This year, Coleen Rooney is reportedly set to become the joint-highest paid contestant after Nigel Farage was said to have made it out of the I’m A Celebrity jungle with £1.5 million in last year’s competition.
N-Dubz singer Tulisa Contostavlos, Loose Women’s Jane Moore and McFly star Danny Jones are amongst some of the familiar faces we’re expecting to see in the first episode of the 2024 series.

“I have been in the public eye for over 20 years now and people take what they want from it,” Rooney said ahead of the show.
“I do think people will get a better idea of what kind of person I am.”
While I’m A Celeb fans will wait to see how the mum-of-four gets on, Rooney might not receive her money because of a little-know rule.
According to the Metro, celebrities can’t just jump in and out of the jungle and still get paid.

The outlet reports that contestants must stay in the competition for at least 72 hours to receive their earnings.
Notably, not all them are getting paid the same amount, as they generally receive anything between £30,000 and £900,000, according to reports.
Unless you’re Rooney or Farage, that is.

After the line-up dropped, one fan commented: “Wow, I’ve actually heard of six of them, that’s a higher number than usual.”
While another added: “Blimey, I am actually aware of the entire cast, except GK Barry, whoever she is. This should be a bloody good year!”
“I actually know a couple of these, and not just the older ones! Just putting it out there now, Danny for the win! #kingdanny!!” someone else wrote.

How much I’m A Celeb contestants get paid as 2024 line-up is revealed
The full line-up for 2024’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! is here
You just know when the I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! line-up drops that Christmas is just around the corner.
Mentally, you don’t really want to think about Xmas shopping, but the good news is that the creepy crawlies will be under the tree in the living room before you know it.
Last Friday (1 November), The Sun were right on cue to announce the leaked line-up for this year’s rendition of the reality show.
ITV is yet to confirm the group of contestants and it’s important to remember that they are likely to add a few more to that list of 12.
As always, we expect Ant and Dec to return to our screens to present the gruelling Bushtucker Trials.
But now, let’s get down to business.
When it comes to the king, or queen, of the jungle, they are usually awarded with a nice ceremony and a fancy throne to sit on.
However, the I’m A Celeb winner doesn’t actually receive any prize money, and that’s because they are already getting an appearance fee.

While ITV don’t tell us how much each celebrity earns, The Sun has reported that Coleen Rooney is rumoured to be the joint-highest paid contestant in the history of the show.
She is allegedly set to earn a whopping £1.5 million to appear and that’s apparently the same amount Nigel Farage was on last year.
In second place comes Noel Edmonds, who reportedly earned £600,000 in 2018, followed by Caitlyn Jenner as she was said to have taken home an eye-watering £500,000 in 2019.
2018’s king of the jungle Harry Redknapp was also reportedly paid the same figure.
As for the rest of the contestants, they generally receive anything between £30,000 and £900,000, according to reports.
Unless you’re Rooney or Farage, that is (allegedly).
