Gogglebox fans all have same complaint as show's new couple 'need subtitles'

Gogglebox viewers were having a hard time understanding the newly-introduced Scottish couple.

Glasgow-based Roisin Kelly, 23, and Joe Kyle, 25, were introduced on Friday night's episode of the popular Channel 4 series.

Roisin talked about how the alarms she sets on her phone sometimes 'takes her by surprise'.

However, a few viewers asked for subtitles as they didn't pick up on what the Scottish couple were saying.

Many took to Twitter to post the same exact request in a short amount of time.

"The new Scottish couple need to appear with subtitles," one user said while another posted: " Gogglebox didnt get a word of that."

One questioned: "What? Is there subtiles?" and another added: "No idea what them Scottish people just said #Gogglebox."

"Why is there no subtitles for the new members," one user asked.

An unimpressed user was miffed by the subtitle requests and said: "Not all the English people wanting subtitles for the new Scottish people, p**s off."

Many were just excited to finally have Scottish people on the show.

"Friday nights are quality again with #Gogglebox & FINALLY the new Scottish folk are on," one user said.

Another added: "Proper Scottish lass, got the Irn-Bru, there!"

The couple have joined the likes of fan favourites Jenny and Lee, Pete and Sophie, Ellie and Izzie and the Malone Family to give their hilarious opinions on some of the biggest TV shows out there.

Roisin is said to love shopping, getting glammed up and socialising with friends. Meanwhile, boyfriend Joe is interested in video games, likes making pizza and spending time with Roisin.

Announcing the news of the new couple on Twitter, Gogglebox said: "Meet our new Scottish Goggleboxers Roisin and Joe.

"See you on the sofa for brand new Gogglebox TONIGHT, 9pm on Channel 4."

Roisin works full time at BBC Scotland, according to her LinkedIn profile, where she works as a Social Media Producer.
