Fans of ITV's I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! have been eagerly tuning in since the new series of the show began at the weekend. The camp has been filled with well-known faces including McFly singer Danny Jones and veteran WAG Colleen Rooney.

But some viewers have been left pondering exactly how much each celebrity is paid for their stint in the jungle. ITV does not comment on specifics, but rumours are swirling that mum-of-four Colleen has pocketed a cool £1.5million for her appearance on the show.

Other campmates are likely to have been paid a much lower rate of between £50,000 to £200,000. Many appear on the programme to increase their exposure in the hopes that once they return to the UK, plenty of work opportunities will come their way.

If the £1.5million fee for Colleen is true, it will make her the highest paid celebrity to appear on the programme. This is a title previously believed to be held by Nigel Farage who is thought to have been paid around £900,000.

Noel Edmunds got himself £600,000, it is reported, despite only lasting a week in the jungle. Football manager Harry Redknapp reportedly scooped £500,000 to appear on the series back in 2018 which he went on to win.

Culture Club singer Boy George and former Olympic athlete Caitlyn Jenner received the same fee. Katie Price has appeared twice on I'm a Celebrity and was £450,000 for her second stint, HELLO! reports.

Iain Wright, Amir Khan and Matt Hancock were reportedly paid £400,000 to take part in the ITV show.
