How much every I'm A Celebrity 2026 campmate is set to be paid

I can practically hear those jungle drums and Ant and Dec shouting into the void already… it’s nearly time for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! to return.

We’ve already had the reported line-up for this year’s jungle, so now it’s time for the next thing we’re all interested in – how much they’re said to be getting paid.

There’s quite the variety of stars reportedly heading Down Under this year, from Leigh Francis to Leomie Anderson, so there’s quite the variety in pay to match.

But I mean, there’s no surprise with who is said to be getting the most for I’m A Celeb this year; Wayne Rooney, of course. Although, while there is hundreds of thousands between him and Jack Skipper, he’s reportedly getting a lot less than when his wife, Coleen, took to camp in 2024.

So, according to @superTV247 on X, Rooney is reportedly set to earn £800,000 for his time on I’m A Celeb.

Very differently, Coleen remains one of the highest paid contestants of all time as it’s reported she got £1.5 million for her series. That’s matched by Nigel Farage in 2013.

But the England legend does still come high up in the list, with the next highest paid being Noel Edmonds at a reported £600,000.

The next highest-paid on the list this year is reportedly Ricky Wilson with £175,000.

He’s followed by three stars said to be cashing in £150,000: AJ Odudu, Joanna Page and Leigh Francis.

Then, reportedly bagging £100,000 is Ade Adepitan, Claire Sweeney and Mariella Frostrop.

Said to be being paid £75,000 is Chloe Burrows, Leomie Anderson and Sharky.

And finally, the lowest-paid celebrity this year is reportedly Jack Skipper at £50,000.

The ‘three-day rule’ for fees

It’s famously rumoured that there is a ‘three-day’ rule in the jungle for celebs to collect their fee.

And yeah, it’s exactly as it sounds – it’s said that campmates must stay in I’m A Celeb for 72 hours in order to earn their full pay.

Of course, this rule is essentially in place (supposedly) to stop stars from rocking up Down Under, spending a measly one night on our screens in camp before deciding their fed up and then getting off with the cash.

While celebs do often leave the jungle quite early in (hello Gemma Collins, of course), it’s very rare that they’ll leave within three days.

Except for the likes of Olivia Attwood, who was forced to leave prematurely in 2022 on medical grounds, after just 48 hours.

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here debuts on Monday 16 November, as confirmed by ITV.
