The Siddiqui family, known for their presence on the popular show Gogglebox, has experienced a mix of highs and lows over the past year outside of the program.

Joining the show’s inaugural season back in 2013, the beloved Siddiqui family from Derby, comprising Baasit and his brothers Umar and Raza, along with their father Sid, quickly became fan favorites.

Despite their popularity, the family endured difficult times in the last year, including the passing of their cherished cat Poppy in September 2025. The family shared a heartfelt post on Instagram mourning the loss, receiving an outpouring of sympathy from their followers.

In October 2025, Baasit and his wife Mel celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary, marking a significant milestone in their relationship. The couple, who are parents to Amelia and Theodore, expressed their love and gratitude on social media.

In February 2026, the Siddiquis revealed that Raza had been hospitalized due to a fall resulting in cracked ribs. They assured fans of his steady recovery and expected his return to the show soon, thanking everyone for their well-wishes and support.

Recently, the family commemorated Sid’s 81st birthday with a special post on Instagram, sharing memories and warm wishes for the patriarch. Supporters flooded the comments section with messages of love and good wishes for Sid.

Fans can catch the Siddiqui family and others on Gogglebox every Friday at 9 pm on Channel 4.
