The earnings of I'm A Celebrity contestants are typically kept under wraps... but this year, some figures appear to have emerged. With the programme returning on Sunday (16 November), viewers are eagerly anticipating the challenging series ahead. The reported fees for this year's lineup have allegedly been disclosed to the media, and predictably, each celebrity is rumoured to be earning thousands for their involvement in the popular ITV programme.

Nevertheless, a surprising name has topped the list, reportedly earning more than twice what the lowest-paid participant will receive. According to a television source speaking to The Sun, here are the alleged fees for this year's I'm A Celeb cast, ranked from lowest to highest earner.

Eddie Kadi in IAC

Eddie Kadi

The stand-up performer and broadcaster is reportedly receiving the smallest fee of all the famous faces, though it still amounts to a substantial £75,000 for the programme. The source suggested his lower profile meant his compensation wasn't as substantial as his fellow contestants, but added "his worth is set to shoot up as he'll likely go far in there."

Prior to joining I'm A Celeb, Eddie became the first Black British stand-up to headline London's O2 Arena, and participated in Strictly Come Dancing in 2023. He remained in the competition for five weeks before he and his partner Karen Hauer were voted out.

Loose Women favourite Kelly Brook is believed to be earning £5,000 more than Eddie, pocketing £80,000 for her jungle appearance. Despite previously ruling out the series, she explained her change of heart on Elizabeth Day's How To Fail podcast.

She said: "What changed? Really good question. A friend of mine got asked to have a meeting with the producers of I'm A Celebrity and I said, You have to do it, I love watching it, what an incredible life experience... I was thinking, why can't I give myself that advice? I realised it was basically out of fear, and I thought, it's about time that I live my don't give a da*n era."

The Spandau Ballet star is reportedly receiving the third lowest fee, estimated at £95,000. Whilst modest compared to some salaries this series, it's believed to be more than twice what his son earned in 2019.

Roman Kemp received approximately £40,000 for his jungle stint and remained in camp for 22 days. His profile skyrocketed following the programme, securing £1 million worth of contracts in the subsequent 12 months.

The comedian is understood to be collecting £95,000. The television personality is tipped by viewers to reach the final, particularly as the 72 year old's programme Ruby Wax: Cast Away saw her 'marooned' off the coast of a remote island in Madagascar for ten days.

Consequently, she's already familiar with isolated environments and depending on personal resourcefulness to endure.
