How much highest paid I'm A Celeb contestants of all time made

I'm A Celeb has handed out some eye-watering pay cheques

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! will tonight see the late addition of Vogue Williams and Tom Read Wilson in what many would consider to be the proper kick off of the show.

The ITV reality show has so far seen a Kelly Osbourne feud emerging with Kelly Brook despite her not even being in the jungle, Martin Kemp opening up in brave fashion about his past health struggles, and Alex Scott speaking about her relationship with her potentially soon-to-be-wife Jess Glynne.

As fun as it is to watch though, one clear question will be on the mind of every I’m A Celeb fan: how much are they all getting paid?

Whilst a PR expert has weighed in on how much she thinks Williams and Read Wilson will be getting paid they are unlikely to be the highest paid celebs in history with this year’s cast seeing slightly reduced paydays.

With a mix of WAGs, politicians, and football managers, here are the top six highest paid celebs of all time.

Coleen Rooney

A popstar, the ultimate WAG, and powered by the controversy surrounding Wagatha Christie, it is unsurprising that Coleen is one of the joint highest paid celebrities of all time.

Taking part in last year’s edition of the show, Coleen made her way to the final before being beaten out by McFly’s Danny Jones and Reverend Richard Coles.

Reported payout: £1,500,000

Nigel Farage

Farage’s trip onto I’m A Celeb saw ITV fall into hot water in recent years, with producers on the show responding to claims they reformed the far-right politicians image by saying ‘people can make up their own minds’.

Farage finds himself in the news at the moment over allegations of racist and anit-semitic behaviour at school, leading Keir Starmer’s spokesperson to call for him to answer for allegations he engaged in Nazi salutes and racial slurs.

Reported payout: £1,500,000

Noel Edmonds

Noel Edmonds became the at-the-time highest paid celebrity in history in 2018, however, lasted just eight days in the jungle.

As is now well-known, celebs only need to last 72 hours in the jungle in order to get their prize money, so the TV personality was able to cash in a mega payout for his week and a half stint.

Reported payout: £600,000

Caitlyn Jenner

The former Olympic athlete and parent to some of the most famous women in the world, Caitlyn Jenner was a shock inclusion in the 2019 edition of the show.

She came in sixth place on the show, though also appeared in season one of the American show, coming in fourth place.

Reported payout: £500,000

Harry Redknapp

Surely looking to make a few quid in order to help out his dog with paying his HMRC, Redknapp was a highly paid and anticipated entrant on the show.

This paid off, seeing him crowned the winner of the 2018 series of the show and he is set to return for an all-stars season early next year.

Reported payout: £500,000

Boy George

Popstar Boy George was not a huge fan of his stint in the jungle, later stating he tried to quit four times in clashes with producers.

He was also accused of being misogynistic over clashes with Charlene White.

Reported payout: £500,000
