Reality TV fans are hooked on the new season of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here, which premiered on Channel 10 on Sunday, but there’s one star of the show whose rumoured appearance fee will make eyes water.
WATCH: Ryan Gallagher admits to having ‘massive crush’ on Charlotte Crosby on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
UK reality TV star Charlotte Crosby is one of the 12 campmates who have entered the jungle so far this season, and according to the Daily Telegraph, the 29-year-old is being paid a whopping $1 million.
While Channel 10 has been tight lipped about how much it pays celebrities to appear on the show, insiders have let slip that Charlotte negotiated the huge fee for her stint in the jungle.
However a Network 10 spokesman denied the six figure sum and refused to specify exactly how much the Geordie Shore star, 29, is being paid.
“That figure is ludicrous. Completely untrue,” the spokesman told the publication.
The ex Geordie Shore star is so far the biggest name this season, and viewers have watched as she has struck up a friendship with MAFS’ Ryan Gallagher since meeting him on the show.
Charlotte will compete against fellow contestants in gruelling tasks over six weeks for $100,000 to be donated to their chosen charity.
Joining Charlotte and Ryan in the jungle is TV chef Miguel Maestre, AFL stars Dale Thomas and Billy Brownless, YouTube star Tanya Hennessy, comedians Dilruk Jayasinha and Nikki Osborne, TV presenter Tom Williams, actor Rhonda Burchmore, radio announcer Myf Warhurst and reality TV stars Erin Barnett.
According to the Herald Sun, Charlotte’s $1 million fee is nothing compared the what cricketer Shane Warne was paid when he was on the show in 2016.
“I called James Erskine, my manager, who said he knew the main guy at Channel 10 and would speak to him again, which he did. Bingo! Next day, James rang to say we’ve got the $2 million! Oh s***! When you throw a big number out there, you’re not really expecting to get it; but now …,” Warne wrote in a piece for The Herald Sun.
