Celebrity Gogglebox. A winner of 13 TV awards over its nine-year history, the show's most recent run featuring ordinary families earned five million viewers per episode at its peak. But while that series has come to an end, the ever popular Celebrity version is back with a star-studded cast featuring Melanie C, Martin and Roman Kemp, Denise van Outen, Nick Grimshaw and Mo Gilligan.
It has been estimated that each regular family on Gogglebox receives around £1,500 each month, which they can then divide between themselves. On top of the payment, each house gets a free takeaway to help keep them going through filming - which is usually done in two six-hour shifts.

According to a report, A TV insider said that celebs are dying to get on the Channel 4 show and current cast members are earning a whopping £2,000 per episode, along with expenses paid for all of their food and drink. Not bad for a few hours work. This means some pairings could take home £12,000 altogether over the six episodes that the show will air.
Gogglebox in all its forms, including its celebrity edition, has not only been a hit in the UK, but has also gained international interest. America, Canada, Australia, Ireland, Poland, Russia and Finland all have their own versions based upon the original format. Key to the success of the UK title is its cast; however, you cannot apply to be on the show.
