Gogglebox star Sophie Sandiford shares important life news and fans are delighted for her

Sophie Sandiford has shared some good news after she lost her job at Debenhams last year.

The Gogglebox favourite worked as a window dresser for the department store chain before it went into administration.

On Friday night's episode of the Channel Four armchair analysis show, a jubilant Sophie wore a cap and gown as she announced an exciting career update alongside her big brother Pete, reports the Mirror.

She revealed: "I've passed my floristry exam!"

Pere teased her saying "it was an online course" and added "it's not even a qualification!"

But Sophie proudly pointed out that she'll be getting a certificate in the post and told Pete: "Listen, I'm gonna do a full photo shoot with this."

"You've actually bought that haven't you?" he asked.

"I have, yeah. £26.99," Sophie admitted.

"This means you've graduated," she told him.

And she joked that she'll be putting letters after her name now.

"And don't be coming at me just because I've got qualifications now Peter. You know, I've not changed but I will if I have to! I might put some letters after my name!" she quipped.

"That cap and gown suits Sophie," said one fan on Twitter.

And another said: "Sophie, yes! I FULLY support buying yourself a cap and gown for passing your floristry exam, or any exam, in anything ever."

Sophie and Pete have appeared on Gogglebox together since 2017 and they were recently joined on the new series by his baby boy.

Last month Pete revealed on the red carpet at the National Television Awards that he had become a dad.

He announced on the show back in April that he was expecting a baby with his partner Paige Yeomans.

And he also revealed that the new parents got married in a secret ceremony during the summer.

This week Pete melted hearts again when he shared a snap of himself on Instagram holding his adorable pet corgi Colin.

The Sandifords also have famous connections because they are the great-nephew and great-niece of Chuckle Brothers Paul and Barry.
