How much are I’m A Celebrity 2021 contestants getting paid?
ITV never officially confirms the fees paid to celebrities to appear on the show.
However, there are lots of reports speculating how much the contestants receive for their time in the castle.
Some celebrities can apparently expect to receive anything from £30,000 to £500,000 depending on how well known they are.

This year it has been reported that Frankie Bridge has signed a “bumper deal” to appear on I’m A Celebrity – although an exact figure hasn’t been revealed.
Even though he hasn’t been confirmed in the line-up, it has also been reported that Adam Woodyatt bagged a deal to be on the show for a hefty £250,000.
Another big name, Richard Madeley, has also been estimated to make £200,000 from the show.
All the reported salaries pale into insignificance though compared to the highest I’m A Celebrity earner of all time.
Caitlyn Jenner was reportedly paid £500,000 for her stint in the jungle!
How much did last year’s contestants get paid?
The fees would certainly tally up with what some of the biggest stars received last year.
Back in 2020 it was reported that Olympic gold medalistSir Mo Farah was paid £300,000 for his appearance on I’m A Celebrity.
Presenter Vernon Kay was also reported to be one of the highest paid contestants, receiving a whopping £250,000.
Corrie star Beverley Callard is also said to have done really well and pocketed £125,000.

Meanwhile, AJ Pritchard and Hollie Arnold were only reported to have taken home £50,000. However, it’s not bad for a maximum of three weeks work!
The salaries of the show’s remaining contestants, including queen of the castle Giovanna Fletcher and Radio 1 presenter Jordan North, are currently unknown.
