“I had my contract signed, bags packed, everything ready and received a message from my manager stating that the American executives had made a creative decision to not include me on the show despite believing I am ‘good talent’. [sic].” Jessika wrote on Instagram.

However, recently a little birdy told The Daily Mail that the reason for Jess’ exclusion from the show wasn’t due to creative decisions.

“Jessika was packed and ready to go but Ten called for a last-minute meeting where they told her that her pay would be halved,” the insider said.

Apparently Jess was set to receive close to $6000 a week, while her co-stars received a paltry $3000. When the show tried to cut her pay to match the others Jess wasn’t interested.

“As much as they wanted her on the show, they couldn’t afford what she was asking for anymore. It just didn’t make sense to keep her on,” the source said.

As much as we’d love to get paid 3K a week to hang out in an Argentinian villa will all the drama that is going on there maybe Jess was right to give it a skip.

Rumours began earlier this week that Abbie Chatfield’s (maybe ex) boyfriend Konrad Bień-Stephen had entered the show claiming to be single. He then started hooking up with his co-star Megan Marx.

“The drama is insane, Konrad is sleeping with Megan [Marx],” another source told The Daily Mail.

“On the first night of filming he hooked up with Megan. I didn’t know what was happening,”
