It has been revealed that Nigel Farage has been paid a hefty £1.5 million to star in the latest series of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
This large sum makes the former UKIP and Brexit Party leader the highest paid celeb the show has ever featured. Despite the hefty fee, Farage has said he won’t be competing in the Bushtucker Trials due to injuries he sustained in an aeroplane crash in 2010.
The show’s latest series is launching tonight (Sunday, November 19) at 9pm on ITV1. The Daily Mail has released a list of the highest paid celebs to grace the jungle. The payments range from Farage’s £1.5M to just £300,000 paid to Mo Farah.
