‘Comedy gold!’ Gogglebox fans in stitches as Sophie and Pete Sandiford ring Boris Johnson’s number only to hilariously panic when he ‘answers’

Gogglebox viewers were left in stitches on Friday night when siblings Sophie and Pete Sandiford rung Prime Minister Boris Johnson‘s number – only to panic when he actually ‘answered’.

The duo were left intrigued after watching a report which stated that the PM’s personal phone number had been available publicly online for over 15 years and decided to give the politician a ring.

But the pair got more than the bargained for when a voice on the other end responded causing them to abruptly hang up, much to the joy of fans, with one branding the scene ‘comedy gold’. 

Funny: Gogglebox viewers were left in stitches on Friday night when siblings Sophie and Pete Sandiford rung Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s number – only to panic when he actually ‘answered’

The Channel 4 show saw TV favourite Ellie Warner give the number a go, only to received an automated response informing her the phone was switched off – with the news report stating that this was the usual occurrence for callers.

But Sophie and Pete were left astounded as when Sophie dialled the number, it actually rang, with her brother urging her to ‘hang up, hang up’, adding: ‘If he answered, we’re f***ed!’

The pair were then horrified as the call connected and an unknown male voice was heard on the line, with Sophie hilariously flinging the phone at Pete in a panic.

The dad-to-be, looking petrified, then rushed to hang up the phone, with his hands shaking in the process.

As Sophie burst out laughing, Pete asked ‘who was it?’, with his sister responding ‘I have no idea’ before going on to block the number.

Fearing the repercussions of their actions, Pete then warned: ‘MI5 are gonna be around here in a minute, and we’re gonna be in the back of a van!’ 

Oh dear! But the pair got more than the bargained for when a voice on the other end responded causing them to abruptly hang up, much to the joy of fans, with one branding the scene 'comedy gold'
