Before Gogglebox and famous friends
Pete and Sophie might have been scouted for Gogglebox after starring in two adverts for Talk Talk's This Stuff Matters campaign, with Pete's face even appearing on billboards! The pair have also known the 'Chuckle Brothers' Barry and Paul, and Sophie paid a sweet tribute to Barry following his sad death in 2018.

You will be sadly missed by many. Rest in peace Uncle Barry. Lots of love from me, to you."
