I’m A Celebrity is a real leveller for the famous faces in camp<\/a> who battle the elements to live live al fresco in the Australian jungle, existing on bare rations and enduring hair-raising trials.<\/p>\n Despite the camaraderie in camp, not everyone is paid the same for their services to the brutal series.<\/a> While some stars take home a small fortune from appearing on the show, others are happy to settle for a lot less.<\/p>\n Last year ITV bosses splashed a huge amount of cash to get WAG Coleen Rooney<\/a> on board. The wife of Wayne Rooney<\/a> negotiated a fee in excess of \u00a31.5million to appear in camp, according to reports. The amount is even more than Reform party leader Nigel Farage demanded the previous year – and notably around 15 times higher than what rival WAG Rebekah Vardy<\/a> picked up in 2017.<\/p>\n The pay cheque makes Coleen one of I’m A Celeb’s highest paid stars ever. Ahead of tonight’s nail-biting final, we take a look at how her rivals fared…<\/p>\n Highest earners on I’m A Celeb The politician and media personality, best known for his role campaigning for Brexit<\/a>, and for leading UKIP<\/a> and later The Brexit Party, is reportedly getting a huge \u00a31.5 million for his time on the show, according to the Mail Online<\/a>. This makes Farage the highest-ever paid I’m a Celebrity<\/a> contestant of all time.<\/p>\n Noel Edmonds<\/a><\/p>\n The former Deal or No Deal host walked so Farage could run – all the way to the bank. Noel entered the jungle in 2018 for a reported fee of a whopping \u00a3600,000. Despite demanding a huge fee and being someone the production team had been chasing for years, the TV star spent very little time on the show and was the first person to be voted off.<\/p>\n Boy George<\/a>Harry Redknapp<\/a>Caitlyn Jenner<\/a><\/p>\n Three very different celebs, Boy George<\/a>, Harry Redknapp<\/a>, and Caitlyn Jenner, reportedly all walked out of the jungle with a cool \u00a3500,000. Culture Club singer Boy George ended up in eighth place during his stint in 2022. Caitlyn Jenner faired slightly better, coming in at sixth place during her time in 2019, but it was football legend Harry Redknapp who really earned his keep, coming in first and winning the nation\u2019s hearts in 2018.<\/p>\n Katie Price<\/a><\/p>\n It’s not clear how much Katie got for her first stint in the 2003 series, but the mum-of-five was reportedly paid a then record-breaking \u00a3450,000 for her second round in 2009.<\/p>\n Although she finished in third place during her first time, she ended up leaving the show on day nine during her second go in the jungle after a brief headline-grabbing comeback.<\/p>\n Out of these three celebrities, it was former Health Secretary Matt Hancock<\/a> who ended up lasting the longest on the show when he appeared in 2022. Finishing in third place behind runner-up Owen Warner<\/a> and winner Jill Scott<\/a>. Boxer Amir Khan<\/a> spent 20 days in the jungle, coming in fifth, while former football player Ian Wright managed 18 days and came in eighth place.<\/p>\n Lowest earners on I’m A Celeb Little known at the time, Made in Chelsea cast member Georgia Toffolo<\/a> was paid just \u00a313,000 to enter the jungle in 2017. However, the public quickly fell in love with the adorable star and helped her win the series. She returned six years later for I’m a Celebrity…South Africa.<\/p>\n Malique Thompson-Dwyer<\/a><\/p>\n The Hollyoaks<\/a> star went into the show in 2018 and was reportedly paid \u00a315,000 to appear. Unfortunately, the Prince McQueen star was the second person to be voted out of the jungle.<\/p>\n Jordan Banjo<\/a>Myles Stephenson<\/a><\/p>\n Jordan Banjo<\/a> and Myles Stephenson, who both found fame on other ITV<\/a> reality shows – Britain’s Got Talent<\/a> and X Factor<\/a>, respectively – both commanded a crisp \u00a325,000 for their stints on I’m A Celebrity. Myles entered the jungle in 2019 and was eliminated sixth from the competition. Meanwhile, Diversity dancer Jordan Banjo went on the show in 2016 and was the fourth person to be eliminated.<\/p>\n Emily Atack<\/a><\/p>\n The Inbetweeners’ favourite went on the show in 2018, the same year as Harry Redknapp. While the former footballer was paid \u00a3500,000 to appear, Emily reportedly got \u00a340k.<\/p>\n![\"Nigel](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0_Screenshot-2023-11-20-at-212022.jpg\")
