Brendan Fevola surprised fans this week when he revealed that he got over $250,000 to appear on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2016.
But it seems like some cast members on the show’s current season aren’t getting paid that much.
A source from the Channel 10 survival series has claimed that a male cast member this season will take home $90,000 for two weeks.
If they can endure the jungle’s notoriously gruesome conditions, they’ll receive another $5,000 each day after that for a chance to win $100,000 for their favorite charity.
Skye Wheatley, who appears on the current season of the show, says her salary on the series can’t match her usual income as an influencer.

“To be honest, I would make more money being at home,” the former Big Brother star, 30, said in an interview with pedestrian television.
The high-profile social media star added: “I would do it for free.” It’s for charity, babes, who gives a damn about money?
Skye’s co-star Callum Hole, 24, told the publication she was paid “good money” and earned more than she was paid on Love Island.
Khanh Ong, 30, added that after four attempts the producers finally managed to convince him to appear in the series, at a much higher price than their original offer.

It comes after Daily Mail Australia revealed that celebrities on the popular series last season were paid between $35,000 and $180,000.
Australian television legend Kerri-Anne Kennerley led the pack in 2023. According to industry sources, she walked away with a generous salary of $180,000.
Meanwhile, former Project host Peter Helliar pocketed a cool $90,000 for his stay in the jungle, while former Australian Idol judge Ian ‘Dicko’ Dickson pocketed $80,000.

This week Fevola gave some revealing clues about the sums that the cast of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! She may have been paid to appear on the show.
The former AFL player, 43, revealed on Fox’s Fifi, Fev and Nick breakfast show that he was paid a huge sum up front to star in the reality show in 2016.
“They paid me $250,000 up front. And then $5,000 for each show after the first two weeks. You would stay there on a Sunday and hope there isn’t another eviction,” she explained.
“So if you stay another seven days, you’ll have another $35,000.”
Fevola was crowned winner of the show’s second series in 2016, beating other contestants such as Shane Warne, Anthony Callea and Havana Brown.
