Ouch! These are officially the I’m A Celeb cast members who got paid the least for the jungle

Honestly, it’s not worth it


When they’re spending weeks in a camp with no food or comfortable bedding, you’d think the least the I’m A Celeb cast members could cling onto is the promise of a big pay cheque at the end of it. But it turns out for some, this really wasn’t the case.

Now, some of the highest paid campmates of all time are getting millions for being in the jungle. But, previously the worst paid I’m A Celeb cast members have received tiny fractions of this. The hellish trials probably aren’t even worth it.

Here’s a ranking of the I’m A Celeb cast members who got the least pay of all time, ending with who was paid the very smallest amount.

9. AJ Pritchard – £50k

Emily Atack was in the jungle in 2018, an appearance that bagged her £40k. Her fee was significantly small, but her time in the jungle was long – she came second.

4. Myles Stephenson – £25k

Myles Stephenson found fame on The X Factor in 2019, and went on I’m A Celeb the same year. He was only paid £25k for his appearance on the show, which feels quite harsh in contrast to Caitlyn Jenner, who was paid £500k the same series.

3. Jordan Banjo – £25k

I’m A Celeb must have been pretty chuffed when it bagged Toff for just £13k and then she went on to win the show. She was on the show in 2017, and despite being Queen of the jungle, was the cast member who was paid the least in I’m A Celeb history.
