Gogglebox has just lost one of its funniest characters, as Sandra Martin has decided to leave after four years.

Best known for her double act with best mate Sandi – who left last year – she made us all laugh with her TV commentary and infectious personality.

Sandra popped into This Morning today (July 19) to reveal the bad news, but said she fancied doing new things.

"Well, yeah, I am going to miss it, but I decided at that time I wanted to move on to other things," she explained.

"It's four and a half years now, and I'm just moving on, keeping up with the times."

She continued: "Sandi left last year as everyone knows, she's my TV partner, and my daughter came on after.

"I want to pursue my career to do other things, Sandi had gone before, but it wouldn't have been the same with my daughter."

She also admitted it didn't feel quite right watching the telly with her daughter, as it got a bit awkward.

"There are certain subjects that I can't discuss with a 24-year-old," she said.

"There are certain subjects and when we are watching a show about 'ooh-ohh', it's difficult for me to talk about 'ooh-ooh' with my daughter."

Fans were pretty gutted with her decision, with one fan saying "it will never be the same".

Though some reckon she's leaving because she might have another job lined up...

Is the professional telly watcher going to let us see even more of her personality on Celebrity Big Brother? Watch this space.

Gogglebox airs on Channel 4.
