Gogglebox fans were forced to do a double take after spotting a huge detail in a childhood snap of Channel 4 legends Ellie and Izzi Warner – and it’s all about Izzi’s daughter Bessie.
The TV sisters have starred on the commentary show since 2015 and in recent years they have shared the screen with their youngsters on the famous show. But back in March, Ellie’s Instagram followers were almost convinced her tot Bessie made an appearance in one of her posts.
In the nostalgic post promoting an upcoming Gogglebox episode, Ellie is seen chilling with the family pooch. Her furry friend was seen rocking pigtails and a pink stripy top, while Izzi donned a floral jacket.

Another chimed in: “This photo seems like yesterday.”, reports the Mirror. But the real jaw-dropper was when eagle-eyed fans clocked how much Izzi’s daughter Bessie resembled her mother as a youngster.
A third user gushed: “How much does Betsy look like you! “, as another echoed: “God Bessie is just like Izzi!!!”. The comments kept rolling in, with someone else pointing out: “I always thought Bessie was Grant! But she looks just like @izziwarner in this picture, what a beautiful photo of you both Ellie.”
Another stunned fan declared: “Bessie is literally her mummies twin.” Ellie, a hairdresser by profession, is also a devoted mum to her son Ezra, whom she shares with her boyfriend Nat Eddleston.

She first experienced the joys of motherhood in May 2023 and has been keeping her fans updated on her journey ever since. On Thursday (May 16), Ellie took to Instagram to share an “early” first birthday celebration for her little boy.
The TV star posted a series of photos where she can be seen proudly holding Ezra’s birthday cake in her garden alongside her partner. She captioned the post: “Early 1st birthday celebrations for Ezra! Got to milk your 1st birthday.
“I just wanted to show off the cake I made really”. Izzi, meanwhile, is a mum to Bessie and nine year old Bobby, from her relationship with Grant.

The Gogglebox star marked her daughter’s fourth birthday on February 3, 2024, with a sweet post on her own Instagram account. “My baby girl is 4”, she wrote, “Huge happy birthday to my darling daughter, the sweetest, kindest, pony mad little princess there ever was! We love you so much! “.
Despite the changes in their personal lives, Ellie and Izzi remain integral parts of Gogglebox’s ongoing success. However, the show bid farewell to two of its long-standing members last year when Stephen Webb and his husband Daniel Lustig-Webb left the programme to pursue other ventures.
The couple have since parted ways but maintain a friendly relationship, with Stephen rumoured to be appearing on Celebs Go Dating. Gogglebox airs on Friday nights from 9pm on Channel 4 or catch up on All4.
