This secret I’m A Celeb rule means the campmates might not actually get paid?!

Celebrities are obviously swayed to do I’m A Celeb by the massive paycheck they are promised, but did you know their pay isn’t guaranteed?!

Coleen Rooney is set to earn the most this year for her stint in camp, a whopping £1.5 million, which is the highest figure in jungle history.

However, there is a strict rule in place which says the celebrities must stay in the jungle for a specific amount of time before getting any of the cash.

Numerous reports claim that campmates need to stay in camp for 72 hours, which is three days, before they are guaranteed to get the money.

In 2014, Gemma Collins famously walked out of the jungle after exactly 72 hours, and people are convinced she did this on purpose to get her paycheck.

The TOWIE legend didn’t expect the experience to actually be so hard and joked at the time: “People who murder get treated better than this.”

That means any celebrities who left before the three-day mark wouldn’t have got paid, like Olivia Attwood who was forced to leave on medical grounds.

In an interview with OK! Magazine, an expert has estimated that Dean is earning the lowest this year at £60k, followed by Melvin at £80k.

Barry could be taking home £100k, Jane is estimated to rake in £120k and Alan, Danny, and GK Barry’s salaries are even higher at £150k.

Oti and Tulisa are believed to be getting a £200k paycheck, then there’s a massive jump to Coleen’s rumoured £1.5 million.
