Sandi Bogle and Sandra Martin appeared on Gogglebox between 2013 and 2016 – and quickly became firm favourites.
After leaving the show, Sandi appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2017.
During her stint on the programme, she revealed she had a mega-famous cousin in the form of supermodel Naomi Campbell.
“Naomi is my cousin, her mother is related to my mother, so yeah, family,” she said.
Sandi also opened up about her relationship with Naomi in 2023 and told The Sun: “I am Naomi’s first cousin and yes we do talk to her and see each other.”
Sandi continued: “We do get together and have since we were kids. If there’s a celebration or something like a wedding we’ll get phone calls and we’ll go.
“At the end of the day it’s a family thing isn’t it. I’ve met her daughter, yes. At the end of the day she’s Naomi and I’m Sandi and it’s a family thing.”
