EXPLAINED: Gogglebox star sid siddiqui supported by concerned fans as he doesn t feel safe | Rare Historical Photos

Gogglebox star Sid Siddiqui has opened up and told fans he ‘doesn’t feel safe’ in a concerning update.

The Siddiquis have been on Gogglebox since it launched back in 2013. Baasit, Umar and their dad Sid are much-loved by viewers, while third brother Raza also often puts in an appearance. Retired engineer Sid, 75, rarely posts on social media but has taken to Twitter for a worrying update.

Sid said: “This morning I waited 1 hour 55 mins in a telephone queue at my GP surgery, only to be told there are no appointments left for the day and I should start again tomorrow at 8. I don’t feel safe and protected under NHS anymore.”
