Gogglebox star Baasit Siddiqui’s rarely-seen wife has shared a slew of adorable snaps on their wedding anniversary.
The TV favourite, joined the Gogglebox cast with his family the Siddiquis for its very first series back in 2013. Since then, the Gogglebox originals, which includes dad Sid and brothers Baasit and Umar, have been a long-running staple on the show.
Away from the hit Channel 4 show, Baasit is married to Melissa and he usually keeps his personal life with his wife and their two children, daughter Amelia and son Theodore, low-key. But on Thursday (October 5) Melissa uploaded a heartwarming post to celebrate a major milestone with Baasit.
