Gogglebox's Pete Sandiford announces he's going to be a dad

Gogglebox star Pete Sandiford has announced he's going to be a dad.

The 26-year-old, who stars on the Channel 4 show alongside his sister Sophie, revealed the happy news on the latest episode which aired on Friday night.

The show began by heading to the sibling duo in Blackpool and showed Sophie looking at her phone.

"My niece or nephew," the 24-year-old auntie-to-be said as she asked Pete: "Does it look like me?"

The camera then revealed exactly what she as looking at - a scan picture of Pete's unborn baby with fiance Paige Yeomans.

"No," Pete bluntly replied. "It's going to be good looking," he joked.

"Innit mad, I'm actually going to be a dad to somebody."

Sophie replied; "Crazy, life is coming at you fast."

And fans have flooded social media with their congratulations.

"Oh my god Pete announcing he’s gonna be a dad and I’m as happy as I would be if it was one of my mates, I need to get a grip #gogglebox," tweeted one.

"OH MY GOD PETE IS GOING TO BE A DAD!!! #Gogglebox," a third screamed.

It's the second big announcement from Pete after he low-key announced that he was engaged to Paige at the start of the current series of Gogglebox.

He was asked by sister and Channel 4 co-star Sophie about the upcoming nuptials during the first episode a few weeks back, asking: "Do you feel any different now you’ve got engaged?"

To which Pete replied: "Yeah I feel like an even bigger sense of responsibility I don’t know why."

Pete caused quite the stir when the pair shared their first photo on social media back in October, with Pete writing at the time: "My Mrs and best mate what more could I ask for, don't worry @sophiesandiford1 you are a close second best friend."
