His sister Sophie, 23, gaped at Pete in bewilderment as he showed off his invention telling him, “you look like a deep sea diver”.

Pete replied: “I’m safe though aren’t I?”

The Gogglebox star then ordered Sophie to “cough at me”, but she refused instead saying “no, you cough at me”.

Pete coughed and said:”Have a bit of that.”

Sophie asked: “Can you even breathe in that?”

Pete confessed: “No it gets a bit hot in here.”

Viewers loved Pete’s makeshift mask and rushed to make their own.
