Gogglebox cast wages revealed after Scarlett Moffatt admits she’s paid off her parents’ mortgage
Gogglebox insider reveals the families are paid a monthly allowance and get free takeaways for 'working' two six-hour shifts a week
GOGGLEBOX star Scarlett Moffatt surprised fans this week by revealing she has paid off her parents' mortgage.
But the 26-year-old must have used the cash from other jobs aside from Gogglebox for the kind act, as The Sun Online can reveal the wages the Channel 4 stars receive for watching TV aren't all that life-changing.
A Gogglebox insider exclusively reveals that each of the families taking part are handed a monthly family allowance of £1,500.
The amount is then split amongst contributing family members at their own discretion.
In exchange for the fee, each of the families are expected to commit to 12 hours of filming a week across two six-hour shifts.
How much is Katie Price worth?
Katies's net worth is estimated at £40million.
She started her career as a glamour model on The Sun’s Page 3 back in 1996, when she was known as Jordan.

The pair sold their wedding pictures in a lucrative magazine deal, and went on to make money from various appearances and endorsements, as well as their ITV2 franchise Katie & Peter.
After their split in 2009, Katie launched several of her own brands, and released a series of children’s books and memoirs.
The monthly wage comes with its own added perks.
Each of the families receives free takeaways to keep them going through each six-hour sitting.
