ok.co.ukGogglebox has introduced us to some of the best characters, providing us with a bundle of laughs and some of the most iconic moments on TV.
But what we've often wondered is how much the stars of Gogglebox actually earn from their witty TV commentary. Sandra Martin, who lived off benefits before debuting on the Channel 4 series in 2013, claimed she earned a whopping £100,000 every year from appearing on the show.
