Brendan Fevola stunned fans this week when he revealed he had pocketed more than $250,000 to appear on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2016.
But it seems like some cast members of the show’s current season aren’t getting paid that much.
An insider on the Channel 10 survival series claims one male cast member is taking home $90,000 for two weeks this season.
If they can endure the jungle’s notoriously creepy conditions, they’ll get an additional $5,000 every day afterward, giving them a chance to win $100,000 for their favorite charity.
Skye Wheatley, who stars in the current season of the show, says her salary for the series can’t match her regular income as an influencer.
