Gogglebox stars' wages and other perks they get from Channel 4

They are our country's favourite armchair critics and many people envy their jobs, quite literally - but how much do Gogglebox stars get paid?

Essentially, their job is to analyse programs aired to the entire nation. It sounds so easy that many have speculated that the Gogglebox stars are paid in dogs and takeaways, reports Lancs Live.People swear by the sword that it can't be possible for people to get paid to sit and watch TV. However, being paid in dogs alone is a little extreme.The truth is - drumroll - they get cash payments too. Each family is paid £1500 a month.

How do I become a Gogglebox star? There is bad news and good news. If you ever dreamed of becoming a Gogglebox star then you are just in luck because the show is currently looking for new recruits - that is the good bit. Instead, a team of handy scouts go up and down the country looking for the new stars. Speaking about the casting, the show’s creator Stephen Lambert said in 2015: "Everybody on Gogglebox has been found and persuaded to be on the show and I think that’s the key to why they are likeable and why the show works, because we get to know these people. We’ve never advertised for people on Gogglebox.
