Gogglebox stars Roisin Kelly and Joe Kyle have split months after leaving the series.
The Scottish couple made their debut on the Channel 4 entertainment show’s 19th series in 2022, but were axed after three years on the sofa.
In another big change to their lifestyle, they’ve now separated – just months after moving in together.
Kelly, 26, hinted at the split on Instagram, sharing a selection of photos signalling her new lifestyle.
One photo showed her holding an envelope reading “an antidote for a broken heart”, and another saw her compare herself to Bridget Jones, the character who is often single in the early books and films from the franchise.
She captioned the post: “Well table for 1 it is then girls!”, which prompted messages of support from her fans.
The former couple announced they had been dropped from Gogglebox last year, writing: “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. Therefore, we are leaving the Gogglebox family.
They thanked the show’s production company, Studio Lambert, for the opportunity, stating: “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.”

The pair added that they had “made friends for life” on the show and “could not have asked for better people to work with”.
“After filming every week for years you have become like our family! We will miss you immensely. It for sure has been a once in a lifetime opportunity.”
Kelly, who moved in with Kyle in September 2025, has given no reason for the split.
Gogglebox started in 2013 and quickly became a living room staple. The longest-serving stars of the show are the Siddiqui family, who appeared in the very first episode, with the Malone Family joining in series four.
Following close behind are posh couple Giles Wood and Mary Killen, who made their debut in series five, and sisters Ellie and Izzi Warner, who joined the following year.
