GOGGLEBOX - do they get paid?

[kylesmybaby]

How much do you think they get paid? My friend says reality tv people don't usually get paid anything. This seems different though. Thanks

If you google it, you find it is £15 a night!!!!!!

Outrageous. That is not minimum or living wage. It will barely buy Dom a bottle of plonk, or Scarlet a spray tan!

They don't do it for a living though do they? I'm surprised they get paid at all, being on the tv and becoming 'semi' famous would be enough for most people.

Steph and Dom and Chris+ other hairdresser cant remember his name have both got other work from it.

I had read that they get something like a £50 fee per week (not sure if that is each or per family/couple) All the programmes get shown to them in one night and they need to change their clothes for every programme they watch. The vicar obviously changes her tea cosy too!

They also receive a take away of their choice.

Wish I could find the link to the article.

In series one, they were given food and drink, and £15 per night. For series 2, they got offered set payment for the series - the lowest was £600 for one individual, but the highest was "a few times that, at least".

I bet they all get free sofaworks sofas.

How do I apply to be filmed sitting on my own talking to no one and providing no entertainment value whatsoever?

Funny they have to change clothes. That is the opposite of GBBO where they seem to make them wear the same clothes for both days. Why? We know if is day two. Or is that a lie?

Some of the sofas are eyewateringly bad

I returned a top I saw someone wearing on gogglebox

Who was wearing it only?

I returned a top to peacocks once after seeing it worn really badly by someone else out on the street.

It was Scarlett's mum, she is a lovely attractive woman but you know, on gogglebox

I do know! Everytime you wore it someone would say "where have I seen that top before?" Like when I used to recognise my bed linen on hollyoaks

The Sidiki's (sp?) had a new sofa at the start of the last series, I seem to recall

If anyone has ever watched 'Campus' there is a middle-aged transgender character called Grace (see photo) who in one episode wore the same top as one that I have (not the top in the photo). That was at least five years ago and I still wear it.

Campus was absolutely brilliant. I can't understand why they never made more!

I once turned up to work, aged 20 in the same top as one of the older (60ish) women. I didn't mind, as I'd bought it from River Island but she got ribbed for trying to dress like a kid Luckily it was all very friendly.

I used to recognise my coat in hollyoaks!

Beth in coronation street has a few of my tops, the wardrobe department must like primark and George at asda .

I once had the same Next shirt as Gail from Corrie. Gail. I was in my early 30's at the time (cringe).

Ha ha, i spotted Sandy or Sandra? in a Zara top I own the other week. Bit gutted. But I really like it and live many 1000s of miles from the UK so am hoping I can still get away with it.

Lol at sandy. Is it spangly?

Nah, tasteful monochrome izzit!

Mynameis- I have a jumper from top shop that I've seen Gail wearing, I'm 25!!

I see the Tappers have a nice new sofa

Scarlett was already in reality tv before she did goggle box, she did an mtv show

Some have done adverts on the back of gogflebox haven't they, like Chris and Stephen doing EE and is it Giles and Mary(?) the lottery

I saw Mary doing her shopping in Waitrose last week - it made my day!

I'd be v.impressed if anyone owns any of the same pieces of jewellery as Sandy/Sandra (whichever sits on our right) especially the giant aeroplane ring or cufflink necklace.
