Gogglebox’s Siddiqui family share personal update and fans can’t believe it

The Siddiqui family from Gogglebox have been showered with well-wishes as they announced a special family milestone. Sid, Baasit, Raza and Umar, who’ve been sharing their TV critiques on the hit Channel 4 show since its inception in 2013, often give fans a glimpse into their off-screen lives via Instagram.

Yesterday, the family took to the platform to celebrate a significant occasion – their dad, Sid, has hit the big 8-0. They posted a montage of the birthday festivities, writing: “Happy 80th Birthday to the main man himself @sidsiddiqui38. Lots of fun getting together with the family for a birthday lunch to celebrate. 1) A video to show exactly why we love dad so much…he sent this to the family group chat this morning. 2)Why Amelia’s message is his favourite. A home made birthday cake by the best baker we know (brother in law – Simon) it went down a treat! ! All hands on deck to add the candles….we opted for 8 instead of 80.”

It comes after Gogglebox star Izzi Warner stunned her fans last year by revealing she’s single. While cosy on the sofa with sister Ellie on an episode, Izzy announced that she called it quits with her long-term partner Grant, whom she’d been with for years.

The pair have two kids, Bobby and Bessie Rose, but they went their separate ways 18 months ago. Izzi got candid about the split and laid out her very own ‘Mary Poppins’ list of the qualities she wants in her next romance – from essentials like being kind-hearted and having a squeaky-clean police record to nice perks like owning a great car and whipping up tasty meals.

She fired off her wishlist after sister Ellie nudged her for details, saying: “My partner who is practically perfect in every way, do you want to hear it? It’s quite extensive.”

“I’ve separated it into essentials and nice-to-haves. So on the essentials we’ve got: hardworking, open-minded, kind, attractive, good with money, clean criminal record, zero drugs police/no drink problem, emotional intelligence, full head of hair, patient, discreet, loyal, supports my hobbies, wants to be my plus one,” she revealed, according to Birmingham Live. “And then nice to haves: nice teeth, nice car, generous, good style, taller than me, cooks nice dinners. So hence why I’ve been single for the last 18 months.”
