Gogglebox star Pete Sandiford has revealed he married his girlfriend Paige Yeomans in a secret ceremony.

The TV personality, 26, confirmed the happy news at the star-studded National Television Awards on Thursday which he attended with his sister and Gogglebox co-star Sophie Sandiford.

He also revealed he had become a father first time after Ms Yeomans gave birth to their baby boy.

Sandiford told OK!: “I’m married now! It was nerve-wracking but the best day of my life. Well, second best day as I’m a dad now, too.

“I’m buzzing [to be at the NTAs] as I got a full night’s sleep in a hotel so I’m well happy.”

Speaking at the awards ceremony at the 02 about being a father, the Channel 4 personality said: “It’s a bit overwhelming, got it all going on at the moment!

“He’s cool little lad, takes after his mum not me!”

He added jokingly: “I’ve been up all night, I slept on the train here - got suitcases under my eyes, you just got me at a good time now.”

The TV star dropped the baby bombshell by showing his sister Sophie the baby scan on his phone during an episode of Gogglebox.

Sharing his excitement, he told Sophie she was going to be an aunt as he presented her with the images.

He told her: “Here we go, look at this!”

Pete said to his sister: “Innit mad? I am actually going to be a dad to somebody.”

“Crazy. Life’s coming at you fast,” Sophie replied.
