Many of us dream of being paid to sit down on our sofa watching the telly.
It's an ideal role for TV binging living room dwellers and has catapulted many people to stardom over the years.
While it may seem like the easiest job in the world, a tremendous amount of time and effort goes into making the hit Channel 4 show that viewers don't get to see.
And it won't come as a surprise to most that it is actually incredibly hard to get on the show.
Delivering a killer blow last year, a Channel 4 spokesperson confirmed: "We are not currently casting and there is no way to apply to be on Gogglebox."
No application process exists as producers venture out into the world to find the next big stars, but that doesn't mean you can't help your chances.
A specialist team travels around the country to find people that they believe will fit the show and be a hit with viewers.
The iconic Leon and June Bernicoff would never have become national treasures if producers hadn't got talking to Leon at a bridge club in Liverpool.
So the best way to get cast on the show is to keep being yourself and hang around public locations (once lockdown has ended).
You may get scouted on the street or picked up while doing your favourite hobbies.
There are usually one or two new families taking part in every series, so there are definitely opportunities for a lucky few.
There clearly isn't a specific type of person that fits the Gogglebox mould, as a range of different personalities exist on the show.
"Everybody on Gogglebox has been found and persuaded to be on the show and I think that’s the key to why they are likeable and why the show works, because we get to know these people," said the show’s creator Stephen Lambert said in 2015.
"We’ve never advertised for people on Gogglebox."
Those that do make it onto the programme don't get paid an actual salary, but they do get an allowace.
Each household is reportedly paid an allowance of £1,500 a month, according to The Sun, for committing to 12 hours of filming a week.
But obviously how great that fee is depends on how many are in the family - as the larger households will get less each.
The stars must decide between themselves how that allowance is divided, which could lead to a few squabbles.
They also get some delicious takeaways thrown in to fuel them during two lots of six-hour shifts.
It's a different story for the celebrity version - with Martin and Roman Kemp rumoured to have been paid £2,000 an episode for the latest series.
Obviously, anyone selected to go on the show will need to open their homes up to the Gogglebox cameras.
Rather than having just the one camera, the show is filmed using two that are controlled remotely from another room by the crew.
Known as "hot heads", one of the cameras does the wide shots of the families on the sofa, while a second captures close up shots of the participants.
The main footage you see on the show will be the wide angle, while the zoomed in shots are used used to capture an eye-roll or facial expression.
While the Gogglebox stars are left alone in their living rooms to their own devices, producers and film crew are hiding in special areas of their houses.
Behind-the-scenes there are actually a team controlling the cameras who are set up in a makeshift control room.
The families have to give up a room of their house to become production space so only they are in the room that is being filmed.
Although this isn't always possible, with Jenny and Lee having a temporary control room in a van outside their caravan.
"We rig a mini gallery, which is set up in a kitchen or bedroom," producer Tania Alexander told Vice.
"There’s a small team in the field – a producer, a camera person, and a sound person and a logger – and those four people are squared in whatever room is available for the entire shoot. It's like a mini TV studio."
