The much-loved siblings joined Gogglebox in 2017, and have been a huge hit ever since.
Reaping the rewards of his popularity, the Blackpool native has made sure that any money he’s made from the show hasn’t gone to waste.
He’s proved to be a shrewd businessman – especially when it comes to property.
The Sun can reveal how the TV star has recently opened up his own investment firm Corgi Real Estate.
He has also invested in a house in Fleetwood and an apartment in nearby Thornton-Cleveleys, each worth £80,000.
Pete has also capitalises on any earnings he makes from his TV career by setting up Corgi Media Ltd.
Nevertheless, the star’s daytime job isn’t just appearing on Gogglebox – which he’s only contracted to do 15 hours a week – but as a roofer and builder.
He’s got a business alongside a pal called TJ Joinery & Construction (NW) Ltd.
The firm is going along very nicely and in its first set of accounts filed a £88,475 profit.
Pete can’t quit his regular job as he gets just £1,500 for each episode of Gogglebox, which is split with Sophie, so it’s only right when he once said “I have got to pay my mortgage somehow.”
Pete and Sophie first appeared on their sofa – and bright yellow chair – in 2017 for the 10th season of Gogglebox.
They quickly became popular with fans of the show for their quick wit and hilarious interactions.
Aside from his humour, Pete won fans with his emotional side that he is never afraid to show.
The duo aren’t the only Sandiford siblings – they have another brother and sister called Harry and Lucy who do not appear on the show.
Despite his popularity on Gogglebox, Pete still finds fame peculiar.
“I am just a builder from Blackpool, so it is a bit strange when celebrities know us, ” he once said. “I was on a roof yesterday.”
