Former Gogglebox star Sandra Martin has revealed in an emotional interview that four people close to her have died from coronavirus.
The 58-year-old Channel 4 star urged fans to listen to government’s advice and stay at home after her sister-in-law lost her life to the deadly bug last week.
“When I found out I started to cry and my daughter told me to pack my bags so I am staying with her in Brixton at the moment.”
She continued telling Metro.co.uk: “My friend’s dad died first, then my brother’s wife died, my uncle died and my good friend from Brixton died, it is all so tragic. What is going on?”
Sandra has begged the public to self-isolate amid the ongoing pandemic.

She continued: “People need to stay home, they aren’t listening. Children aren’t listening to their parents as they aren’t paying attention to the social distancing.
“I know some people are doing the right thing and only going out if necessary but people will keep dying if they don’t listen.”
Sandra, who appeared on Gogglebox between 2013 until 2017 – shared the sad news about her sister-in-law’s death with her followers last week.

She wrote on Twitter: “Am crying. My brother’s wife just died of coronavirus. RIP my sister-in-law.”
Sandra had previously revealed her brother’s wife and her daughter were in hospital with coronavirus.
She said at the time: “Just spoke to my brother and they are both still in hospital but critical now. He is at his wife’s side. Pray.”
The star then added: “This has made me very unwell. When it hits your doorstep you feel the pain. Am constantly praying.”
