Gogglebox's Siddiqui family flooded with support after emotional post
Apr 9, 2025
The Siddiqui family have been flooded with support from Channel 4 fans after an emotional announcement.
Gogglebox icon Baasit Siddiqui has appeared on the show with his two brothers, Umar and Raza, as well as their father Sid, since it started back in 2013.
He shared an update last month and revealed on Instagram that, alongside his wife Melissa, he will be completing the London Marathon.
The London Marathon is set to take place on April 27 and will see 56,000 runners take on the race.
He wrote: 'I’ve had the privilege of experiencing running the @londonmarathon before but to have the opportunity to share this experience with my wife is very special!'
Baasit then went on to share how his wife stated running in January last year and that they would be supporting Mind Charity.
Offering an insight to his life away from the Gogglebox fame, he added: 'For over ten years I worked as a full time teacher and for the last five years I’ve worked across education with teachers, children and families.
'One thing that continues to be highlighted in all my work is the growing mental health crisis.
'The work Mind does to raise awareness and smash mental health stigmas has never been more important and I know how prevalent the crisis of mental health challenges is across the education landscape.
'Whether it’s teacher workload, social media challenges in children or parents mental health struggles due to the cost of living crisis - it’s clear to see people need help more than ever!
