Ever wondered how much the stars of Gogglebox get paid? You’ll be surprised.
So The Sun has been doing some digging around and they’ve found out how much the stars of Gogglebox get paid.
It turns out that each family unit gets paid a monthly allowance of £1500 plus expenses to help pay for takeaways to help them through their filming sessions. They are able to split that £1500 in any way they wish.
According to the “Gogglebox insider” the stars are expected to commit to 12 hours of filming in two massive six-hour shifts. So Scarlett Moffatt, who is currently starring in I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here has to share £1500 with her two parents, meaning she gets £500 per month if they decide to split the sum equally.
If she’s required to watch 12 hours per week (48 hours per month) that means she’s paid £10.41 per hour.
Of course, stars are able to make money from endorsement deals, book deals, fitness DVDs and starring in other programmes thanks to the fame created by starring on the hit Channel 4 show.
Recently Stephen and Chris, dubbed fondly, the Gogglebox gays, have released their first book, We Need To Talk. We spoke to Chris in the latest issue of THEGAYUK. Subscribe now to read the magazine for free.
