Gogglebox’s Pete Sandiford’s sad reason for selling home to sister Sophie
Pete and Sophie Sandiford are the brother-sister duo that leave Gogglebox viewers in stitches each week with their witty one-liners, but it’s not always fun and games for the beloved channel 4 stars.
They film at Sophie’s property for the show, but there is a heartbreaking backstory behind the fact that Pete no longer lives in the house – and it’s all because of a break-up.
Explaining the living situation to Heat magazine, Pete revealed: “It was my house originally. I had it for years and then I split with the girl I was seeing and thought: ‘I don’t really want to live here anymore. Then Soph moved in on the sly, didn’t you?”
She replied: “Yeah, then I took over the whole house.”
“Soph bought the house off me, and I moved out, and now me and Paige have our own house,” he clarified.
Paige is Pete’s wife, and they now have two children together, a son called Jimmy and a daughter called Eva Sylvie.

Helium-filled balloons were also seen on the ceiling, presumably for Pete who has a November birthday.
Their all-white room with beige carpets has a silver wall light but apart from that, no other design elements can be observed. On the floor, a sensory water mat for their daughter can be seen, which is often used for tummy time.
In 2021, Pete shared a picture with son Jimmy in the family bathroom. The room has modern beige tiles, silver fittings and a shower cubicle with a rainfall shower head.

Sisters Ellie and Izzi Warner appear together on the show, but only ever from Ellie’s lounge! Izzi also lives in Leeds but in another property with her children, and she has revealed her beautiful home online but it never features on the show.
