Sandra Martin is an English television personality, known for appearing on Channel 4 programme Gogglebox between 2013 and 2017.

Life and career

Martin is from Brixton, London. In 1984, she served six months in prison after being convicted of fraud. In 2013, Martin was living off benefits when she was approached in a pub by a Channel 4 production member to become a cast member on the reality programme Gogglebox, and when asked if there was anyone who could appear alongside her, she suggested her friend Sandi Bogle. After Bogle left the show after eight series in 2016, Martin was joined alongside her daughter Chanchez for the ninth series. Martin announced her departure from the show in July 2017.

In March 2018, Martin appeared on the ITV series 100 Years Younger in 21 Days. The programme followed celebrities as they underwent various procedures and activities over the course of a week in an attempt to reverse ageing. In October 2018, she appeared on a celebrity edition of First Dates. Since appearing on television, Martin has continued to rely on benefits, and has had spates of homelessness in recent years.
