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.

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

Tulisa Contostavlos – £200k

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.
