GOGGLEBOX’s Sandi Bogle has left the Channel 4 hit show in order to pursue a singing career, according to reports.
Sandy on Gogglebox REPLACED by Sandra's daughter
The Brixton-based star, who appears on the show with best friend Sandra Martin, has been replaced by Sandra’s daughter, Chanchez.
A source told Mail Online: “We are delighted that Sandra's daughter Chanchez is to join the show next series. She's a great addition to the cast.
“Sandi has decided to leave the show to pursue her singing career and other opportunities and we wish her all the very best.”
Speculation about what happened to Sandi was rife after she failed to appear on last Friday’s episode.

Viewers were worried that the reason for her absence was that she had fallen out with Sandra.
At the time a show insider promised that Sandi would be back on the sofa soon.
“Sandi had other commitments which meant she was unable to take part in filming for tonight’s episode,” they explained to The Sun. “It's a real shame because it’s the 100th show and it would have been amazing to have a proper celebration.
“They are real characters and viewers love them together. Sandi will be back at a later date.”
