Gogglebox fans pledge support to Pete Sandiford as he tears up during show

Gogglebox fans rushed to support one of the show's stars after he broke down in tears on the show. Pete Sandiford teared up during Friday’s (May 20) episode of the show as he and his sister Sophie watched a touching episode of The Repair Shop.

The siblings from Blackpool tuned into the particularly poignant showing which featured a piece of history from World War Two, as reported by OK. The dad of one, 26, teared up during the episode as fans flocked to social media to say they would also be "sobbing like him".

Pete and Sophie watched as Gary Fisher brought the hosts of The Repair Shop a Jewish prayer book owned by his grandparents, Emanuel and Gisela. Gary's grandparents had been unable to flee Austria after it was annexed by Germany in 1938 and were sent to Theresienstadt concentration camp in Czechoslovakia during the Second World War.
