Declan Donnelly is fronting this year's I'm A Celeb with newcomer Holly Willoughby. But how much is Dec being paid? Star's salary uncovered.

I'm A Celeb host Dec, 43, has returned for another series of the show, but this time alongside Holly Willoughby, 37.

It is the first time the Geordie has hosted the show without presenting buddy Ant McPartlin since I'm A Celeb began in 2002.

And with recent reports of Holly Willoughby earning a cool £2.5million for her co-hosting duties this year, it seems likely that Dec is back on the same wage as 2017.
