I'm A Celebrity has an amazing 2023 lineup and getting these big names involves also means big pay cheques.
Of course, there can always be a disparity between who gets what as factors such as profession, public interest and level of fame need to be considered.
After all, you wouldn’t pay a Chancellor £40K to sit in a room full of tarantulas but you might pay a well-known YouTuber that much.
So how much are the 2023 I'm A Celebrity cast getting paid?
According to brand and culture expert, Nick Ede, ITV has spent an incredible amount this year to bag their celebs.
Speaking to the Mail, he said that the amount they are paid is just the start as they’ll also be opened up to endorsements and opportunities.
But he also added that the amount of payment between some of the cast members can be more than a £450,000 difference.
So let’s see who’s getting what.
Nigel Farage - £1,500,000

Nella Rose - £40,000
Despite her budding YouTube career, Nella Rose is reportedly the least paid cast member to appear on the show.
The star has been criticised online for her rows with Fred Sirieix and Nigel Farage, as well as her jab at Sam Thompson this week.
Fred Sirieix - £150,000
