Gogglebox stars take on epic Quality Street challenge

Gogglebox star Sid Siddiqui has shared a Quality Street challenge he has undertaken with his family as they spend time together between Christmas and New Year.

The Siddiquis have been on Gogglebox since it launched back in 2013. Baasit, Umar and their dad Sid are much-loved by viewers, while third brother Raza also often puts in an appearance.

Sid is a retired engineer, who has been married to wife Nasreen for 38 years. The 75-year-old is not as prolific on social media as other Gogglebox stars.

But Sid's Instagram page is well worth a follow, according to fans. Last year fans gushed over his "wholesome" account.

One viewer tweeted : "Nooo Sid Siddiqui's Instagram account is the most wholesome thing I've ever seen. You need to follow him!" To which another replied: "Just adorable." A third said: "This is so cute"

On Monday, the grandfather shared a video on his Instagram story. In the clip, a number of tubs of Quality Street could be seen on the carpeted floor.

Son Raza was in the shot, and he appeared to be sorting the chocolates into colour and flavour, so that each tub contained only one type of chocolate.

Sid said: "Oh my goodness, look at that." Raza said: "You're supposed to be helping me, Dad". Sid replied: "Eh? I'm supposed to be helping you? Okay I will".

A determined Raza said: "We're nearly there. You can do the toffy pennies".
