On Friday night, Channel 4 viewers tuned in for a brand new instalment of the beloved show, Gogglebox
It looks as though Channel 4 viewers were less than impressed with the latest episode of Gogglebox as more new faces were introduced to the show.
Last week saw the introduction of several newcomers, including Mother and daughter-in-law Sara and Lara, friends Jake and Calum and family Andre, Sarah and daughter Chee, following one recently axed star breaking their silence on being dropped.
However, during the latest episode, another new duo made their debut on the popular show, sisters Rosie and Susie.
Although it looks as though fans of the long-running programme haven’t been blown away with the new additions, with some believing they’re not being genuine.
Taking to X, one person said: “Why so much air time for those Scottish sisters, left one is totally over acting and playing to the camera. So fake, while point is to be normal and react to what your watching. Too much.”
Someone else added: “There is a lot of desperate over acting from the new peeps, making it less authentic. If it wasn’t broken, why ‘fix’ it?”
While a third demanded: “Stop all this performative nonsense and be authentic #Gogglebox”
In agreement, someone else said: “No offence but these new Goggleboxers are not natural they know what #gogglebox fans like and their trying too hard. Not naturally funny [sic] forced.”
Although there were some people who were thrilled with the newcomers, with one person commenting: “Liking the new Scottish sisters already #gogglebox”
The new families on Gogglebox come after Scottish duo Roisin and Joe were axed from the show. The couple first appeared on the Channel 4 show back in 2022 and quickly became fan-favourites of the series.
However, announcing their exit, the duo commented: “”After three and a half years of sitting on the sofa Channel 4 have decided it’s time for Joe and I to stretch out 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.”
Gogglebox is available to watch on My4.
