Gogglebox stars Ellie Warner and Stephen Webb both shared her delight at returning to their day job as lockdown restrictions lifted earlier this week.
Ellie, who has starred in the Channel 4 show for a number of years now alongside sister Izzi, is a hairdresser by trade and, like many others in the grooming sector, braced herself for a busy day on Monday as hairdressers and beauticians were able to open for the time in months.
She took to Instagram to post a picture of her masked up inside the salon where he works and captioned the snap: " Back to work .good luck to all my fellow hairdressers and everyone who’s back at it today."
Many of Ellie's 287,000 followers were quick to react to the picture, with one writing: " Good luck Ellie, have the best day!" and TV medic and Good Morning Britain regular Dr Amir Khan, responding: "Woohoo!! Good luck."
Someone else who commented on Ellie's post was another Gogglebox fan favourite and fellow hairdresser Stephen Webb, who told her: "Work b***h."
Stephen used the same phrase to celebrate his own return to the salon. Sharing a picture of him back at work wearing PPE he wrote: " #workb***h #salon #backtowork #bringbackmygirls."
Ellie sister Izzi was one of the first to comment on Stephen's picture, writing: "Happy first day back," and returning the favour to nail technician Izzi, he replied: "and you love!! I’m looking forward to lunch from the deli lol."
Another one of Stephen's followers posted: "Back to some sort of normal! Yay! Have a great day!"
Earlier this year it was claimed that siblings Ellie and Izzi stand to make the most away from Gogglebox after upUgo, analysed Instagram follower count, value per post, and post frequency to calculate an estimated Instagram income for each Gogglebox star.
Research shows that the siblings, who have been in the cast since 2015, could make a massive £607,017 per year if they both posted once a day.
Even if they only post once a week, it is projected that Ellie and Izzi could still bring in an impressive £96,000 a year between them, with followings of 185,000 and 202,000 respectively.
