Channel 4 Gogglebox's Ellie and Izzi Warner's brilliant Leeds jobs away from the show

Gogglebox stars Ellie and Izzi Warner first burst onto our screens in 2015 and they've been delighting viewers of the smash hit Channel 4 show ever since.

It's thought that the Gogglebox cast get an allowance of £1,500 per month as well as some takeaways thrown in but of course, that does mean they all need jobs away from the show.

Ellie and Izzi are both pretty open about their lives outside of Gogglebox with the pair having a strong social media presence.

Izzi boasts an impressive 355k followers on Instagram whilst Ellie hosts slightly more, at 400k.

Both women have separate accounts for their work whilst Ellie also has another for her three pooches, Mick, Madge and Morris, and also has one showing her house renovation.

So what are those jobs?

Ellie Warner

Many fans guessed what Ellie's work is as she's well known for her funky hair colours.

It's no surprise that outside of the programme, she is a skilled hairdresser, 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."

Izzi Warner

Izzi has only recently 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 to share the happy news with her 355k 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!”
