Gogglebox star Pete Sandiford has opened up about choosing baby names with his wife, Paige, and revealing a couple of potential baby names - do you like them? Chatting to his sister, Paige, in the hit Channel 4 show, he explained: “We’ve got this Tinder thing for baby names so if we match it pings up. You see, there’s so much to think about, even down to the initials, you’ve got to think of what the initials stand for. Mum didn’t do that with me and my initials are PNS.” 

Sophie replied: “There are some unusual ones on there, aren’t they? Eddie’s cute. Jimmy and Eddie.” Looking at the app, Pete said: “Hendrix? Sounds like a type of gin.”

His sister then chuckled, pointing out that that would mean his sons were called ‘Jimmy’ and ‘Hendrix’ and then mimicked a guitar being played. 

Laughing, Pete said: “We could actually couldn’t we! That’d be nuts.”

Pete and Sophie film the popular show Sophie's home and at one stage they were living together, but he has since clarified that he now has his own home with his wife Paige Sandiford (née Yeomans) and baby son Jimmy. During a recent episode, Pete was getting his sister Sophie to snap a passport photo for him, but after an unsuccessful attempt, he exclaimed that he would get Paige to do it when he got home, revealing that he doesn't stay at Sophie's place like he used to.

However, the siblings are very close, with Sophie once explaining how she moved in with the pair, telling Metro: “We live in the same house. Pete bought the house and did it up. I sneakily just pitched up with my stuff one day and said, I'm not going home'. That's how I moved in.

"Then I bought the house off Pete. So now we still live together but instead of me living with Pete, Pete lives with me." Pete added: "Yeah, weird, innit? It's almost like she had a plan moving in!"
