Hunky Irishman gets tongues wagging as he 'cosies up' to Gogglebox's Sophie Sandiford

Gogglebox fans had their eyes glued to social media at the weekend after star Sophie Sandiford shared a snap of herself and her brother attending a wedding with their rarely seen partners.

It was the first time Sophie was spotted with the mystery man, who many have speculated is her new beau.

The television personality, who has often joked about her dating life on the show, uploaded the picture looking cosy with the handsome hunk as she posed for the photo with brother Pete and his wife, Paige.

The mysterious man got many tongues wagging, and it has now been revealed that the man snapped in the pic is Irishman Ben McKeown.

In the snap, the Channel 4 star rocked a 70s-inspired dress and white heels for the event, while her boyfriend looked dapper in a white shirt, a pink tie, a navy vest and a patterned grey blazer.

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, who looked stunning in a dark purple slim-fitting dress.

"Congratulations Jack and Emma," she captioned the gorgeous photo.

Her great uncle, Paul Chuckle, loved the photo and took to the comment section to compliment the siblings.

"Looking good guys great to see you all yesterday with @juliejohnson31 @cunny246 to celebrate Jack and @emma_louuise_ wedding." he posted.

"You all look stunning but didn't look like that at end of the night [laughing emojis] xx."

Sophie responded: "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."

One fan was confused about who Sophie was posing with and questioned: "Is Sophie loved up?"

While another curious follower asked her: "Are you engaged?"

The Mirror has contacted the Gogglebox star's representative for comment.

Sophie previously spoke 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."

However, love seems to be in the air this time around, as, in September last year, Sophie's brother Pete married Paige Yeomans in a secret ceremony.

He confirmed the news at the National Television Awards.

Pete revealed soon after that he had become a dad for the first time after Paige gave birth to their baby boy.

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."

The TV favourite confirmed he'd proposed to Paige last February in an episode of Gogglebox.
