Channel 4 Gogglebox's Malone family's very normal jobs away from the show

The Malones are one of the most beloved families in the Gogglebox cast, known for appearing with their adorable dogs and their witty comments.

Families appearing on Gogglebox are thought to earn a monthly allowance of £1,500 which split between the four of them won't go too far, meaning the Malones are hard workers off screen too.

One of the most famous faces, Tom Malone Jr has been missing from the show this year, causing much concern amongst his fans.

He announced in February 2021 that he would be leaving the cast as his unusual job had really taken off and needed his full attention.

So what does he actually do?

He's actually worked with the likes of the Black Eyes Peas and Rita Ora and his career shows no sign of slowing down.

In 2021, Tom revealed he was going to star in Celebrity Mastermind on BBC Two, meaning his TV career is far from over.

Mum Julie works as a receptionist and dad Tom Senior is a lorry driver.

Shaun, who became a dad in July 2020, previously spoke about his other siblings' absence, telling the Metro: "When the show approached us, it was just me, Tom, mum and dad who were living together.

"Vanessa was at university and Lee was off living in his house… It wouldn’t have made sense for them to be on the show."
