GOGGLEBOX star Roisin Kelly has revealed she is flogging all her old clothes to fund a £1,000 gift.

Since starring on Gogglebox, Roisin has gained a huge following on social media.
The style icon is no stranger to impressing fans with her unique fashion sense.
And now fashionistas have the chance to pack her wardrobe as she sells items from her wardrobe on Vinted.
The online marketplace allows people to buy and sell second-hand clothes, shoes and accessories.
Uploading items to the app is completely free, and Vinted doesn’t cut into sellers’ profits by charging buyers a small fee for purchasing each item.
Speaking about his Vinted sales spree, Roisin said: “I used to [do] ASOS ships all the time, but I moved and now I can’t afford ASOS shipping all the time.
“Every summer I have a box of summer clothes that I put in my closet and then don’t even wear, then put back in the box and take out again the following summer.
“I’m going to New York in November and I really want to go on a helicopter tour, but it costs £1,000. So I need to sell all my clothes on Vinted so I can ride a helicopter.”
Roisin has already racked up more than 100 five-star reviews on the app and currently has 39 items on sale, including a white ASOS dress for £45.
She’s also selling a leopard print dress from Zara for £12, silver ASOS jeans for £8 and a Sainsbury’s abstract midi for £12.
Urging shoppers to buy more, she joked: “If you buy my stuff, you will have my utmost gratitude.
“And you’ll know what my house smells like, which I always like to know about people.”
Online marketplaces like Vinted and Depop have millions of users across the UK, and the cost of living crisis is only adding to their popularity.
Financial pressures on British households have seen sales of second-hand goods rise by 15 per cent to £21 billion in 2022.
One in six people now say they buy used items, according to research commissioned by reviews website Trustpilot.
So now is the perfect time to earn some extra money with companies like Vinted.
According to the popular platform, sellers do not need to pay taxes on the earnings they make on the site.
This, HMRC said, is because the sale of personal items through platforms like Vinted is not taxable in itself.
“If the money a member makes on Vinted during a year is less than the amount they paid for the items they are selling, then there is no tax to pay,” explained a Vinted spokesperson.
“Generally, only commercial sellers who “trade” for profit may need to pay taxes.

QUICK tax facts from the Vinted team…
- The only time an item may be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and makes a profit (sold for more than you paid for it). You can still use your £3,000 capital gains tax-free allowance to offset it.
- Generally, only commercial sellers who trade for profit (buy goods with the aim of selling them for more than they paid for them) may have to pay taxes. Business sellers trading for profit can use a £1,000 tax break, which has been in place since 2017.
