’15 and a half years wasn’t long enough, you were and always will be a big part of our lives. 

‘The most chilled, cuddly and beautiful boy who made us a family right back at the beginning.

Baasit and Raza shocked audiences when they casually mentioned their mother. 

Nasreen, 69, has long since been pondered about by fans, but has never made an appearance.

After years of speculation, she was asked by the MailOnline in 2016 if she would ever appear.

Nasreen replied: ‘Oh, no, it’s not something for me. I don’t speak very good English and I’m very shy.

‘It’s best left to the boys. You won’t get me on the TV.’

Gogglebox airs on Channel 4 and is available to stream on channel4.com.
