Gogglebox stars Pete and Sophie’s real jobs revealed – and it’s not what you might think
GOGGLEBOX star Pete and Sophie Sandiford are famous for their cutting commentary on the week’s TV.
But – like all the participants on the Channel 4 hit, they don’t get paid enough for that to be their full-time job.
Now their real jobs have been revealed as they help promote the show as it celebrates a decade on screen.
Pete is a building company boss, it’s revealed in a new interview with Heat, while Sophie is a florist.
Previously, he worked in insurance while she had a job at high street giant Debenhams until it fell into administration in 2019.
The pair also cleared up something that has confused many fans over the years – whose house it is we see on screen.
Pete told the magazine: “So, 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 any more.’
“Then Soph moved in on the sly, didn’t you?”
She replied: “Yeah, then I took over the whole house.”
He added: “Soph bought the house off me and I moved out, and now me and Paige have our own house.”
Paige is the TV star’s wife, with whom she shares a son called Jimmy, with another on the way.
Gogglebox is celebrating its tenth anniversary with a special show that will air alongside the regular run.
The normal show continues to broadcast on Fridays at 9pm while a Gogglebox Ten Year Anniversary Special is on Saturday 11 March at 9pm.
