This year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! is shaping up to be one of the best in YEARS. Although there's the sad fact that Ant McPartlin won't be there alongside Declan Donnelly, Dec won't be alone as Holly Willoughby has stepped up to the plate. And she's NOTORIOUSLY scared of creepy crawlies which could make hilarious viewing.

But now that the line-up has been announced, we're even more excited about what to expect when the brand new series launches this Sunday (18th November) with Dec and Holly at the helm.

Of course, we know that the celebs heading into the jungle don't just do it out of the goodness of their hearts for our entertainment - they do get paid to eat kangaroo bits and drink slug smoothies.

But there's been a revelation about just how much one of the campmates is earning - and it's reportedly the biggest fee in the history of the show.

Footballing legend Harry Redknapp was announced as one of the 10 celebrities heading into the jungle yesterday (12th Nov), and it is now being reported that he's earning a whopping £500,000 for his appearance.

According to Metro.co.uk, a source has revealed that Harry has "secured" the dosh, but added that as he's 71 years of age, he "wanted the dosh."

If the reports are true, this knocks last year's campmate Amir Khan off the top spot, who reportedly took home £400,000 for his appearance on the show.
