Gogglebox Siddiquis supported as they give two weeks' notice

Gogglebox stars Baasit and Raza Siddiqui have given fans a two week countdown on their Instagram page.

The Siddiquis have been a fixture of the popular Channel 4 show ever since its very first season back in 2013. The family have welcomed viewers back into their Derbyshire home for the latest season where they commentate on the week's best TV.

Fans of the programme love the Siddiquis for their dry sense of humour and quick jokes when watching what's on their screens.

On Monday a post from their official Instagram account shared a photo of brothers Baasit and Raza. It told their many followers the two stars are just a fortnight away from undertaking a huge challenge.

The caption said: "#100mileweek. Ahhh we have 2 weeks to go [monkey hiding emoji]. Thank you so much to everyone who has donated & words of encouragement & support. We really appreciate it! The count down is on". [sic]

Baasit and Raza plan to run 100 miles in a week with the aim of raising £4,000 for two different charities. The first of these is Me & Dee, which aims to "to ensure families going through difficult and uncertain times are gifted with memories they can treasure, never losing sight of what truly matters".

The second is Education Support, which supports the wellbeing of teaching staff.

Fans have rushed to offer their support on the post. Taking to the comments section Natalie said: "Good luck to you both, you’ll smash it x" while Terri said: "Show them how it’s done guys".

Patricia said: "You can do this good luck" and Caz said: "Your Gogglebox family will be so proud, go for it".
