New Gogglebox couple from Glasgow join the show and fans love them

The newest members of the Gogglebox family appeared on Friday's (February 25) episode, and they were an instant hit.

Joe and Roisin are a couple and have been together for four years, before moving into Joe's family home in Glasgow at the start of lockdown.

The pair made their debut discussing Love Is Is Blind, Starstruck, Cheaters and Celebrity Help! My House is Haunted.

Roisin is 23 and loves shopping, getting dressed up and socialising with friends.

Her partner Joe is 25 and loves playing video games and pizza making.

The pair were shown chatting about Roisin's unusual habit of setting her alarm - and being surprised when it goes off.

Roisin says: "Even if I don’t need to get up I will set an alarm, just to remind myself that I don’t need to get up."

Joe's not keen, saying: "Your alarms still go off like two hours after you’re awake," which Roisins admits to, adding: "I know, sometimes if that gets me in a bad mood, it makes me feel homicidal."

Getting to grips with Roisin's logic, Joe says: "So you set your alarm and it then goes off and then you start screaming at your alarm as if you’re not the one that set it?"

According to Roisin, sometimes it takes her by surprise: "I don’t expect them to go off. Because I set them over a four-hour window."

Joe finally sees the funny side, quipping: "Like a carpet bomb, just going to drop a wee bit everywhere, see what happens."

Margaret Muir @Margare29296767 was one of the tweeters to pile in with her approval: "Lovin Roisin & Joe from Glasgow on #Gogglebox by the way. Ye canny beat a Glasgow accent."

Lianne Lisa @27Lianne86 tweeted: "Yasss about time there was more Scottish people on it #bringonthescots," a sentiment which was echoed by many.

Sian Aitken @SianAitken tweeted: "At last!!" with a Scottish Saltire emoji, while Claire Anderson @clairedancing2 added: "Finally Scottish people."

Gogglebox airs on Channel 4 at 9 pm on 25 February.
