GOGGLEBOX star Pete Sandiford got a special birthday wish from his uncle Paul Chuckle as he celebrated his birthday this week.
The 27-year-old recently let on about his special day as he posted a picture with his newborn son, who Channel 4 viewers recently learnt was called Jimmy.
Tagging in his sister and co-star Sophie and new wife Paige he wrote: “Jimmy wishing his daddy a happy birthday 
.”
But far from a delighted child, the tot looked furiously unhappy in the picture, which showed a laughing Pete standing in a bathroom.
Paul, 74, who is great uncle to the Gogglebox stars, wrote: “Fancy frightening little Jimmy on your birthday 
.
“Happy birthday mate have a good un 
x.”
The comedy veteran, whose real name is Paul Elliott, revealed they were related by posing for a picture three years ago, writing: “This day 2018 with my great niece and nephew.”
He also described himself as a “proud uncle” to the pair in another photo posted a few months later.
Paul and his little brother Barry were among the biggest names in children’s TV for decades until his death in 2018 as The Chuckle Brothers.
Sophie paid tribute to her beloved great uncle after his death in August 2018.
She called him “a truly lovely and funny man to be around” writing: “You filled millions of childhoods with laughter and entertainment including mine and Peters.
“You will be sadly missed by many. Rest in peace Uncle Barry. Lots of love from me, to you.”
Sophie and Pete have also joined the family business of making people laugh, though in a less child-friendly way with their sweary remarks while watching shows on Gogglebox.
Many of Pete’s co-stars sent birthday wishes in recent days, with Ellie Warner writing: “Happy birthday daddy cool!
.”
Daniel Lustig added: “Happy birthday mate x.”
Katie Price’s ex Kris Boyson also joined in writing: “Happy Birthday you funny f**ker! 
.”
