Gogglebox<\/a>\u2019s Sophie Sandiford has shared some sweet snaps with her fianc\u00e9 as she celebrated the end of 2025.<\/p>\n

Sophie first joined the long-running Channel 4<\/a> show back in 2017 for series 10, along with brother Pete<\/a>. And it didn\u2019t take the siblings long to become firm favourites with viewers.<\/p>\n

Over the years, Pete and Sophie – who live in Blackpool – have had fans in stitches thanks to their witty banter and one-liners and comical takes on the telly highlights.<\/p>\n

Away from the TV show though, Pete is a building company boss and proud dad to two children. Meanwhile, Sophie is a florist and in October she got engaged to boyfriend of three years, Ben Mckeown<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sharing a picture surrounded by engagement balloons and snaps from luxury spa Galgorm Resort in Northern Ireland, the couple penned: “WE\u2019RE ENGAGED” with a heart and ring emoji.<\/p>\n

And on Wednesday (December 31) Sophie took to her Instagram<\/a> and uploaded several photos from the past 12 months – including selfies with her beau Ben.<\/p>\n

Sophie wrote in the caption: \u201cIt’s been some year – engaged, travelled, big birthdays, bridesmaid dislocated knee and so much more 2025 you’ve been a cracker.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sophie\u2019s followers were left gushing over the rare snaps, with one person writing in the comments section: \u201cAww lovely slides, seeing a bit of your life outside Gogglebox.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another chimed in: \u201cBeautiful photos happy new year to you both.\u201d A third penned: \u201cAwwee I absolutely so bloody love this<\/p>\n

@sophiesandiford1 brand new happiest of New Years to you and your now fianc\u00e9 soon to be your brand new husband.\u201d<\/p>\n

The couple first started dating back in 2022 and only recently Sophie revealed her brother Pete’s first words to Ben on an episode of Gogglebox.<\/p>\n

Sophie recalled: “You, first time meeting him ‘oh, I thought you\u2019d be taller,’ as you looked up at him. And then saying ‘I thought you were at least 6ft’ when he is 6ft.”<\/p>\n

To which Pete protested: “He doesn\u2019t look 6ft!”, adding: “Lies, already built on lies!” This prompted Sophie to quip in respond: “Just because he makes you look like one of the Borrowers!”<\/p>\n
