Robert Irwin could be paid up to $3 million AUD for this years\u2019 series of I\u2019m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here amid whispers he could be snatched up by US television shows.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndustry sources\u201d revealed to New Idea<\/a> that Robert, who turned 22 last month, has had his worth skyrocket after winning the US version of Dancing With The Stars at the end of last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s genuinely the ballpark he\u2019s playing in now,\u201d the industry source told New Idea.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of American shows approaching him are hovering around that figure.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, the insider says that while the monumental offers from US production companies are tempting to the young star, I\u2019m A Celeb\u2019s producers are willing to \u201cwork around Robert\u2019s jam-packed schedule\u201d and that he feels \u201cat home\u201d on set.<\/p>\n
