Gogglebox star Pete Sandiford has opened up about the rather awkward first date he ever went on with now wife, Paige.
The 27-year-old TV star has been married to Paige since May last year – and together the couple welcomed a son named Jimmy in September last year.
Gogglebox returned to Channel 4 on Friday night with the first episode in season 19 of the hit and award winning reality show – with many cast favourites returning to review the week in TV.
Pete and his sister Sophie Sandiford were back on their sofas to join in the fun – but viewers were also treated to some background information about the star.
During the course of the episode, Pete reflected on his relationship with his wife – casting his mind all the way back to their very first ever date.
He revealed: “It got quite awkward actually our first date when me and Paige went.
“We were in a bar in London, and I bought this bloke a beer, which in London, you don’t seem to buy anyone a drink
“It was like he was my best friend, he didn’t leave us alone, so he was with us for our whole date!”

Paige has never featured on Gogglebox herself, but her and Pete’s baby, Jimmy, has occasionally appeared on the show alongside his dad.
Speaking about his marriage and fatherhood to OK! recently, Pete said while attending the National Television Awards: “I’m married now! It was nerve-wracking but the best day of my life. Well, second-best day as I’m a dad now, too.
“I’m buzzing [to be at the NTAs] as I got a full night’s sleep in a hotel so I’m well happy.”
He continued: “[Being a dad is] tiring. The lack of sleep is not cool but it’s definitely worth it.
“He’s basically a miniature version of me and Paige and that’s what I always wanted so I feel well lucky.”
He also recently opened up about the pressures fatherhood had put on him and how having a little baby had disrupted his usually blissful sleep.
Pete said: "It's a bit overwhelming, got it all going on at the moment!"
"I’ve been up all night, I slept on the train here - got suitcases under my eyes, you just got me at a good time now."
And late last year, Pete shared a few of the photos from his wedding day – much to the delight of fans.
Uploading a snap of himself looking dapper in a suit and walking alongside Paige who stunned in a pristine white dress, Pete wrote last November: "Happy 6 month wedding anniversary to my best mate, wife and the best mummy in the world."
Fans gushed over the snap – with one writing in the comment’s section: “Fabulous picture .. love and congratulations to you both.”
And another typed: “Happy Anniversary to you both. Such an amazing couple.”
Gogglebox airs on Channel 4 on Friday nights at 9pm.
