I'm A Celebrity 2024 star expected to be best-paid most ever

by · Birmingham Live

The I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! lineup is shaping up - but they aren't all going to be paid equally. Indeed, one of the rumoured contestants will be getting more than anyone else has ever earned, according to reports.

Coleen, who recently made headlines following the Wagatha Christie trial, is set to join this year's line-up. Reports suggest that the mother of four, married to Wayne Rooney, could earn over Nigel Farage's staggering £1.5m from last year.

That means if she lasts every day of the three weeks, she will be earning £70,000-a-day. That puts even Wayne Rooney's Manchester United wages to shame!

Danny Jones

Danny Jones, frontman of McFly, steps in for Tommy Fury and looks set to descend into the jungle next week following the Love Island celebrity's eleventh-hour withdrawal.

A source reportedly told The Sun: "As well as bringing some of the star appeal of the group with him, he'll be supplying some serious guy candy for the campmates and viewers at home. All the McFly guys are gym fanatics and Danny in particular has a great physique - which he's bound to show off in the jungle."

The N-Dubz star and former X Factor judge will also appear on the show this year. The singer is also known for being one to stand her ground, so let the games begin.
