The amount of money Matt Hancock is receiving for signing up to this year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! has been revealed - and it is one of the biggest ever. The former Health Secretary is reportedly set to rake in around a whopping £400,000 to take part in the popular ITV reality TV show.
Speaking to The Sun, a source said: "Matt’s pay deal with I’m A Celebrity is around £400,000 which is one of the largest ever show fees to have been paid out. ITV were keen for viewers to think the deal was worth around £150,000 but in reality it’s over double that. They asked him to be on the show three times in a matter of weeks and the money definitely helped seal the deal.”
A spokesperson for Matt Hancock said: “Matt will be making a donation to St Nicholas Hospice in Suffolk and causes supporting dyslexia off the back of his appearance. He will also declare the amount he receives from the show to Parliament to ensure complete transparency, as normal.”
