Gogglebox star left heartbroken after death of beloved sister
Legendary Gogglebox star Sandra Martin has been left devastated after announcing the death of her beloved sister.
Sandra, 61, who appeared on the show between 2013 and 2017, shared the sad news on her Twitter this week.
Sharing some memorable pictures with her sister, she wrote: “My sister Jennifer Richards has passed away… I LOVE YOU JEN.”
The Gogglebox star also posted another photo of the pair together, and added: “R.I.P JENNIFER RICHARDS.”
Sandra’s received heartfelt condolences from her fans
One person wrote: “So sorry to hear this. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.”
While another added: “So sorry to hear this Sandra, hope it was peaceful. God Bless you and your family.”
“So sorry for your loss what a beautiful soul rest in paradise beautiful,” wrote a third fan.
Someone else shared: “May your sister now rest in eternal peace.”
While another simply wrote: “Condolences Sandra.”
Sandra HAS suffered heartache long before
During the coronavirus pandemic, Sandra lost five people close to her and even expressed her grief when her sister-in-law’s daughter passed away back in April 2020.
She also lost her sister-in-law, uncle, and friend’s dad along with another friend in Brixton, during the coronavirus outbreak.
The devastated star told the Metro that she did have “underlying health conditions.”
She said: “When I found out I started to cry and my daughter told me to pack my bags so I am staying with her in Brixton at the moment.
My friend’s dad died first, then my brother’s wife died, my uncle died and my good friend from Brixton died, it is all so tragic. What is going on?” she added.
Days later she shared that her brother’s wife tragically lost her life to the respiratory disease, after being admitted to hospital for treatment.
She’s back on benefits
Most recently, Sandra admitted being “back on benefits” after leaving the show.
Speaking to The Sun, Sandra said “It was hard. I had a panic attack, thinking I was going to go back on benefits.”
But added that she didn’t want to be on the show to talk about sex in front of her daughter.
“I didn’t want to talk about sex in front of my daughter on the TV, and I was also getting a lot of backlash like, ‘Where’s Sandi? I could’ve stayed, they offered me real money, but [bleep] happens,” the star concluded.

I’m A Celebrity fans complain over ‘boring’ final
I’m A Celebrity concluded last night (December 8) with Danny Jones being crowned the King of the Jungle.
In the final alongside the McFly singer was Coleen Rooney, a fan favourite to win the 2024 series until last week. However, she came second.
Although the finale began with a spine-chilling Bushtucker Trial in which Coleen, Danny, and Rev Richards collected stars while surrounded by snakes, viewers found it dull and less entertaining than expected.
I’m A Celebrity 2024 finale
The coveted title was given to Danny after spending three weeks in the jungle. Hosts Ant and Dec said the final two contestants received a total of 10 million votes between them.
The I’m A Celebrity finale had a little bit of everything – interesting trials, final moments in the camp and one-on-one interviews with the finalists. The episode also had montages showing the highlights of the season.
Viewers waited with bated breath in anticipation of this year’s winner, only to be disappointed by “lengthy” interviews and endless “teasing”.
After the third finalist Richard spoke about his time in the jungle, Coleen and Danny met with the hosts to share their respective experiences.
The rest of the campmates joined the finalists before the winner was announced, which didn’t happen until the last four minutes of the final episode.
The finale ended soon after the winner of the 2023 series, Sam Thompson, crowned the new King.

Viewers were ‘bored’
Ahead of the announcement of the winner, one fan complained: “Final just being a bunch of interviews and montages. This is so boring man, just announce the winner already.”
“I’m knackered, can we wrap it up now?” asked another. A third fan said: “Can they get on with the reveal now? The droning on is driving me mad.”
Another added: “I’m A Celeb final is actually the most boring part of the whole show if I’m being honest.”
Despite complaints about an uninteresting finale from a few viewers, the overall series is met with positive reviews. One wrote on X: “A great series and a back to a series that I enjoyed watched after two bad years. Everyone was very genuine and it was nice to see everyone getting on.”
“Loved all the campmates this year but the final two felt a bit rigged. But a lot of people did love them so fair play; they just weren’t my choice. Great series though,” opined another.
The latest I’m A Celebrity series is available to stream on demand on ITV.

I’m A Celebrity star Barry McGuigan’s son Shane in hospital wearing cannula
I’m A Celebrity campmate Barry McGuigan’s son Shane revealed he’d been admitted to hospital last night (December 8) as the jungle series came to an end.
While Shane didn’t explain what was up, he posted a picture of himself wearing a cannula. He did write over the picture that it’s “one thing after another at the moment”.
Shane’s dad was one of the last contestants to leave the I’m A Celebrity jungle.
He departed with compatriot Maura Higgins – who Shane once dated – prompting calls for people living in Ireland to be able to vote for their favourite campmates.
Barry McGuigan’s son Shane in hospital
Shane McGuigan’s Instagram Story doesn’t contain much detail, but he certainly appears – or appeared – to be in hospital.
Wearing a white T-shirt and a stern expression, he posted a picture of himself wearing a cannula.
A cannula is a small, flexible tube that goes into a vein, often on the arm, to deliver fluids or medications or gather blood samples.
Above him in the picture are a pouch of clear fluid, the corner of a blue curtain and a white tiled ceiling, all of which give the impression that he is in a hospital.
Over the image, he wrote: “It’s one thing after another at the moment”.
Shane works as a boxing trainer and owns a gym in southwest London. Barry introduced him to the sport when he was a teenager.
Shane McGuigan once dated Maura Higgins
In a twist to this year’s I’m A Celebrity, Barry McGuigan’s campmate Maura Higgins used to date his son, Shane.
They met before her stint on Love Island, while she was working as a ring girl. Ring girls are common in boxing, kickboxing and mixed martial arts.
They enter the ring between rounds, carrying a sign that shows the number of the upcoming round. Maura was a ring girl for Anthony Joshua, among others.
When she met Tommy Fury on Love Island, she said to him: “You’re a boxer – you know I’m a ring girl? I’ve only been doing it like two years. Joshua. His last two or three fights in London.”
When she dated Shane, she was living in Ireland while he was running his gym in London.
Now, Shane is engaged to singer Taylor West. They have two sons together, Finley George and Caelan James.
