Gogglebox's Sophie and Pete Sandiford make 'sacrifice' for fans

Gogglebox's Sophie and Pete Sandiford are firm favourites among fans of the show.

So it's no surprise they were back on their sofas last Friday for the start of series 17 of the Channel 4 hit.

But fans of Gogglebox never miss a thing, and it has left the Blackpool-based siblings having to make a 'sacrifice'.

Viewers are very much aware of Pete and Sophie's novelty mug collection with fans obsessing over the small detail each week.

Now, Sophie has revealed that the themed mug collection is beginning to take over the kitchen.

Sharing a snap of her cupboard overflowing with bear, pug and rhino mugs to Instagram, the 24-year-old said: "Another cupboard sacrificed for the mug collection... who needs food cupboards anyway."

And the post has attracted quite the attention.

First Dates barman Merlin Griffiths emphasised, writing: "Love it. I have the same problem. Several boxes of mugs in the shed collected from countries and places visited over the years. Scores of them now!"

"Cupboard goals," Gogglebox co-star Izzi Warner added.

Fans also had their say in the comments section as it finally all made sense.

"This is why they always have a different mug, bloody over flowing," one commented.

Another said: "the mug cupboard!!!!" alongside a series of shocked face emojis.

"The famous mugs!!" a third added.

A fourth wrote: "Omg I always notice all kinds of mugs in your hands! Makes sense now."

And it sounds like they're setting a trend with another commenting: "My daughter has a large collection now after seeing your cups lol."
