Gogglebox star Sophie Sandiford has sent fans into a frenzy after posting a picture on social media of her posing with a hunky mystery man.
In the photo posted on Instagram the TV star is seen smiling broadly alongside the mystery man, her brother Pete and his wife Paige, as they all attended a wedding last weekend.

In the photo the 24-year-old Channel 4 star is seen posing in a 70's-inspired dress and white heels while Ben looks dapper in a white shirt, a pink tie, a navy vest and a patterned grey blazer.
Meanwhile, Pete, 26, went for a more neutral colour as he donned a brown suit and white button-up top. He also wore black shoes as he posed with his wife Paige.
Sophie captioned the photo posted to her 570,000 Instagram followers: "Congratulations Jack and Emma." Her great uncle liked the image and commented: "Looking good guys great to see you all yesterday with @juliejohnson31 @cunny246 to celebrate Jack and @emma_louuise_ wedding. You all look stunning but didn’t look like that at end of the night [laughing emojis] xx."
Sophie replied: "Such a lovely day! See you all again soon, lots of love to you and auntie sue xx", to which Paul said: "fabulous day and so good to see you all again xx"
Sophie's post has so far received nearly 83,000 likes. And Ben's appearance in the photo has got fans confused, with one asking: "Is Sophie loved up?" While another curious follower questioned: "Are you engaged?"
Sophie has previously spoken about her love life in 2020, when she shared a picture of herself with a friend. When asked about 'romantic offers', she told Metro : "So no, definitely single. Nothing really going on."
In September last year, Pete married Paige Yeomans in a secret ceremony, later confirming the news at the National Television Awards, which he attended with Sophie.
Pete told OK!: "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 added: "[Being a dad is] tiring. The lack of sleep is not cool but it's definitely worth it."
Pete continued: "He's basically a miniature version of me and Paige and that's what I always wanted so I feel well lucky."
