Gogglebox is finally returning to our screens this evening which means the nation's best-loved siblings are back on TV.
The Blackpool duo, Sophie and Pete Sandiford, have been favourites of the hit Channel 4 show since they first made their appearance in 2017.
Sister Sophie, 26, and brother Pete, 28, are known for their quick quips and one-liners in response to the latest telly.
While they've become part of our Friday night routine, the siblings have very busy lives away from Gogglebox.
It's reported that they earn £1,500 per month from the show, but they both have full-time jobs.
Following the collapse of Debenhams during the pandemic, Sophie lost her job as a retail assistant. But in March, she announced she had embarked on a new career as a florist.
Pete works in insurance, according to the Mirror, and he recently picked up a new role at home, becoming a father for the first time.
The star married his long-term girlfriend Paige Yeomans and they welcomed their first baby, Jimmy, together last year.
He announced the exciting news last September at the National Television Awards while walking the red carpet with Sophie.
"It's a bit overwhelming, got it all going on at the moment!" Pete told OK! "He's a cool little lad, takes after his mum not me!
"I’ve been up all night, I slept on the train here - got suitcases under my eyes, you just got me at a good time now."
It's where he also revealed he had tied the knot with fiancée Paige, announcing: "I'm married now!
"It was nerve-wracking but the best day of my life. Well, second best day as I’m a dad now, too."
Pete has since shared a snap of the happy couple on their wedding day to Instagram, celebrating their six-month anniversary.
He wrote: "Happy 6 month wedding
