Expert reveals how much the I’m A Celebrity cast are really being paid after Nigel Farage lands biggest ever pay day | The Sun

I'M A Celebrity boasts a stellar 2023 lineup, but bagging a cast of big stars doesn't come cheap.

In the past, it has been well documented that the campmates get compensated differently, with some receiving much bigger paychecks than others.

How much are the 2023 I'm A Celebrity cast paid?

ITV reportedly shelled out a HUGE sum to secure this year's lineup, according to brand and culture expert Nick Ede.

He told the Mail that the amount the cast makes is only going to grow as the show allows them to access lucrative endorsement opportunities after the series.

Yet, with a dynamic mix of celebrities, politicians, and TV personalities – he says figures will differ by more than £450,000

Here we take a look at how much the celebrities are being paid for the 2023 edition of the reality TV show…

Nigel Farage – £1,500,000

It has been reported that politician Nigel Farage is the "highest paid" star in I'm a Celebrity history.

He is thought to be pocketing £1.5million for his time on the series.

The former highest-paid star on the show was Noel Edmonds, who was paid £600k in 2018.

Farage's net worth is estimated to be around £3.26million.

Marvin Humes has been a sight to look at in the jungle after stripping off to work out with Fred Sirieix – and may be pocketing £150,000.

Mr Ede says the show is helping the JLS star cement his status as a showbiz titan.

Since finding fame on The X Factor, Marvin has released many albums and embarked on hugely successful tours with his bandmates, as well as hosting his own late-night radio show on Capital.

He reportedly has a net worth of around £4million.

Grace Dent – £100,000

MasterChef UK critic, food writer, author, and podcast host Grace Dent has reportedly signed a deal worth up to £100,000 to star on I'm a Celebrity.

The star, who has written over eleven books, has worked for publications like The Guardian, The Independent and Vogue throughout her career as a journalist.

Dent reportedly boasts a net worth of £3million.

Jamie Lynn Spears – £250,000

Britney Spears' younger sister has placed second with the biggest paycheque – expected to be around £250,000.

The star is known for her teen acting career that saw her front Nickelodeon show Zoey 101.

She is now married to Jamie Watson whom she shares a daughter with called Ivey Joan.

Jamie Lynn also has a daughter called Maddie from a previous relationship.

She is thought to have a net worth of over £4.8million.

Sam Thompson – £80,000

Former Made in Chelsea and Celebrity Big Brother star Sam Thompson has won the hearts of the nation with his puppy dog energy.

However, some viewers have branded him an "attention-seeker" and "annoying".

Mr Ede says the star could bag himself a presenting job down the line.

Away from the show, it is believed that Louise Thompson's younger brother has a net worth of around £1million thanks to his TV past and various business ventures.

Josie Gibson – £100,000

This Morning presenter Josie Gibson is one of the main characters of the crew.

Mr Ede says she is close to becoming a national treasure – and the show could be what pushes her over the edge into 'iconic' status.

Josie first found fame on Big Brother but has gone on to become a regular host on a variety of ITV shows.

It has been reported that Gibson is pocketing £100,000 to appear on I'm a Celebrity, giving a huge boost to her already-impressive net worth which is estimated to be around £800,000.

Nella Rose – £40,000

Despite being a loud character in the jungle, the YouTuber is placed a the bottom of the list when it comes to their paycheque – at £40k.

The star can be described as anything but boring and has been trending on X, formerly Twitter, following a brutal spat with Fred Sirieix.

Fred had told Nella he was old enough to be her father, but she took great offence as she had previously told him her parents had passed away.

Nick Ede says her actions are doing nothing to help her chances of making money outside the show.

According to him, she could have potentially lost herself £100,000 a year.

Prior to starring in the ITV show, the internet personality is thought to have amassed a net worth of around £100,000, thanks to her entertaining online content.

Fred Sirieix – £150,000

Channel 4 regular Fred Sirieix has won fans for his composure in the jungle.

Mr Ede says the Frenchman could be bringing home £150,000 for his stint down under – and benefit from the experience for a long time to come.

The star has already enjoyed a successful television career, with his credits including First Dates, First Dates Hotel, BBC's Million Pound Menu, and his televised road trips with famous TV chefs Gordon Ramsay and Gino D'Campo.

The maître d' is reported to have a net worth of over £1million.

Nick Pickard – £70,000

Hollyoaks legend Nick Pickard has made a great impression after entering the jungle.

Mr Ede says the star could see lucrative gigs flooding in after the show – when the public sees his engaging personality shining through.

The actor has reportedly amassed a net worth of around £3.5 million since starting his career.

The star has played beloved character Tony Hutchinson on the soap since 1995.

Danielle Harold – £70,000

Former EastEnders actress Danielle Harold has been a popular campmate in the jungle since her arrival.

She was flooded with support from viewers after she immediately confronted her anxiety on the ITV show.

Ede says I'm A Celeb could be the perfect opportunity for Danielle to show the public she is more than just her soap character Lola.

After the show closes, it will be no surprise if she sees fashion deals heading her way.

The actress is said to have made over £ 4 million since first playing Lola Pearce on the BBC soap.

She first joined the show in 2012 and made a highly-anticipated return in 2019 after four years off-screen.

When is I'm a Celeb on TV?

I'm A Celeb kicked off on Sunday, November 19, 2023.

The show continues to air every night at 9 pm on ITV.

After airing, the episodes will be available to watch on catch up on the ITV Hub.
