Towie star reveals he made £30k in just FOUR hours with secret side hustle
THE Only Way Is Essex star Freddie Bentley has sensationally claimed he’s raked in over £30,000 in three hours thanks to a ‘secret side hustle’.
The reality star, who first found fame on Channel 4’s The Circle by ‘playing it straight’, appeared on Love Island star Chloe Burrows’ podcast, Chloe Vs The World.
On the show, she spoke about his upcoming stint on Towie and his lucrative gig that saw him make ‘£30k in four hours’.
Speaking about income streams as a reality star, Freddie confirmed that the bulk of his earnings are made through four hour sessions on TikTok Lives.
Filming in Holborn, Freddie says it feels like “clocking in for a shift” where he can go home and switch off afterwards.
But each session, where he encourages viewers to buy the items he’s trying to flog, earns him thousands at a time.
“I do for hours at a time, but that’s hard,” Freddie said. “The max I’ve done is 12, I’ve done 12 on a big sale. I was frazzled.”
Chloe bluntly responds: “What the f**k are you selling for 12 hours?!”
“Basically what it is, is there’s four hot products that you’re sending in one go. So I’m only speaking about them four products really, over and over and over and over and over again,” he said. “I feel like a robot, I don’t even know my name.”
“Four hour’s graft, it’s good money for what it is,” he added. “It’s pocket money, do you know what I mean?”
When pushed by Chloe to reveal how much, Freddie said that one Black Friday sale saw him rake in £30,000.
A shocked Chloe screamed: “You’re f**king lying!” prompting Freddie to clarify he gets a percentage of that amount, rather than the whole lot – but still a large enough chunk to make it all worth it.
He added a “normal” Friday would see him earn around £6,500, but if you’re not in the mood, or aren’t making money on a slow day, it is draining and repetitive.
Freddie is getting ready for his Towie debut this season, joining the 33rd series of the long-running reality show.
He is introduced to the group as a close friend of Ella-Rae Wise, and said he found the move ‘natural’ considering he already knew and hung out with a large chunk of the cast.
Towie will air on ITVBe.
