Gogglebox stars break down in tears as viewers are left weeping over emotional hospital scenes

GOGGLEBOX fans were in tears tonight seeing the cast break down weeping over emotional hospital scenes.

Show favourite Jenny Newby was sobbing and new dad Pete Sandiford welled up seeing a mother and daughter heading in for surgery at The Royal Free.

They showed an amazing clip of a mum giving her daughter a kidney from BBC Two's award-winning documentary Hospital, and it had everyone reaching for the tissues.

Jenny was the first to go, saying she was already on the donor register and would give her kids "anything".

She said: "I have given them everything, but I can't give them my eyes.

"I want to be able to see when I go to heaven."

Pete was also a mess after seeing the mother crying after her surgery, saying she felt that she had given her daughter "life again".

He said: "I would give anything to Jimmy."

Viewers also got emotional over the incredible scenes, and took to Twitter.

One said: "Emotional scene, i cried along with jenny #Gogglebox."

Another penned: "Watching #Gogglebox got me 🥲 The Mum giving her daughter her kidney. Blimey, there’s me crying thinking what a wonderful thing that is."

Pete confirmed that he'd welcomed his son at the National Television Awards in September, sharing at the time: "I’m a proud father.

"He’s a cool little lad. Takes after his mum. I slept on the train here, I’m so tired.”

His sister Sophie added: “I’m a very proud auntie.  I’m obsessed with him. I just keep saying Can I hold him can I feed him?” 

And it was later revealed that he'd secretly married fiancee Paige in an intimate ceremony before the birth.

He told  magazine: "I'm married now! It was nerve-wracking but the best day of my life. Well, second best day as I’m a dad now, too."
