Gogglebox star Pete Sandiford's life away from show - including job and off-screen family

Pete Sandiford and his younger sister Sophie Sandiford have become fan favourites on Gogglebox since joining the popular Channel 4 reality show around five years ago.

The reality TV star, 27, has been a regular feature on the review series alongside his sister, 26, since 2017 - with him considered one of the show's biggest stars in recent years.

And although he's broadcast into the living rooms of millions of Gogglebox fans each week, many viewers might not be too familiar with his life away from filming the show.

This includes him having two other siblings who don't appear on the show as well as working a regular job - with Pete having also become a father and husband recently.

It's understood that as well as Sophie, he has two other siblings, called Harry and Lucy, who haven't ever been on the show. Photos of them however have been on Instagram.

Other members of his family include Paul Elliott, 74, - best known as one half of the the Chuckle Brothers with the late Barry Elliott - who is the great uncle of Pete and Sophie.

Pete is married to wife Paige Yeomans and the couple have an almost one-year-old son named Jimmy Sandiford. His birth was announced by Pete in September last year.

And although Paige hasn't yet appeared on Gogglebox, toddler Jimmy has featured alongside his dad and aunty, with fans even calling for him to be a regular cast member.

Tomorrow (May 22) marks the first wedding anniversary for Pete and Paige - who is said to work as an emergency services call handler - after they tied the knot last year.

Paying tribute to his partner on the sixth month anniversary, Pete described Paige as his "best mate" and "the best mummy in the world" in a post on social media previously.

Pete also has a one-year-old dog named Colin, who has appeared on the show and features on his social media. The puppy is understood to be a Corgi.

It's been reported that aside from his role on Gogglebox, Pete is also employed within the insurance industry - though the specifics of his job have yet to be revealed.

Him and younger sister Sophie - who works as a florist - are said to fit their commitments for the Channel 4 show around their regular work during the production's filming.

Gogglebox continues next Friday from 9pm on Channel 4.
