Baasit, Umar and their father Sid have been on the popular programme since it began, and viewers love them for their hilarious TV commentary.

They joined Gogglebox when it first aired back in 2013, and the trio are occasionally joined by Sid’s other son Raza.

Taking to their well-known sofa each week, they offer their unfiltered thoughts on an array of TV programmes, but what do the family do when they’re not filming?

Dad Sid, 73, was born in Pakistan and moved to the UK when he was 16.

Residing in Derby, Sid spends plenty of time with his dear sons Baasit, 34, and Umar, 41.

Retired Sid qualified as a Power Engineer from the University of Derby, and the dad-of-three worked for the NHS for 37 years.

He has been married for nearly 40 years, and he shares five children with his beloved wife.

Umar has worked for the NHS as a Biomedical Scientist in Microbiology at the Royal Derby Hospital for nearly 17 years.

Baasit is an IT teacher and has been teaching in a secondary school since 2007.

As well as Baasit and Umar, Sid and his wife have another son, Raza, as well as two daughters.

Raza has made an array of appearances on the Channel 4 show, but he’s not on as often as his brothers due to work commitments.

The Siddiqui family have their own Instagram page, and regularly share snaps with their 10.9k followers on the social media site.

They mostly share pictures of family members who have appeared on the television show, but occasionally they post photographs of rarely-seen loved ones.

Baasit is married to Melissa, and the couple share two children together.

Their eldest daughter Amelia has made several guest appearances on Gogglebox, much to the delight of viewers.

Earlier this month, Baasit posted a rare snap alongside his beloved wife to celebrate their anniversary.

Paying tribute to his wife of eight years, he shared a series of sweet snaps to mark the momentous occasion.

The third photograph was of the married couple beaming alongside their two children.

Baasit also recently delighted his followers with a rare photograph of his mother who usually stays out of the limelight.

Sid’s wife and daughters are seemingly camera-shy as they’ve never appeared on Gogglebox.

In the sweet family photograph, the mother smiled as she posed alongside granddaughter Amelia and her husband.

Alongside an array of pictures of the trio, he wrote: “I was trying to get a photo of all three of these guys staring at the camera and smiling! Dad is like a statue with that smile but Mum and Amelia were doing it on purpose.

“Each time one of them would smile the other would look the other way or swap! The Siddiqui ladies are a stubborn and cheeky bunch.”

Gogglebox airs Fridays at 9pm on Channel 4.
