Now it’s emerged that Gogglebox bosses are going to pay the 31-year-old her full fee for the show, despite her having to cut her series short.

Bosses paid Ellie her full fee for the show – they didn’t want her or Izzi worrying about money.

Speaking to The Sun, a source said: “Bosses paid Ellie her full fee for the show – they didn’t want her or Izzi worrying about money.

“Of course they’ve honoured the payments – they take duty of care very seriously on the show,” they added.

Gogglebox star Ellie to miss remainder of series

Yesterday (Monday, April 11) it was reported that Ellie wouldn’t be returning for the rest of this series of Gogglebox.

According to The Sun, Ellie will be missing the remainder of the series so that she can focus on looking after Nat.

A source close to Ellie said: “Ellie’s focus, 100%, is on Nat and supporting him in his recovery.

“She’s been told to take as much time off as she needs and it is very unlikely she will be returning during the current series. Producers have told her to take as long as she needs,” they continued.

The source then went on to say that Ellie has hardly left Nat’s side since he went to hospital.
