Gogglebox favourite 'lined up' up for I'm A Celebrity after axe from Channel 4 show

A cherished Gogglebox favourite could be heading for a jungle adventure on I'm A Celeb after their surprising departure from the Channel 4 programme.

Roisin Kelly and Joe Kyle burst onto the scene back in February 2022, creating television history as the inaugural Scottish duo to grace the show - and it wasn't long before they captured viewers' hearts.

Throughout their tenure, Roisin and Joe - who call Glasgow home - have left audiences in hysterics with their brilliant quips and amusing reactions to the evening's television offerings.

Yet last month, Roisin disclosed that they'd been axed from the programme - which returns for its 26th series next month - devastating devoted fans.

Breaking the heartbreaking news on TikTok, Roisin wrote: "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.", reports the Manchester Evening News.

"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."

However, Roisin and Joe are now being earmarked for a place on a massive reality programme. Bookmakers Betway are certain that the duo could venture into the I'm A Celebrity jungle later this year.

Spokesperson Mike Reading revealed: "After their surprise departure from Gogglebox, many viewers will be eager to see what's next for Roisin Kelly and Joe Kyle, who have managed to generate a keen fanbase."

He continued: "They could follow in the footsteps of previous Gogglebox stars and enter Celebrity Big Brother (5/1) or take a trip into the I'm a Celebrity jungle (10/1)."

But there's more, as Mike also forecasted a new podcast hosted by the pair. He elaborated: "Known for their quick wit and chemistry, the pair are now priced at 2/1 to launch their own podcast, which would seem like a natural step, given Roisin's proven success on two previous shows.

"As Roisin recently told her 60,000 TikTok followers, they're now free to take on fresh opportunities including brand partnerships and new media ventures."

Gogglebox series 26 is scheduled to begin on Friday, September 5th, 2025, on Channel 4.
