The salaries for the stars competing on I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! 2025 have reportedly been revealed.
One of the questions frequently asked about the ITV reality series concerns the fees that contestants are paid in exchange for taking part, which can vary wildly from person to person.
This year’s contestants include Jack Osbourne, Kelly Brook, Martin Kemp, Lisa Riley, Ruby Wax and YouTuber Angryginge.
While ITV does not disclose details of how much contestants are paid, a report has alleged to know what the stars are taking home.
Here’s a rundown of what everyone on I’m a Celebrity is reported to be making this year.
Aitch
The Sun reports that this year’s highest-paid star is Brit Award-winning rapper Aitch, who is reportedly making £250,000 for his appearance.
This would be a considerable step down, however, from the highest-paid stars’ salaries in recent years, which saw Coleen Rooney and Nigel Farage bag an alleged £1.5m for signing up.

A source told the outlet: “Aitch is a very savvy negotiator and very wealthy in his own right already, but I know he is looking to become more mainstream as he gets older, and this will be a good vehicle for him.”
Jack Osbourne
Sources claim that Jack Osbourne will be taking home £200,000. His appearance on the show follows the death of his musician father Ozzy in July – and producers signed him up in the hopes the star of reality show The Osbournes will share some memorable anecdotes about the metal legend.
