Imagine doing a trial to get food for someone being paid 25x more than you


The pay the I’m A Celeb 2024 cast members are getting for their time in the jungle has seemingly been revealed. And one thing it proves is that a couple of weeks eating bugs and living in a camp really doesn’t sound all that bad. They’re making serious bank.

In an interview with OK! Magazine, an expert has revealed the estimated pay each I’m A Celeb cast member is getting for their time in the jungle. The differences are wild – the highest paid is believed to be getting 25x more than the celebrity being paid the least. Here is the full ranking.

The lowest paid celeb this year is apparently radio presenter, Dean McCullough. It’s believed he’s being paid £60k for his I’m A Celeb stint. The expert said this fee is reasonable because he’s “not a household name yet.”

Melvin Odoom – £90k

Soap stars have had varying pay cheques for their time in the jungle. But, it’s believed Alan Halsall is getting £150k. He plays Tyrone in Corrie, and his on-screen wife Jennie McAlpine was reportedly paid £250k when she was in the jungle.

GK Barry – £150k

Podcaster and TikToker GK Barry probably thinks all her Christmases have come at once, because she’s reportedly getting £150k for being in the jungle. That’s probably a lot more than the TikTok Creator Fund dishes out.

Danny Jones – £150k

McFly band member Danny Jones is also believed to be being paid £150k. The expert said: “McFly’s got that enduring appeal, and two of their members have already appeared on the show and were fan favourites – with Dougie Poynter winning the whole thing.

“Danny’s got the friendly, relatable vibe that would work well in the jungle, and he’d bring a lot of charm without any drama. He’s likely a safe bet for viewers looking for some nostalgia and a feel-good factor.”

Oti Mabuse – £200k

via ITV

Strictly’s Oti Mabuse is the first camp mate making multiple hundreds of thousands. Her fee is said to be £200k. This has been put down to her “huge fan base” and “energy and positivity”.

Tulisa Contostavlos – £200k

via ITV

Tulisa was definitely one of the biggest signings for the jungle this year – so it’s no surprise her pay reflects this. The N-Dubz singer and former The X Factor judge is apparently bagging £200k.

Coleen Rooney – £1.5million

via ITV

It’s believed WAG Coleen Rooney is the highest paid campmate of all time. It’s been reported she’s getting £1.5million for her time in the jungle. Not bad for a couple of weeks sleeping outside and eating bugs!
