Meet mum... Gogglebox star puts Nasreen in limelight for once
A RARE photo of the mother of a Gogglebox star from Derby has been shared on Instagram, leaving his followers wanting more.
Baasit Siddiqui and his brother Umar have become firm favourites with viewers, alongside father Sid, as they review shows from the week’s TV
Baasit posted a photo of his dad Sid and daughter Amelia along with his mum, Nasreen, who is never seen on screen in the Channel 4 show.
Now fans of the family, from Derby, want them to make room on the sofa for Nasreen after her appearance on Instagram.
Baasit wrote alongside the snap, in which his mum is posing with her husband and granddaughter: “I was trying to get a photo of all three of these guys staring at the camera and smiling! Dad is like a statue with that smile but Mum and Amelia were doing it on purpose.”
He continued: “Each time one of them would smile the other would look the other way or swap!
“The Siddiqui ladies are a stubborn and cheeky bunch.”
The photos were certainly a hit with their 5,900 followers, with one fan commenting: “Love these pics. Especially the one where your mum is smiling.”
Another added: “Your mam is adorable. First time I’ve seen her and don’t want to even mention your handsome dad. Love your little family.”
It is not the first time that Nasreen has been on social media as she also spoke out in support of her sons in 2016, after they got in trouble over a joke.
The cheeky brothers were dressed up in camouflage for a paintballing session and posted a snap s on Facebook with the caption: c “ISIS training day, d look how happy we w look!”
Despite it being a joke, they faced a huge backlash at the time and it brought Nasreen to comment in their defence, after she felt the criticism had gone too far.
She wrote at the time: ““They are very silly boys! It was only meant as a bit of fun but it’s backfired.”
Nasreen blamed the prank on her middle son, Raza, writing: “Most of the time he is a very good boy but sometimes he’s a little naughty. “He’s always saying funny things but doesn’t want to offend anyone.” The police were called in to investigate the post, though no action was taken. Nasreen said afterwards: “I can see why the words caused a problem. They weren’t thinking. It was meant to be fun but it was foolish. They’ve said sorry.”
Love these pics. Especially the one where your mum is smiling.
