Gogglebox star Sandra Martin hints she’s signed up for I’m A Celebrity and reveals she makes £100,000 a year
The telly favourite said she will be 'earning big money' this year and has already signed a contract
GOOGLEBOX star Sandra Martin has hinted that she’s signed up for I’m A Celebrity after revealing she’s got a contract with a big TV show and is set to earn ‘big money’ this year.
The telly favourite quit the popular Channel 4 show this year and has been linked to a number of shows – the most likely of which is I’m A Celeb as it’s the last big programme of the year.
Hinting at what’s next, she told the Mail On Sunday: “I am going to earn big money this year. I got a contract with a big TV show I am not allowed to talk about.
“When I was on Gogglebox, I could only work for them. But everyone wants me now that I have left.”
Sandra, who left the programme after four years earlier this month, says that the show was the ‘best wage’ she had ever earned in her life and she managed to make an impressive £100,000 a year.
She told the paper: “It was the best wage I ever earned in my life and I got asked to do loads of celebrity appearances at events which Channel 4 would also pay me for. I still had time to sell stuff at car boot sales because I only had to do Gogglebox two days a week for six months of the year.
She added: “I paid tax on an income of £100,000. In fact, ever since I started doing Gogglebox in 2012, I have earned around £100,000 every year.
“But I did not want to sit on that sofa for the rest of my life. I wanted to spread my wings.”
And she certainly seems to be doing that because as well as the mystery big TV show, she is also being paid a five-figure sum for just 20 days' work when she does panto this year.
Sandra announced she will no longer be on the Channel 4 show during an interview on This Morning last month.
She said: "I am going to miss it, but I decided at that time I wanted to move on to other things.
"It's four and a half years now, and I'm just moving on, keeping up with the times."
The star added: "Sandi left last year as everyone knows, she's my TV partner, and my daughter came on after.
"I want to pursue my career to do other things, Sandi had gone before, but it wouldn't have been the same with my daughter."
Her former Gogglebox co-star Scarlett Moffatt appeared on I'm A Celebrity last year and won the show.
