OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Gogglebox’ stalwart Sid Siddiqui is bombarded with ‘dirty’ selfie requests – when he is covered in mud at his local dump.
The patriarch, 74, who has been on the Channel 4 show with his sons Baasit, 35, and Umar, 42, since it started in 2013, added he is often left squirming watching sex-filled telly with his boys.
He told the Metro newspaper about fans’ selfie requests: “Most (of my) selfie requests are at the local tip. I am a frequent user.
“I am usually at my worst because you have been doing some building work or digging and you are covered in mud. They seem to find that quite an attractive photo shot of me. You can’t cater for all tastes, can you?”
Sid also admitted life can get “embarrassing” watching shows such as ‘Naked Attraction’ and films including ‘American Pie’ with his sons on the BAFTA Award-winning series.
He added: “The sad thing about ‘Naked Attraction’ is you can’t remember the faces of any of the people, but you do remember other things.
“Another embarrassing one was that film ‘American Pie’ a few years ago. I was expecting some sort of cake or pie to appear and that wasn’t the case. You can understand my embarrassment.
“We say, ‘Oh, we are pros. We are grown-ups. We’re OK.’ But it can get a bit hot under the collar.”
Sid also said watching nature shows has nearly “killed” him due to their heartbreaking scenes.
He said: “There was one with a mother elephant had to leave her baby behind. She needed to catch up with the rest of her herd and she’s couldn’t manage the baby as well. That really killed me almost.”
