The sisters, who have been on the Channel 4 show since 2017, were noticeably absent, which prompted fans to worry they’d been axed.

It comes after Scottish couple Roisin and Joe were axed in July[/caption]
One viewer wrote: “Where’s Amira and Amani this week?”
A second said: “Missing Amira & Amani this week,” while another said: “I hope Amira & Amani haven’t left the show, they’re the best.”
Another added: “So two of the best people in the cast of Gogglebox are missing.”
But that wasn’t the only concern that Gogglebox fans had tonight.
Earlier this year, it was revealed that five new families had joined this series.
These include friends Jake and Calum from Glasgow, the Gordon family (Andre, Sarah, and Chee) from Surrey, married couple Andrew and Alfie from The Cotswolds, mother and daughter-in-law Sara and Lara from Yorkshire, and sisters Rosie and Susie from Edinburgh.
But some viewers have struggled to “warm” to the newbies and begged for Scottish couple Roisin and Joe to return after they were axed in July.
This viewer wrote: “Gogglebox why did you feel the need to change things up on a highly popular programme? I just don’t get why commissioners and production companies feel the need to change a winning recipe. The new ingredients haven’t enhanced the dish.”
A second posted: “Gogglebox too many posh families now no fun at all.”
A third said: “I’ve still not warmed to any of the new goggleboxers,” while another added: “Gogglebox has gone all posh and less diverse.”
Roisin and Joe joined Gogglebox in 2022, but announced they were leaving the show in the summer.
Taking to social media, 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.
“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!”
She added: “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.”
Roisin and boyfriend Joe, who were the first Scots to appear on the much-loved hit for over six years, added: “We have made friends for life and after filming every week for years you have become like our family!
“We could not have asked for better people to work with and we will miss you immensely.
“It for sure has been a once in a lifetime opportunity. Time to watch TV in silence for a bit and put down the popcorn.”
A spokesperson for Channel 4 said: “We thank Joe and Roisin for their contributions to Gogglebox over the years, and wish them all the best for the future.”
