Gogglebox's Izzi Warner stuns fans with high-flying new career venture no one knew about

Gogglebox stars Ellie and Izzi Warner are fan favourites on the show and are loved for what they do on the show.

But the girls are just as busy and talented outside of the show.

Older sister Ellie is well known for her funky hair colours so it's no surprise that outside of the programme, she is a skilled hair dresser, specialising in colouring with eco-friendly products.

The star is based at HIVE hair salon, based in White Cloth Hall, Leeds.

Ellie has a profile on the salon's website, which reads: "I started my hairdressing career in 2009 at Sassoons in Leeds where I specialised in hair cutting.

"I’d always had a fascination in colouring hair too so when I decided to spread my wings last year, I knew it was time to pick up the tint brush!

"I’m always learning and keeping up to date on the latest products and techniques so I can give my clients their hair goals!

"As a hairdresser I believe you should never stop learning and trying to better yourself so when the opportunity to join Hive arrived I grabbed it with both hands and I’m super excited for what the future holds."

And now Izzi has revealed more about her own work life.

The mum-of-two used to be a nail technician but the star moved onto becoming a mortgage underwriter.

Recently, she's celebrated how she's forged ahead in her new career path and has passed some difficult exams.

She's now qualified as a mortgage advisor and took to social media at the beginning of the month to share the happy news with her 283,000 Instagram followers.

The 28-year-old Gogglebox favourite first shared a boomerang of her certificate on her stories proving she had passed her certificate in mortgage advice and practice exam with distinction.

Izzi captioned the post: "'I've only gone and done it! CEMAPS completed, mortgage advisor pending..."

Since then, Izzi has launched a new mortgage business page that will help people get onto the property ladder.

The Leeds star shared that she worked in mortgages for the past seven years and is now starting a new venture.

Izzi said she will share mortgage advice, myth-busting and fun facts about buying a property.

Posing in her work uniform, she shared a picture urging people thinking of buying a property to get in touch.

The new Instagram page IzzieWarnerMortgages has since gained over 1,000 followers and hundreds of likes.

The post reads: “What you also may not know about me is that I have actually worked in mortgages for the last 7 years! With my last job being as a mortgage underwriter, I have all the skills, knowledge and experience to help you on your journey!

"Thanks for coming to check out my page, any follows and shares are greatly appreciated stay tuned for mortgage myth-busting and fun facts!

“Please get in touch if you’re thinking of making that first or next big purchase!”

And fans were quick to congratulate her on her new venture.

"This is wonderful news. I will definitely be in touch in the new year. Congratulations," one said.

Another replied: "Congratulations! You look stunning!!"

"Not Mortgage related but you're looking blooming beautiful in this picture," a third added.
