she sets and how she is perceived, and the film clearly lays bare the tactics and strategies she uses, with the audience purposefully left to form their own opinions.'
