NowI’m A Celebrityis back, and the contestants in the jungle are embarking on a heavy three weeks – it’s important to remember that they won’t be sitting in ditches of spiders and eating kangaroo balls for free.
But how much have each of the contestants been paid? Well, of course it varies dramatically, with Caitlyn Jenner unsurprisingly raking it in, with a reported £ 500, 000 fee.
If it’s true then it would make her one of the highest earners in the show ever, with Noel Edmonds rumored to have been paid between £ 500, 000 and £ 600, 000 for his appearance last year.
But that might not be an accurate figure, with Ant and Dec referring to it in the opening section of the first episode on Sunday night.
Introducing the show, Dec said: “We’ve got reality TV royalty Caitlyn Jenner. Most people come into the jungle to lose a few pounds,” with Ant adding: “But she’s going to be gaining 500 , 000 of them according to the papers. “
Dec then responded, telling Ant,” Don’t believe everything you read in the papers, Ant. You know that, “suggesting that Caitlyn might not be earning quite so much.
Ant and Dec carried on the joke, saying,”I’m A Celebrity2019 can only have one winner. Caitlyn Jenner’s agent by the sound of it. “
Other rumors for the celebrity fees include Ian Wright, who is said to have agreed a £ 400, 000 pay check followed by ex-Girls Aloud singer Nadine Coyle, who will apparently be paid £ 250, 000.
