As Gogglebox returns to our screens with a brand new series, once again viewers will be treated to a mischievous cast of avid telly critics as they share their views about the week’s best shows and movies to hit our screens. Yet while some of the stars appear on the show alongside their families, others prefer to keep their partners out of the spotlight.
However, every so often, eagle-eyed viewers have been able to catch a glimpse of their love life on social media with heartfelt tributes and memorable posts exchanged when the cameras stop rolling.
Here, we take a look at some of the relationships of the Gogglebox cast from Lee’s boyfriend Steve, Pete’s wife Paige and Sid Siddiqui’s wife of over 40 years who has never even appeared on the show at all…

Lee Riley and his best friend Jenny Newby are easily one of the most iconic and beloved duos on the show, as they tune in week after week to share their opinion on the week’s TV highlights from Lee’s holiday caravan in Holderness, near Hull.
But away from his friendship with Jenny, Lee is also happily dating his long-term partner of 28 years. Steve Mail has made a guest appearance on the show but is usually out of the spotlight.
In between filming Lee often lives in Cyprus with Steve, although it is unknown if Lee owns the holiday home or simply visits his partner there. The pair have previously shared snaps of their Cyprus home on social media showcasing a spacious kitchen and cosy grey living room.
They also posted a selfie with a swimming pool behind with illuminated by blue lights with the caption “Home is where the heart is”.

Although Jenny and Lee are no strangers to our screens, Jenny’s husband prefers to shy away from the spotlight and enjoys a private life with his wife that has never quite made it onto Gogglebox.
In one brief but extremely rare exchange, Jenny and Ray’s relationship was caught on camera during one episode, when Jenny asked her husband: “Ray, can you do me a favour and pick up my prescription tomorrow?” She then swiftly followed up with: “Hold on a minute!”
Ray had been invited to take part in the show with Jenny when she was first scouted at Beverley Races Ladies’ Day in 2014, however he declined the offer prompting best pal Lee to take his place on the couch.
Pete’s wife Paige

Another popular duo who have appeared on the show are Blackpool based siblings Pete and his sister Sophie Sandiford, with the cheeky duo frequently teasing each other as they share their witty insights into the latest telly.
But away from filming, Pete lives with his stunning wife Paige who he shared the first photo of on Instagram back in October 2020 as the cute pair snuggled up for a selfie.
He captioned the photo: “My Mrs and best mate what more could I ask for, don’t worry @sophiesandiford1 you are a close second best friend.”
In 2021 Pete and Paige got married and in the same year welcomed their first child Jimmy.
A year later in December 2022, during an episode of Gogglebox Pete revealed in a sweet announcement that they were expecting their second child together, who was born in June 2023.
Introducing the little one to the world on Gogglebox, Pete was seen cradling the newborn baby girl as he called out to his sister in the other room: “Sophie, did I tell you Eva’s full name? She’s going to be Eva Sylvie Sandiford.”
The doting new auntie then sweetly shouted back: “I love it!”

Another familiar face to fans is Baasit Siddiqui, who regularly films the show alongside his dad and brothers – but surprisingly his wife Melissa has never been seen on the show.
However, in 2022 Baasit did share a rare photo of his wife and two children online as they marked a major milestone.
Celebrating their tenth anniversary at the time Baasit wrote on the post: “Happy ten year anniversary to the most amazing wife, mummy, friend and soul mate. The last ten years have been full of laughter, love and adventure. Thank you so much @melissasiddiqui for everything that you do.
“If I spent the next ten years explaining how much you mean to me, it still wouldn’t be enough. Love you.”
The couple have two children together, Amelia and Theo.

In March 2022 Ellie’s partner suffered a broken neck and back, two collapsed lungs, and needed life support following a horror accident in which he was hit by a car. Ellie stood by his side and the couple received help and support from brain injury charity Headway, which helps survivors and their families
