You're not going to believe this - Gogglebox siblings Sophie and Pete Sandiford are related to none other than the Chuckle brothers!
Mind. Blown.
As it turns out, Sophie and Pete are the niece and nephew of the TV comedy duo - Paul Chuckle and the late Barry Chuckle, who sadly passed away in 2018.
Fans were shocked when Paul took to his Twitter account to post an image of the pair, captioning it "proud uncle".
