Gogglebox star Raza Siddiqui was hospitalised after cracking his ribs in a horrific fall, his family have shared in an update. The Siddiqui family have become firm favourites in that time, but on Tuesday they took to Instagram to address Raza's absence so far this season. Sharing pictures from his hospital bed, the family confirmed that Raza is 'smashing' his recovery and is set to return to Gogglebox later in the series. Sweet snaps showed Raza cuddling with his nephew Theodore on the sofa, as well bravely smiling from his hospital bed. Last year, the Siddiqui family were flooded with support from Channel 4 fans after an emotional announcement.
