Privacy Notice Gogglebox fan favourite Pete Sandiford says he is unable to afford to give up his day job as a roofer, despite his TV fame. The star, who comes from Blackpool, has been a mainstay of the show for five years alongside his sister Sophie. But The Sun reported that the show’s £1,500 a month fee isn’t enough for the dad of one to live off. Speaking to the publication at an awards ceremony, Pete said: “We just saw Eammon Holmes. I am just a builder from Blackpool, so it is a bit strange when celebrities know us. I was on a roof yesterday.”

Pete was asked if would give up his job but he responded, saying: “I have got to pay my mortgage somehow.” It also seems as though Gogglebox is the only show Pete would be interested in appearing on as when asked if he would like to increase his TV portfolio he said: “No, nothing beats sitting on the sofa.” Pete is usually tight lipped about his personal life but fans were delighted when they caught a glimpse of his wife, Paige, back in April 2022. Sophie, Pete’s sister, posted a photo of the couple attending a wedding on her Instagram and fans were quick to remark at how stunning she looked. Paige wore a plum silk midi dress which she paired with gold heels and a matching handbag. She wore her brunette hair down and smiled as she clutched a glass of Champagne.

Fans commented in their droves on the picture, with one user saying: “That’s Pete’s wife?!” with a shocked emoji. Someone else said: ”Is that Peter’s girlfriend there?” and after someone replied “his wife” they said: “She’s gorgeous.” Another said: “She’s stunning”. One cheeky comment said: “Nahhhh Pete is punching”. The couple share a son called Jimmy, and a baby girl named Eva Sylvie. Paige reportedly works as an Emergency Service Call Handler. Last week, Gogglebox viewers were unhappy when a new family was introduced to the show. Michael and Sally and their sons Harry and Jake hail from Kent and were introduced in a new episode where they got to chat about quiz show Only Connect, the thriller series Nightsleeper and Netflix romcom Emily in Paris. However, an interaction between the family early on in the episode did not go down well with some viewers. Michael told his teenage sons they could have been driving since they were 16 years old if they had chosen to, as they would have been able to obtain agricultural driving licences to drive tractors on the family farm. Jake then scoffed: “I can go and pick up my girl on a tractor.” Some fans of the show decided this exchange meant the family were “posh” and took to social media to complain.Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
