Sandra appeared on Gogglebox for one more season alongside her daughter before she quit the show at the end of series
The TV star has now responded to calls from fans to return to explain why she left the show.
Sandra tweeted : "After Sandi left I missed her so much."
She continued: "Plus it was a contract show. You cant do certain shows like Big Brother if you're on Gogglebox."
The entertainment personality has taken advantage of being able to appear on other shows after Gogglebox to feature on Celebrity Frist Dates, Britain's Got Talent and 100 Years Younger.
However, Sandra continued to say she is delighted to have been a part of the show.
She added: "Anyway, I'm happy. 5 years on the sofa was good enough."
Sandra has since sent a follow-up tweet hitting back at a negative comment from a fan to give a career update.
Sandra said: "I left because life is godly on the other side. Just signed a contract with Now That's Entertainment working alongside Sam Bailey and many more top celebrities."
Gogglebox continues Friday at 9pm on Channel 4
