Sandra Martin, beloved star of the hit show Gogglebox, has been on quite the adventure lately. Despite facing financial difficulties and relying on government assistance, Sandra has managed to travel to multiple destinations, including Amsterdam and Benidorm. And she's not stopping there - she's currently preparing for a sixth trip to Malta. But what's most surprising is that these trips were all funded by the kindness of strangers.
Living in temporary accommodation and surviving on Universal Credit, Sandra has not had the means to go on extravagant vacations. Yet, since Christmas Day, she has been on five holidays, all thanks to the generosity of fans of her show. In an interview with The Sun, she shared, "People gift these trips to me. It's a miracle really, they must have spent thousands of pounds on me." And why are they doing this? According to Sandra, it's because they love her and she brings them entertainment. Her large platform, social media presence, and interactions with fans have created a strong bond, leading to these amazing opportunities.
But it hasn't always been smooth sailing for Sandra. The 62-year-old has struggled with health issues and has not been able to work for the past two years. And even if she wanted to, her fame has made it difficult for her to get a regular job. She shared, "I get stopped every day. If I got a job in Tesco, the queue would be out of the door due to my fans, they wouldn't be able to cope." Despite these challenges, she remains grateful for the love and support of her fans, which has allowed her to continue living her life to the fullest.
Sandra's journey on Gogglebox began in 2013 and lasted until 2017 when she decided to explore other opportunities, including a stint on Celebrity Big Brother. Her departure caused rumors of a rift between her and her co-star Sandi Bogle, which Sandra denied, stating that the allegations caused her to suffer from panic attacks. She eventually found another friend to join her on Gogglebox, but when that didn't work out, she decided to continue the show with her daughter, Chanchez Martin. However, this came with its own challenges, such as not wanting to talk about certain topics, like sex, in front of her daughter.
Despite these obstacles, Sandra is grateful for the platform that Gogglebox has given her and the opportunities that have come from it. She eventually left the show in 2018, but continues to be thankful for the experience. Gogglebox is currently available to stream on Channel 4.
