The substantial fees paid to celebrities for enduring the trials of the Australian jungle on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! are a perennial source of public fascination. For the 2025 series, which began filming in mid-November, the curtain has reportedly been pulled back on exactly what this year's crop of famous campmates will be taking home.
Who Tops The Earnings Chart?
According to a report from The Sun, the highest-paid star entering the camp this year is Brit Award-winning rapper Aitch. The musician, whose real name is Harrison Armstrong, has allegedly secured a whopping £250,000 for his appearance. This is a significant sum, yet it pales in comparison to the fees commanded by top stars in recent years, such as the £1.5 million reportedly paid to both Coleen Rooney and Nigel Farage.
A source suggested that Aitch, already a savvy and wealthy negotiator, sees the show as a vehicle to reach a more mainstream audience and to raise awareness for Down syndrome, a condition his sister lives with.
The High-Profile Campmates And Their Pay Packets
Following closely behind Aitch is Jack Osbourne, son of the late rock legend Ozzy Osbourne. He is reported to be earning £200,000. Producers are reportedly hopeful that Jack will share poignant stories about his father, who passed away in July, during his time in the jungle.
Former Lioness and football pundit Alex Scott is in line for a significant payday of around £100,000. Her exact fee is said to be a closely guarded secret, but her respected status in the sporting world prompted ITV to offer a substantial amount.
Popular YouTuber Angryginge, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle and who is currently the favourite to win the entire series, is also believed to be pocketing £100,000 for his participation, capitalising on his massive following among younger viewers.
A Cluster Of Stars On Similar Fees
A group of well-known faces are all reportedly earning similar amounts for their jungle stint. Broadcaster Ruby Wax and Emmerdale star Lisa Riley are each said to be receiving £95,000. For Wax, producers are likely anticipating candid tales from her interviews with figures like Donald Trump.
They are joined at the £95,000 mark by Spandau Ballet's Martin Kemp—earning £55,000 more than his son Roman did in 2019—and former EastEnders actress Shona McGarty.
Model and Heart FM DJ Kelly Brook is reportedly taking home £80,000, with a source hinting she has a wealth of 'colourful' life stories to share.
Bringing up the rear in the salary stakes is comedian and DJ Eddie Kadi, a former Strictly Come Dancing contestant. He will be paid a reported £75,000, which is still a notable increase on the lowest fees paid to contestants in recent series.
While the exact figures remain unconfirmed by ITV, this alleged leak provides a compelling glimpse into the financial negotiations behind one of Britain's most beloved reality shows. The stars, including all those mentioned, began their jungle adventure on Saturday, 15 November 2025.
