Ellie And Izzi Gogglebox: Real Life Jobs Of The Cast
From Ellie and Izzi (Gogglebox favs) to Giles and Mary, we’re looking at the jobs the cast have IRL.
Sitting on your sofa to watch someone sitting on theirs chatting about (or slagging off) the week’s TV doesn’t sound like much entertainment, but trust us, it’s a winning formula – and it seems the UK just can’t get enough of it…
We know what they think about Love Island, what they snack on for supper and the layout of their living room, but while we watch the Gogglebox clan each week, we don’t actually know that much about their lives…

From Giles and Mary’s quirky wit to Ellie and Izzi’s laugh out loud one liners, when it comes to having a giggle, the Channel 4 show delivers time and time again.
So, let’s find out about the lives of the contestants we’ve grown to love…
Ellie and Izzi (Gogglebox Favourites), Leeds
We’ve been entertained by the Warner sisters for years but they don’t just spend their time sat around watching TV…

Tremaine, Twaine and Tristan, Bristol
The three hilarious brothers signed up for Gogglebox in 2017 and are known for their love of football – so, you can probably guess their day jobs, right?
Tristan is a midfielder for Hereford FC and Twaine also is a footballer, playing for Bradford Town. Their brother Tremaine doesn’t work in football, instead, he’s a chef AND he has an ADORABLE pug.
Scott, Georgia and Isaac McCormick, Peterborough
Scott isn’t just a man with a massive beard, he’s also an aeronautical engineer, who’s spent 22 years in the RAF. His wife Georgia is a tutor for hairdressers. Their son Isaac has Tourette’s syndrome so the family signed up to the show to try to raise awareness of the condition.

Mary and Marina, Bristol
Ahhh, Mary and Marina. The widowed BFFs who live in the same retirement home quickly stole the hearts of nation. Whilst we’re not exactly sure what job they used to do, we know that the best friends are now retired and spend their time chilling out and, of course, watching TV.

Linda & Pete McGarry, and George Gilbey, Clacton on Sea
Although they were favourites with the viewers, the couple and son were briefly axed from the show back in 2014 after George broke the show’s rules by appearing on another TV show, Celebrity Big Brother.
Linda and Pete have been married for around 19 years, she’s a carer and he’s an electrician, the same as his stepson George. The pair have also fostered around 60 children together!

The Woerdenwebers, The Wirral
Known for their deadpan humour and silent (now) ex boyfriend of Jay – the one who sat on the sofa and never spoke – the Woerdenweber family were certainly a Gogglebox favourite.
Unsurprisingly, mum Viv has her own tattoo studio and her daughter runs a New Age shop nearby, selling incense, oils and Pagan jewellery.
Viv met drummer Ralf in 2007 when she was out with a friend celebrating the Pagan festival of Yule.
