Jenny and Lee always appear together from their caravan site in Hull, but although the pair often get mistaken for partners, they are in fact just friends. Jenny has a husband called Ray, who doesn’t feature on the show, and Lee’s partner of 26 years, Stephen only made a brief cameo once.

Pete Sandiford, who appears on screen with his sister Sophie, is married to Paige Yeomans, and he proudly wore his wedding ring at the NTAs.

Backstage at the show, Pete also touched on the other happy news that he has recently become a father for the first time. "It's a bit overwhelming, got it all going on at the moment!," he explained, adding: "I've been up all night, I slept on the train here - got suitcases under my eyes, you just got me at a good time now."

Baasit Siddiqui appears on the show with his father Sid and brother Umar, and he often speaks about his children Amelia and Theodore. They do not feature on screen, and nor does his wife Melissa.

Late last year Baasit used his family Instagram (@thesiddiquis) to mark eight years of marriage with throwback wedding snaps. Alongside two photographs from the day, and a picture of them with their children, Baasit wrote: "Wow! I can’t believe me and @melissasiddiqui have been married for eight years!
