Scarlett Moffatt was the stand-out star of Gogglebox, however, her time on the show came to an end when she signed up for I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in 2016.

Sandi and Sandra
Iconic duo Sandi and Sandra won viewers over with their constantly-changing hairstyles, exciting wardrobes, unusual TV snacks and even bigger personalities. Sadly, they decided to split up (on telly that is) and Sandra's daughter Chanchez replaced Sandi. Sandra then quit the show in 2017.
Sandi is a mother of two and grandmother of five, who previously owned some wine bars in South London and used to sing at the Tower in Blackpool with Larry Grayson. Sandra has four children and three grandchildren.
