Channel 4 Gogglebox announces brand new family after plea for new people to join show

Gogglebox has confirmed that a new family will be making their debut on the show.

It saw the return of viewer favourites Sophie and Pete Sandiford, Jenny and Lee, and the Siddiqui's.

The programme's official Twitter page made the announcement as they shared a snap of Joe, 25, and Roisin, 23.

The message about the couple, who hail from Scotland, said: "Meet our new Scottish Goggleboxers Roisin and Joe!

"See you on the sofa for brand new #Gogglebox TONIGHT, 9pm on @Channel4."

According to the Mirror, Joe and Roisin moved together in to Joe's family home in Glasgow together during lockdown.

The pair are the first Scottish couple to join the show after bosses made a plea for some Scottish families to join the programme.

Channel 4 confirmed back in November that it will fund a dedicated casting team to find a Scottish family to star in the show.

However, Gogglebox never advertises for applicants to appear on the show and has previously shut down rumours that applications were open for the series.

Joe and Roisin's debut comes after a few new cast members made their debut appearances last year.

Brother and sister pairing Simon and Jane were seen for the first time in October then in November, couple Annie and Ronnie started appearing on the show.

The latest additions come after a number of departures from the show in the last year.
