Gogglebox star Sophie Sandiford broke down in tears over the second national lockdown in tonight's episode of the hit reality show.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed the country would be entering a second national lockdown from Thursday, November 5 until December 2.

Pubs, restaurants and non-essential shops have once again been forced to close their doors and members of the public are ordered to stay at home for the next four weeks in a bid to bring down the spike in cases of coronavirus.

Sophie began to cry, saying the situation was "s*** for everyone" and expressing concern over people's jobs.

Brother Pete reached out to comfort her and said: "Don't cry kid, you'll set me off."

Viewers were similarly moved by Sophie's display of emotion and took to Twitter to share their thoughts.
