Gogglebox fans have never seen Pete Sandiford’s wife Paige on the Channel 4 show – as he always appears alongside his sister Sophie.
Though Pete’s son, who he shares with Paige, has made several appearances on the reality programme, Paige herself has never before appeared on our telly screens.
However, it looked like things could change on Sunday (January 2) as the programme aired a festive special with Pete and Sophie discussing what he’d purchased for Paige.
Pete could be heard in the house asking: “What time is Paige coming?” as Sophie replied: “In about an hour.”
But her brother quizzed: “If she’s coming in about an hour why didn’t we just do it in 45 minutes?”

“In case we run out of time!” Sophie explained.
And fans were soon clued into what was going on, as Sophie attempted to wrap her brother from head-to-toe in red wrapping paper.
Pete joked: “Tell you what, this is a belting idea. Considering I’ve forgotten her Christmas present!”

But giggling, Pete admitted: “I can’t breathe!”
Sophie insisted: “You can, you can! Hang on – I’ll get you on the couch.”
The pair simply collapsed into giggles as Sophie realised she couldn’t quite manage to carry her brother the distance it would take – and it’s safe to say Paige might not have been too impressed with her gift.

Although Paige hasn’t made a full appearance on the show, she does regularly appear on social media with Sophie and Pete.
Sophie posted a sweet black-and-white Instagram snap of the three of them together, writing: “My best friends forever @sandifordpete @paigeyeomans.”
And though Pete does like to keep his private life on the down-low, he is happy to share details with fans, explaining that he’d married Paige in secret away from the show.
Opening up to Daily Star at the National Television Awards 2021, Pete explained: “I’m married now! It was nerve-wracking but the best day of my life. Well second best day as I’m a dad now, too.
“I’m buzzing [to be at the NTAs] as I got a full night’s sleep in a hotel so I’m well happy.”
The TV star added: “[Being a dad is] tiring. The lack of sleep is not cool but it’s definitely worth it.”
“He’s basically a miniature version of me and Paige and that’s what I always wanted so I feel well lucky.”
He added to The Mirror at the time: “It’s a bit overwhelming, got it all going on at the moment!
“He’s a cool little lad, takes after his mum not me!”
