I'm A Celebrity shatters spending record history with brand new £2.1m line-up of stars
ITV bosses have accumulated the biggest bill in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! history in order to bag a line-up of big names as exciting as the long-anticipated return to Australia, according to reports.
A television insider has explained: "Producers know that the right combination of stars will get viewers tuning in and staying with the show over the next three weeks — but that costs serious money. Radio X DJ Chris Moyles is set to receive a hefty £200,000 cheque for his time in the jungle, whilst comedian Seann Walsh - who is believed to be joining the current campmates along with controversial politician Hancock later in the series - will receive £130,000.
Despite singer Boy George - real name George O'Dowd - sitting at the highest end of the shocking scale, set to walk away from Oz with half a million, it is understood that the '80s star took some serious persuading from hosts Ant and Dec to take part.
