I'm A Celebrity will return later this month as Ant and Dec head to the Australian jungle to welcome a handful of new stars to the show.
The 2024 series will see Colleen Rooney, Danny Jones, GK Barry and more try to win the hearts of the nation in order to be crowned King or Queen of the jungle.
Of course, these celebrities won't be putting themselves through the camping conditions and Bushtucker trials for nothing and will be paid a varying range of fees for their time on the show.
As the new series begins, we've taken a look at the highest paid I'm A Celebrity contestants of all time.
1. Coleen Rooney- £1.5million
This year's I'm A Celebrity campmate Coleen Rooney is said to be the highest paid contestant of all time, reportedly taking home a whopping £1.5m.
The wife of Wayne Rooney has rumoured to have been in talks about joining the show for years, however she now believed 2024 is the right time to take part.
2. Nigel Farage- £1.5million
Politician Nigel Farage was said to have been paid around £1.5m to join the line-up of I'm A Celeb 2023.
Receiving mixed reviews from the public, Nigel finished in third place behind Tony Bellew and Sam Thompson.
3. Noel Edmonds - £600,000
Pocketing a cool £600,000 for taking part, The Deal Or No Deal star arrived into the jungle late in 2018 as a 'surprise' to the other campmates, however, was the first to leave when it came to public vote.
4. Caitlyn Jenner - £500,000
Keeping Up With The Kardashians star Caitlyn Jenner appeared on I'm A Celebrity back in 2019 and was reportedly paid a large £500,000 to appear on the series.
While many viewers were hopeful at the time she would spill some secrets about her life with the most famous family in the world, she kept any bombshell revelations to herself.
5. Harry Redknapp - £500,000
Harry Redknapp became the King of the Jungle in 2018 after winning the hearts of the nation.
The football manager was reportedly paid £500,000 to appear on the show.
6. Boy George - £500,000
Boy George made for interesting viewing on I'm A Celebrity in 2022, and reportedly pocketed £500,000 - like Caitlyn and Harry - from his time on the show.
If this figure is correct, the singer would have been the highest paid star of the series.
7. Katie Price - £450,000
Katie Price's hefty fee of £450,000 for I'm A Celebrity in 2009 is warranted when you remember that it was on the show five years prior that she met Peter Andre.
In 2004, their romance in the jungle increased the show's popularity and only became more iconic when they wed a year later.
At the time of entering the jungle for a second time, Katie was coming in with a new perspective following her split from the singer.
8. Ian Wright - £400,000
