Gogglebox’s Sandra ‘blames’ show for being single and reveals she’s on the hunt for a new man
Sandra Martin is not happy about being single after accusing boyfriend Derek of cheating
GOGGLEBOX’s Sandra Martin has revealed her newfound fame has ruined her love life.
The 54-year-old reality star lashed out at the Channel 4 show while announcing she's on the hunt for a new man.
The Gogglebox star split from long term boyfriend Derek in July amid claims he’d “cheated” on her.
Taking to Twitter on Wednesday, she wrote: “Wat a BLOODY tragedy.
“All my life i always in a SOLID RELATIONSHIP and not blaming GOGGLEBOX SHOW. But since i become a tv critic.#noman.”
Continuing her rant, Sandra said: “And forget DATING SITES.
“I seem to get the ones dat JUST AINT GOT THE DRIVE I WANT...oh please.
“I been there got tshirts...NEED SECURITY.”
In July the reality star turned to Jeremy Kyle for relationship advice.
The 54-year-old reached out to the daytime television host after dumping her boyfriend of 10 years, Derek, amid cheating allegations.
As she accosted Jeremy in a corridor, Sandra revealed: “My boyfriend was cheating on me so I got rid of him. I’m 54 and my boyfriend has left me, right?”
Discussing in detail exactly what happened between the pair, Sandra added: “What happened was he came to my house to fix my laptop and then a phone call came and he took the phone outside to talk to another woman.
"Then when I went to say to him: ‘What you doing?’ He told me to shush so I gave him a Gogglebox karate.
“What do I do though? I’ve been with him for 10 years… do I go for another man?
Quickly trying to escape, Jeremy mutters: “Go to Big Brother,” before fleeing from the reality star with a smile on his face.
Just one month ago Sandra penned an emotional post revealing she’d been inspired to make the most of life following a conversation with her three grandchildren – and decided to give Derek another chance.
Baring her heart to her 117,000 followers, Sandra wrote: “As I was doing my daily SELFIES, everyone said to me is dis de famous Derek?
"Dats why he usually sits in car…cos Derek is a shy guy.
"Anyway, I know I always leaving him… It’s me hormones..but now… I can’t be ask… we r nearly both 55 soon… life to short 2 mek up and break up.
“One of my mate TENOR FLY an ARTIST sadly past away yesterday and I was upset.
"I hear my grandchild… Grandma everyone keep on dying everyday???
"I just said to dem, yes grandkids. Life is like dat am afraid..we born den we die. Well, eventually. Wen de GOD FATHER CALLS US (sic).”
When a fan then demanded Sandra gets Derek on the sofa with her during the next series of Gogglebox, she replied: “Remember SILENT JAY?
"Dats how Derek is..trust me no word of a lie..I do all the talking in our relationship. You get me?”
Derek and Sandra’s on/off relationship has hit the headlines multiple times since she found fame on the BAFTA winning show in 2013.
After several years together, Sandra proposed to her man on New Years Eve in 2014, revealing: “Congratulations is in order, sandragogglebox is officially ingaged to derekgogglebox he did not say yes but kept on smiling wen I gave he a ringandting and said would you marry me,
