Gogglebox star who quit show now in Spain after fans' generosity

Former Gogglebox star Sandra Martin has shared some photographs from Spain after being treated by her fans.

The 59-year-old was an original member of the popular Channel 4 programme's cast with Sandi Bogle.

The reality TV star provided hilarious commentary on the week's best television with her best friend up until Sandi exited the programme in 2016.

Sandra appeared on Gogglebox for one more season alongside her daughter before she quit the show at the end of series.

She has now revealed she is sunning herself in Benidorm, after fans "sent her a free holiday".

In a series of tweets, Sandra has shared her journey, including snaps from the airport, a nightclub, and her hotel balcony.

Earlier this week, Sandra told followers she was off for a "Hollywood holiday".

On Tuesday she posted a photo of herself wearing a blue swimsuit and a Union Jack hat, and said: "Thanks to my fans who gave me a free holiday in Benidorm".

Her Twitter followers have passed on many well wishes.

Emma_Sparkles23 said: "Morning Sandra, have a blessed day"

AmazzinRosey said: "Have a nice holiday"

Lisa75Lisa75 said: "Ohh I'm jealous, I love Benidorm. Have a great time".

As well as Gogglebox, Sandra has also appeared on programmes such as 100 Years Younger In 21 Days and Britain's Got Talent.

Last year, the star responded to fans who asked why she left the Channel 4 hit show.

Sandra tweeted : "After Sandi left I missed her so much."

She continued: "Plus it was a contract show.

"You can't do certain shows like Big Brother if you're on Gogglebox.

"Anyway, I'm happy. 5 years on the sofa was good enough."
