Gogglebox star Sophie Sandiford shared a funny moment during brother Pete’s private ceremony
Gogglebox’s Sophie Sandiford has offered a rare glimpse into her brother’s private wedding. The television star first appeared on the Channel 4 programme back in 2017 for series 10 alongside brother Pete Sandiford and they’ve since become firm favourites.
Over the years, the duo, who reside in Blackpool, have had fans in stitches thanks to their witty remarks and amusing reactions to the week’s top television programmes and films. Despite being in the public eye, Pete has remained fairly private about his family life but during Friday’s (April 3) episode, Sophie revealed a hilarious moment during her brother’s big day.
Pete announced that he and now wife Paige were engaged on Gogglebox back in February 2021, and two months later they confirmed that she was pregnant, reports the Mirror.

However, they kept their big day incredibly low key, and it wasn’t made public until Pete shared the news in an interview back in September that year. While watching Channel 4’s hit dating programme Married At First Sight Australia, Sophie took the opportunity to discuss her speech during Pete’s private wedding.
She went on to say: “I loved your wedding speech, for the fact it was so it was me, you and Brian. Now, Brian was panicking because he thought he was gonna say ‘hello, my name’s Brain’.
Pete jumped in: “Well he’s dyslexic.” Sophie continued: “You haven’t written anything and I was that nervous that I just read off my phone at 2x speed.”
The pair burst into laughter as Pete joked: “Like an auctioneer there.” Mimicking her rapid delivery, Sophie said: “Hello, welcome to the wedding. Thank you everybody for coming.” Pete couldn’t resist teasing his sister as he added: “I’ve known Pete for 30 years. Thank you very much. The buffet is now open.”
Elsewhere during the programme, Pete was struggling to hold back tears as he revealed that he became emotional after dropping his children off at nursery.
Peter, who has two children, Jimmy and Eva, turned to his sister and explained: “Tell you what, it was an emotional roller coaster on Friday. So Paige went to me ‘will you drop Eva off at the nursery?’ I said ‘all right, f****** hell. Yeah.’” Sophie laughed as she said: “They’re your kids.”
In a touching moment, Pete confessed: “I dropped off at praise school and I just got in the car and I just started crying.”
“She’s getting so grown up now.” Struggling to compose himself he said: “I’m welling up now. She’s such a big girl and she just went straight in, not arsed. She didn’t get a s*** about me.”
Sophie quipped: “Now you’re by yourself having a cry in the car.” Pete added: “Have a little sob in the car park.”
Gogglebox airs on Friday at 9pm on Channel 4
