Hold onto your hats because the rumours are true. The stars of “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!” are reportedly earning big bucks for their time in the jungle. These A-listers may be roughing it in the jungle, but they’re definitely not doing it for free.
According to reports from Daily Mail Australia, the latest crop of jungle stars are earning between $35,000 and $180,000 for their time on the show. That’s a lot of coin for eating bugs and enduring wild challenges!
But the biggest payout of them all reportedly goes to former Bachelor Nick “Honey Badger” Cummins. A source told Yahoo Lifestyle that Channel Ten had been courting him for years and was willing to pay big bucks to get him on board this season.
“His deal is thought to be worth around $250,000 to $300,000, making him one of the highest-paid campmates this year,” the insider said.
