Gemma & Chesney’s Hidden Fortune Exposed
Gemma and Chesney Winter-Brown have been struggling with money matters for a long time. However, it turns out that they secretly make a lot of money every month. Recently, Gemma got into legal trouble after stealing a pair of expensive shoes for her daughter.
A devoted Corrie fan has delved deep into the couple’s finances, revealing exactly how much they earn and what’s left after paying all their bills and expenses. The X (Twitter) user, Sharonimo, mentioned that they first researched rental prices for houses in Salford, and the average lower-end rental is around £1,500 per month.
The viewer noted uncertainty about Bernie Winter’s full-time residence at Gemma’s house or with Dev. Hence, Bernie’s income wasn’t factored into their budget calculation or Universal Credit estimation. Addressing the storyline where the couple faces house eviction, they discussed the Council Tax band for such houses in Salford. They stated that they typically fall under Council Tax Band A.
Gemma & Chesney Arent Struggling As Much As Portrayed.
Additionally, Sharonimo analysed the benefits Chesney and Gemma would qualify for with their five children as they are exempt from the two-child rule due to the quads. After using a Benefits Calculator multiple times, they determined that the couple would receive approximately £2,905 per month, including £405 in child benefits.
This calculation was based on Chesney working 25 hours weekly at the kebab shop and Gemma working 20 hours at the Rovers Return. They observed that if the couple worked more hours (30-40 per week), their Universal Credit (UC) would decrease. Overall, their combined income and UC would stabilise at around £5,000 per month.
However, the estimation doesn’t include provisions for holidays or savings. Theoretically, they could have around £300 per month left over for those purposes. Wasting no time, other Corrie fans loved how detailed and dedicated that fan was. They added that they might qualify for DLA because their son Aled is deaf.
One person expressed curiosity about how a couple in their situation manages financially. They also questioned the cost of some of Gemma and Bernie’s clothing but speculated they might shop at charity stores. Another highlighted that having £300 left over each month shows they aren’t struggling as much as portrayed.
A third person criticised the portrayal on the show as unrealistic. Will soap bosses address these allegations? To find out, stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more Coronation Street spoilers! What are your opinions on this big reveal? Do you agree with the fan? Comment below!
