Former Gogglebox star Sandra Martin has revealed how she is still living the luxurious lifestyle she was accustomed to during her time on the show.
The 61-year-old has spoken about how she is able to capitalize on her popularity with the show through ‘celebrity loans’ that she doesn’t pay back.
Sandra first appeared on the show alongside friend Sandi Bogle in 2013. After four years, she was then paired up with her daughter Chanchez Martin, before leaving the show in 2016.
Before signing up to Gogglebox, Sandra had ‘been on benefits for years’, but soon found herself attending red carpet events, being sent freebies, and regularly getting stopped by fans.
Now, with Sandra not currently working, she isn’t allowed to be paid for certain jobs and is instead ‘paid expenses’. From free trips to Amsterdam and Ibiza to staying in private property in Hastings ‘free of charge’, Sandra is still getting the benefits of being in the public eye.
She went on to add how her finances had been bolstered and are now ‘very well’ because her agent had given her ‘crisis loans’ and ‘celebrity loans’ that she isn’t required to pay back.
Sandra has spoken about how her Gogglebox fame helped fund a new luxurious lifestyle while she was on the show.
‘That left me with about £500 a week to do what I wanted – hair, taxis, nails, takeaways. I was living a luxury lifestyle,’ she said.
Following her time on Gogglebox, Sandra went on to pursue other career opportunities, including a stint on Celebrity Big Brother. Earlier this year, she said she’d also begun working as a cleaner at a funeral parlour in Hastings, Sussex.
Though not currently on Gogglebox, it seems Sandra is still able to enjoy a luxurious lifestyle - and the perks that come with being in the public eye.
