Reality TV fans may be stunned to learn about how much their favourite celebrities have earned by taking part in I’m a Celeb – with one celebrity raking in more than £2,700 per hour.
Looking at the fees reportedly paid to contestants in years gone by, experts at NetVoucherCodes.co.uk have revealed the staggering amount celebrities can make on an hourly rate by participating in the jungle competition. With the ITV show making a return to screens on November 6, reports are already circling about how much the celebrities will be earning from taking part in the reality TV series.
Some of the biggest paid celebs of all time only made it to 11th and 12th place on the show, with many failing the bushtucker trials, resulting in less food for their co-stars and demonstrating a lack of contribution to the camp. Celebrities like Katie Price only stayed a number of days, which is why their hourly rate is so high, whereas other contestants such as Harry Redknapp made it all the way to the final and still managed to rake in £946 an hour.
John Stirzaker, online consumer expert at NetVoucherCodes.co.uk, said: “While many are aware that celebrities walk away with a big pay check from taking part in the show, we’ve found the number to be quite staggering once broken down into an hourly rate. It’s one of the most popular shows for people to watch, drawing in over 7.5 million viewers across its latest season in 2021.
