Revealed: The whopping net worths of the vibey 2024 Strictly Come Dancing contestants

The net worths of the Strictly Come Dancing 2024 cast vary drastically. The two richest contestants – Toyah Willcox and Nick Knowles – have already crashed out the competition, but the other cast members still have a lot of money between them all. Here are the net worths of all the remaining Strictly Come Dancing 2024 contestants. I’d score them all at least a seven for money-making skills.

Chris McCausland

The comedian’s net worth was £800,000 in 2021. He’s become much more famous since then, though – he’s appeared on Live at the Apollo, Have I Got News for You and Richard Osman’s House of Games. Surely he must be a millionaire by now?

Jamie Borthwick

The 30-year-old actor has been in Eastenders since 2006, and hasn’t done much else. The most famous Eastenders actors like Steve McFadden and Adam Woodyatt make around £2,000 for each episode of the show they appear in, and about £300,000 a year. Jamie isn’t quite on that level.

According to some very thorough analysis on Eastenders Wiki, Jamie’s character Jay got the seventh most screen time. So he probably now makes upwards of £100,00 a year now? But I kind of doubt BBC Studios was paying him that much when he was eight.

JB Jill

Apparently JLS was cool once? JB Jill made about £3 million from being in the band. He told Me And My Money in 2021 that he’s invested his money in property and a turkey farming business. He lives with his family in a farmhouse worth £1.7 million.

Montell Douglas

Montell has had an extremely productive life. She’s packed a lot in by the age of 38. She’s currently famous for being Fire on Gladiators. Before that, she was the British record holder for the 100 metre sprint, and competed in bobsleigh in the Winter Olympics.

Her net worth is likey to be much lower than other Strictly celebs this year – she doesn’t have many followers on Instagram, and she can’t have been paid much for Gladiators because each season of the show is filmed over about two weeks.

Pete Wicks

With an estimated net worth of £3 million, Pete Wicks one of the richest The Only Way Is Essex alumni. In 2022, he attempted to stay relevant by launching a podcast with Sam Thompson called… Staying Relevant. Really. The podcast makes £15,000 a month.

However, Pete Wicks also has some serious financial problems. In February 2023, his business PW Promotions Ltd went bust. He gave up on his clothing line Happy Brands in 2022. The Sun says he’s got a £1 million debt.

Punam Krishan

Punam is the doctor who appears on Morning Live. Apparently. I have never watched Morning Live due to being under the age of 65. She is still a registered GP in Glasgow, so probably earns about £100,000 a year.

Sam Quek

Sam is on Strictly because she played hockey in the Olympics eight years ago. She’s been on quite a few TV shows since such as I’m a Celebrity and Question of Sport, which is why her net worth is now about £4 million.

Sarah Hadland

Stevie from Miranda is partnered with Vito this year. Such fun! She’s very private about her personal life, so despite extensive detective work I can’t find how much money she is. She’s worked as an actress for decades but isn’t mega famous – so I’m going to guess that she’s richer than most of us mere mortals, but isn’t on the same level as richness as some of these other celebs?

Shayne Ward

So, Shayne Ward won the second ever series of X Factor in 2005. Then he gave up on the music and was on Coronation Street for three years. I guess learning to dance on Strictly makes him a triple threat, in theatre kid terms? His various ventures have made him £2.3 million.

Tasha Ghouri

Our queen Tasha is slaying so hard on Strictly right now. Different brand collabs, modelling work and her book Hits Different have made her £2 million.

Okay, brace yourselves for this one. Some news outlets including The Mirror have reported that Wynne Evans (aka the Go Compare man) has a net worth of £100 million, which would make him twice as rich as Billie Eilish. Surely not? Wynne Evans is definitely pretty loaded – he’s made over 100 of those wretched Go Compare adverts, and he was a successful opera singer for years before that.
