It sounds like the Channel 4 series, which sees the celebs settle down to watch the most talked-about television of the week, is one of the best gigs around! A TV insider told The Sun that it is an "absolute coup" for most stars, and revealed that the stars reportedly received £2,000 per episode, along with expenses paid for all of their food and drink. Not too bad!

Fans have been loving the new series, particularly when last week's episode saw the celebs tune in to watch Channel 4's Naked Attraction. One person wrote on Twitter: "#CelebrityGogglebox was brilliant tonight, especially watching #nakedattraction & the reactions were hilarious." Another added: "@StaceySolomon 's face in some parts of #CelebrityGogglebox tonight was brilliant the way @realjoeswash was going on."

So are the celebrity Goggleboxers paid more than the non-famous families who feature on the show? According to The Sun, they have a considerable pay rise in comparison, as the usual series regulars receive £1,500 a month per family to star on the show, which is usually done in two six-hour shifts of watching telly.
