Gogglebox’s Sophie Sandiford looks loved-up in rare picture with boyfriend Ben McKeown

Gogglebox favourite Sophie Sandiford has shared a sweet new photo of herself and her rarely-seen partner.

The 27-year-old, who usually appears on the Channel 4 show with her brother Pete, gave fans a glimpse in to her life away from the cameras with the cosy snap.

Adding just a simple heart emoji in lieu of a caption, it was the first time that Ben McKeown had appeared on her Instagram grid since Valentine's Day when they went to Paris.

Sophie used to work at high street giant Debenhams before it fell into administration in 2019 and is now a florist.

Pete and Sophie are staples of the popular Channel 4 reality show with their funny commentary on the week's TV live from Sophie's living room.

Gogglexbox star Pete, 28, revealed in an interview with Heat magazine who lives in the house that has been shown weekly on Googlebox since they joined the show in 2017.

He explained: "So, it was my house originally. I had it for years and then I split with the girl I was seeing and thought: 'I don't really want to live here any more.' Then Soph moved in on the sly, didn't you?"

She replied: "Yeah, then I took over the whole house." He added: "Soph bought the house off me and I moved out, and now me and Paige have our own house."

The pair have featured in the last 11 of the show's 21 series, and have gone on to become fan favourites on the show due to their brother-sister chemistry and their fun one-liners.

Despite becoming household names following Gogglebox's success, participating in the show does not pay enough for the reality series cast to make featuring in the show a full-time career.

Pete is a building company boss after previously working in insurance - and is also the proud dad of toddler Jimmy, who he shares with wife Paige and has featured on the Channel 4 show in the past.

In December, Pete announced on the show that he and wife Paige are expecting their second child together.
