Gogglebox’s Pete Sandiford and partner Paige welcome first child

A massive congrats to the couple.

Gogglebox's Pete Sandiford and his partner Paige have welcomed their first child. The couple, who are engaged to be married, shared the happy news at last night's National Television Awards, as Pete confirmed they had welcomed a baby boy. "It's a bit overwhelming, got it all going on at the moment," he told The Mirror, revealing that he and Paige had indeed welcomed their first child.

"The cool little lad takes after his mum," he said, before adding: "I've been up all night. I slept on the train here. [I've usually] got suitcases under my eyes, you just got me at a good time now."

Pete revealed that he was set to become a dad on the Channel 4 series earlier this year, showing sister Sophie an ultrasound scan on his phone. The Gogglebox cast were honoured at last night's awards and during their speech took the time to pay tribute to the stars they had lost this year.

"On behalf of the Gogglebox family, I would just like to say a massive thanks for this award and on a sadder note, I'd like to dedicate it to all the people we've lost over the last 18 months," Julie said.

"Andy, Pete, Mary and everybody's favourite grandma June who has been reunited with Leon."

Pete added: "We just want to say a massive thank you to Channel 4 and the cast and crew.

"None of it would be possible without you. The crew work tirelessly to get the show out in such a short amount of time."
