The couple first started dating back in 2022 and only recently Sophie revealed her brother Pete’s first words to Ben on an episode of Gogglebox.
Sophie recalled: “You, first time meeting him ‘oh, I thought you’d be taller,’ as you looked up at him. And then saying ‘I thought you were at least 6ft’ when he is 6ft.”

To which Pete protested: “He doesn’t look 6ft!”, adding: “Lies, already built on lies!”
This prompted Sophie to quip in respond: “Just because he makes you look like one of the Borrowers!”
It comes as the couple recently celebrated their three-year anniversary.
Back in April, Sophie shared a picture of Ben, writing: “Best 3 years ever @benmckeown9” with a heart emoji.
Gogglebox continues on Friday nights at 9pm on Channel 4.
