After Goggleboxbabe Scarlett Moffatt, who's recently impressing viewers in the I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! jungle, revealed to her campmates that she paid off her parent's mortgage as a 'thank you' what all they've done for her over the years - it got us thinking, just how much are the stars of Gogglebox paid?

Surely it's not the same as other reality stars? Or is it?

Luckily for all you nosy parkers, their wages have reportedly been revealed and the amount will definitely shock you.

A Gogglebox insider revealed to The Sun that each family get given £1,500 a month. That's PER FAMILY, not person. So if you divide it allup and really think about it, it's actually not that much at all.

Well, in showbiz terms anyway.

The families can apparently share out the wage between each other, but they are expected to film two six hour shifts a week.

So it's likely that Scarlett paid off her Mam and Dad's mortgage from deals and endorsements outside the show.

And let's not forget that most of the Gogglebox folk work normal-everyday jobs - with Steph and Dom running a B&B and Chris Steed working as a hairdresser.

However, the families do get free takeaway to munch on whilst watching TV back-to-back.

Errrrr, where can we sign up again?

Scarlett, 26, opened up to Joel Dommett and Wayne Bridge a few days ago, confessing that even though she's been on Gogglebox for two years she only quit her 9-5-day job last year.

"I paid off their mortgage off for them."

And when Wayne asked her how it made her feel, she admitted: "It's the best, the best ever.

"I just wrote them a letter saying thanks for being mint and sorry for leaving fake tan over the house and then I put a cheque in for them.

Her ultimate goal is to buy her folks a caravan.

"My aim is to be able to by me mam and dad a caravan.

"Cause they've always wanted one, but they are like £20,000, so I really want to be able to buy them one.

"And that's the dream, everyone wants to be able to look after their mam and dad, like they did when they were younger."
