Gogglebox star Andrew has become a firm favourite since joining the show in 2025, but what do we know about his life away from the sofa?
Andrew and Alfie: A Modern Love Story
Andrew made his debut on the programme in its 26th series alongside his husband Alfie. The married couple, who reside in the Cotswolds, quickly captivated viewers with their witty remarks and playful banter.
Off-screen, Andrew and Alfie keep their loyal legion of combined 50,000 Instagram followers updated on their everyday lives through regular posts and stories.
Family Reactions to the Age-Gap Romance
The pair, who share a 30-year age difference, tied the knot in May 2024. Their wedding was a picturesque affair held in Italy, attended by close friends and family.
In a recent Instagram Q&A, the couple addressed questions about their age gap. Alfie revealed: “Well it was slightly different for me and you because you were already openly gay. I was coming out as gay and telling people.”
Andrew then interjected: “But my mother did turn around to me didn’t she and said that if I went out with somebody or marry someone under 30 she would,” before the video bleeped out the rest of his sentence.
Alfie quipped: “Luckily I just hit that threshold. My mum was very supportive. My father was very shocked and upset and he didn’t speak to me for an entire year.” Referring to Andrew, Alfie added: “You were the same age as him. Luckily we moved past that one.”
Andrew’s Hollywood Friendship
It turns out Andrew is rather pally with a major Hollywood star. In March, Andrew uploaded a photo on Instagram of him and Alfie posing alongside actress Rose McGowan.
Rose has appeared in several Hollywood films and TV shows, including Jawbreaker and the horror movie Scream. She also played Paige Matthews in the supernatural drama series Charmed from 2001 to 2006.
In the comments section, Rose explained their friendship: “Andrew and I met on a beach. Been through joy, tragedy, joy again. Love him and delighted to get to meet Alfie. When I saw him on Gogglebox I was floored. Had to find him again. So happy we've reconnected.”
Alfie added: “They both lived in Mexico for three or four years... honestly there is rarely a day I'm surprised by something @andrewdnicolls says.”
Andrew and Alfie’s ‘Child’
Fans of Andrew and Alfie will also know that the couple are proud dog parents to a beloved pup named Perkins. The dog has made several appearances on the Channel 4 show.
What’s more, the pair have set up their dog’s own Instagram account, where they share updates from the four-legged friend’s life. In September, they posted a photo of Perkins looking adorable on their “daddies’” sofa.
The post was captioned: “Always loved being on the sofa. Now bringing cuteness to your TV screens every Friday at 9pm on @c4gogglebox with my daddies @andrewdnicolls & @sam.alfie.mulhall.”
Gogglebox airs every Friday at 9pm on Channel 4.
