Insane salaries for I’m A Celebrity contestants revealed
The I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! Stars are off in the South African jungle, with each one of them competing for a $100,000 prize going to a charity of their choice. However, some stars might be taking even more money home for themselves.
The Daily Mail reported that the celebrity cast are in for salaries ranging from $35,000 to $180,000. Although an impressive sum, it’s unsurprising for Channel Ten as they are known to splurge when it comes to the show, with Shane Warne claiming he received $2 million for his appearance back in 2016 (a fact which was enough to convince Kyle Sandilands to steer clear of the jungle for this year's adventure).
Speaking to news.com.au prior to the show, Kerri-Anne Kennerley revealed she had negotiated some special “provisos” in her contract.
She told producers she would only brave the jungle if she was able to bring her beauty products along with her.
Alongside Kerri-Anne, Channel Ten star Peter Helliar, 47, is up for an apparent $90,000 for his appearance on the show.
Former Australian Idol judge Ian ‘Dicko’ Dickinson has secured some hefty funds too, reportedly being paid $80,000 for his short stint in the jungle.
Some of the lower profile celebs are earning a smaller wage of $50,000, including MAFS star Domenica Calarco, radio host Woody Whitelaw and AFL player Adam Cooney.
Geordie Shore’s Charlotte Crosby was rumoured to have pocketed $1 million when she appeared on the reality show in 2020, but this year’s Geordie Shore star Nathan Henry will only be taking a fraction of that home.
Henry, with over 1.4 million followers on Instagram, will be earning $35,000 for his appearance.
