What have Sandi and Sandra been up to since leaving the show?
Sandi left Gogglebox ahead of Sandra in 2016 in order to pursue other opportunities. She told The Sun at the time: "Me and Sandra were best friends long before Gogglebox and we always will be, simple as. We come as a pair. We can go off and do our own thing but in the end it’s always the two of us and we will do more things together in the future."

The former cast member went on to star in Celebrity Big Brother series 20 back in 2017, and also released her debut single, Casanova, back in 2016 - impressive!

The star often keeps her fans updated on her life via Twitter, and recently confirmed the very sad news that several of her family members had passed away due to COVID-19, including her sister-in-law.
Speaking to Metro, she said: "When I found out I started to cry and my daughter told me to pack my bags so I am staying with her in Brixton at the moment. My friend’s dad died first, then my brother’s wife died, my uncle died and my good friend from Brixton died, it is all so tragic. What is going on?
"I know some people are doing the right thing and only going out if necessary but people will keep dying if they don’t listen."
