Taking to Twitter during the episode, one person wrote: "So glad to finally have a Scottish family on #Gogglebox – and Glasgow representing! #roisinandjoe – love it."
"Lovin Roisin & Joe from Glasgow on #Gogglebox by the way. Ye canny beat a Glasgow accent," another said, while a third commented: "About time they had a Scottish family on #Gogglebox."
Others were quick to defend the couple against a flurry of comments about needing subtitles to understand their accents. As one said: "A great new addition to the team. I am shocked with some of the rude comments about their accents - they were perfectly clear. How lovely to hear some new voices."

Another wrote in support: "Love to see a Scottish couple on #gogglebox. There are both fans and haters of every family, I'm sure they will be no different. I wish them well in dealing with it all."
Roisin, 23, and Joe, 25, have been together for four years and currently live at Joe's family home, having moved in together at the start of lockdown. According to the broadcaster, Roisin loves shopping, getting dressed up and socialising with her friends, while Joe is a big fan of playing video games, making pizza and spending time with Roisin.

They join the much-loved show after several fan favourite families made the decision to bow out following the loss of their loved ones who co-starred with them on the show. In 2021, Pete McGarry, Mary Cook and Andy Michael passed away, and it was confirmed back in September that their respective friends and family won't be returning to the show.
However, show bosses have said the door is open should they wish to return in the future. Speaking to The Daily Star at the time, executive producer Victoria Ray said: "Their loved ones won't be taking part in the show for the moment. Understandably, they want their privacy."
