AS IF!
With the 19th series of hit Channel 4 show Gogglebox currently airing on Channel 4 every Friday night, fans of the show are loving seeing their favourite cast members such as Giles and Mary, Ellie and Izzi, The Malones and Jenny and Lee back on our screens!
And believe it or not, despite news breaking back in 2018 that brother and sister duo Sophie and Pete Sandiford are related to a very well-known actor, some fans are only just discovering the news.
It turns out Sophie and Pete are the niece and nephew of the one and only Chuckle Brothers - Paul Chuckle, and the late Barry Chuckle!
Back in June 2019, Paul shared a selfie featuring Sophie and Pete, where he captioned the snap with 'Proud Uncle'. He wrote, 'Look who we had a very nice lunch with @pinklarkholme #ProudUncle 😁 @Petesandiford @PeteandSophie @llucyjohnson'. (sic)
When a fan asked Paul if he was related to the Gogglebox stars, the actor replied saying, 'We most certainly are'.
Sophie paid tribute to her late uncle Barry when he sadly passed away in 2018. Sharing a photo alongside her brother, and Barry and Paul, Sophie wrote, 'A truly lovely and funny man to be around. You filled millions of childhoods with laughter and entertainment including mine and Peters. You will be sadly missed by many. Rest in peace Uncle Barry.
'Lots of love from me, to you🌟'. (sic)
With the news doing the rounds once again, fans took to Twitter to express their shock.
One wrote: 'Wait why did nobody ever tell me that Pete and Sophie from Gogglebox are Paul Chuckle’s niece and nephew???? ', with another writing: 'Sophie and Pete off Gogglebox's uncles are Barry and Paul Chuckle wtf ?!!!!!!!!!!'. (sic)
