It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas when I'm A Celebrity returns to our screens.
The ITV survival show will kick off this evening (17 November) and the brave group of celebrities have been announced.
Coleen Rooney, N-Dubz singer Tulisa, Love Island star Maura Higgins and boxing promoter Barry McGuigan are just some of the names who are set to take on the dreaded Bushtucker Trials.
Ant and Dec are, of course, back in action to present the 24th series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! for the next three weeks.
With Sam Thompson being crowned King of the Jungle in 2023, it was actually Nigel Farage who became the highest paid contestant in the show's history.

However, Coleen Rooney is set to equal what the politician was on.

Rooney is reportedly set to earn a whopping £1.5 million to appear and that's apparently the same amount Nigel Farage was on last year, finishing in third.
The former Deal or No Deal host reportedly earned £600,000 and was the first contestant voted off in 2018. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me.
The three very different celebs, Boy George, Harry Redknapp, and Caitlyn Jenner, reportedly all walked out of the jungle with £500,000.

Redknapp was 2018's King of the Jungle, while George finished in eighth place back in 2022.
Jenner did a little better, coming in at sixth place.
OG I'm A Celeb fans will remember Price's stint in 2003, finishing in third place.
But for her second appearance in 2009, she was reportedly paid and eye watering £450,000, though she ended up leaving nine days into the jungle.

The Made in Chelsea star was no stranger to reality TV when she joined the jungle in 2017, reportedly taking home £13,000.
Although she didn't earn a massive amount like the others, she went and joined up with I'm A Celebrity...South Africa six years later.
In 2018, the Hollyoaks actor was the second person to be voted off after reportedly earning £15,000.
The pair who both rose to fame on Britain's Got Talent and The X Factor, respectively, were said to have commanded £25,000 for their sites on 2016 and 2019.

Banjo was the fourth person to leave, while Myles finished in a respectable sixth place.
Inbetweeners star Emily Atack went on the show in 2018 and reportedly got £40,000, finishing in second place.
