Meet the Glasgow friends and Edinburgh sisters joining Gogglebox for new series

A pair of Glasgow friends and Edinburgh sisters will join Channel 4’s Gogglebox line-up for its brand new series.

The hit Channel 4 reality series documents different households as they commentate on a range of TV shows from their homes.

The new series, which begins on Friday, September 5, will see some brand-new faces join the programme for its 26th season.

Audiences can expect to see friends 27-year-old Jake and 31-year-old Calum from Glasgow on the new series.

Sisters Rosie, 68, and Susie, 70, from Edinburgh will also be on the show.

The Gordon family – made up of Andre (49), Sarah (47) and their daughter Chee (25) – from Surrey, and married couple Andrew (62) and Alfie (32) from The Cotswolds will also be on the show.

Mother and daughter-in-law, Sara (87) and Lara (58) from Yorkshire, have also been announced.

Mike Cotton, creative director at Studio Lambert, said: “It’s a delight to welcome some new households to the Gogglebox family.

“Along with our much-loved returning cast, we can’t wait to join them in their living rooms and hear their candid thoughts on this week’s most talked-about TV.”

The newcomers will be joining the regular Goggleboxers, which include Jenny and Lee, The Siddiquis, The Malones and Giles and Mary.

Ellie and Izzi will also return to the program along with David and Shirley, the Plummers, Amira and Amani and the Worthingtons.

Pete and Sophie, Abbie and Georgia and Sue and Steve will also feature in the new series as well as Simon and Jane, Ronnie and Annie, Danielle and Daniella, Teresa and Anita and Michael, Sally, Jake and Harry.

It comes after a Glasgow couple were “dumped” from the show this year after more than three years.

Roisin Kelly and Joe Kyle confirmed in July that Channel 4 had not asked them back ahead of filming for season 26.

The couple first made their debut in February 2022 and were the first Scottish cast members to join the show in six years.

They were added to the cast after Channel 4 faced scrutiny during a Scottish Affairs Committee session in 2021.

The series is produced by Studio Lambert, the production team behind The Inheritance and The Traitors.

The new series of Gogglebox will return to Channel 4 on Friday, September 5 at 9pm.
