A beloved Gogglebox<\/a> star’s wife has been flooded with support after a “mum fail”.<\/p>\n

Baasit Siddiqui shot to fame when he appeared in the first series of the hit Channel 4<\/a> reality show back in 2013, along with several other family members.<\/p>\n

Over the years, Baasit has been joined on the sofa by his two brothers, Umar and Raza, as well as their father, Sid – who recently celebrated his 81st birthday<\/a>. Baasit’s mum, Nasreen, has not appeared on the show.<\/p>\n

The Derby-based family quickly became firm favourites with Gogglebox fans, known for their hilarious one-liners and comical takes on the latest TV shows and films.<\/p>\n

Away from the show, Baasit spends his life with wife Melissa. The couple, who got married in 2014, are parents to two children, Amelia and Theodore.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday (February 4), Mel shared an update with her Instagram<\/a> followers after she unexpectedly had to go and buy her son a new pair of school shoes.<\/p>\n

In a Reel with the words “mum fail” written across it, Mel explained: “So, Theodore decided to tell me this morning that his toes are curling up in his shoes. He said, ‘Oh, my toes are curled up like this [makes fist].’ Bad mum alert over here.”<\/p>\n

Mel then showed footage of her urgent trip to the shop to buy her son a new pair of shoes. “Secured the goods,” she confirmed, before sharing a photo of her celebratory coffee afterwards.<\/p>\n

The post’s caption read: “Today in a nutshell… why do kids like to throw curveballs like this? Why not tell me before today that they were a bit tight? How long has he been walking around with his toes curled.”<\/p>\n

Fans quickly shared their support in the comments section, with one person writing: “Please don’t feel bad Mel, you are a brilliant mum. My daughter walked around with the sole hanging off, she never said a word for weeks, they have far more important things to think about at their ages, bless.”<\/p>\n

Another fan reassured the star, saying: “Because the feet haven’t got to the brain yet… too much other stuff to deal with… he’d have got there in the end… but much later than you!!”<\/p>\n

Mel replied: “Kids really do make you laugh don’t they! Would love to know what’s going on in that head of his.”<\/p>\n

This comes after Baasit and Mel’s son, Theodore, celebrated a momentous moment when he lost his first tooth. Taking to Instagram earlier this week, Mel wrote: “Big moment for Theodore this weekend – he FINALLY lost his first tooth!! He been waiting so long bless him & Sunday was the day!<\/p>\n

“Amelia’s been in bed with the flu, bless her…so not as much of a fun weekend for her. Hope you’ve all had a lovely weekend? Monday let’s go.”<\/p>\n
