Gogglebox rich list reveals top earning stars who can rake in £2k per Instagram post

Gogglebox will be returning to our screens this September with a new series and it's been revealed some of the stars are set to make a mint on social media.

A lot of the TV show's stars have found fame through sitting on their sofas and reviewing the latest TV shows which has then led to them being paid for their social media posts.

LoanPig has looked at the Gogglebox cast that will be filming for series 18 and have worked out who is earning the most per Instagram post.

The top earner when it comes to Instagram posts is Queen of the mugs Sophie Sandiford who is earning on average £2,302 per post.

Sophie has a grand total of 461k followers as she sits alongside her brother in Blackpool who is a close second Instagram earner.
