The 2020 series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! at Gwrych Castle in North Wales has now finished, with Giovanna Fletcher crowned the winner! We witnessed Jordan North smashing his fears to bring back stars, we saw this year's late arrivals turned up and viewers loved seeing the likes of Sir Mo Farah, Shane Richie and Hollie Arnold MBE.

As hosts Ant and Dec lifted our spirits with their hilarious antics on the show, it really has been a series to remember - and we could even be seeing future series of the show airing from Wales! The wages for this year's contestants were revealed one week into this year's series, and some of them are MEGA!

How much are this year's I'm A Celeb contestants getting paid?

Sir Mo Farah: £300,000

With all of his amazing success in the sporting world, it's no surprise Sir Mo Farah cost bosses the most to land on the 2020 series.

He is an Olympian after all!

Vernon Kay: £250,000

Bosses have reportedly been trying to get TV host Vernon on the show for a number of years, but this year they managed to entice him with a whopping pay cheque.

Beverley Callard: £150,000

Coronation Street legend Beverley is reportedly the highest paid woman on this year's series, and it's not a bad little (big) figure either!

Shane Richie: Unknown

Despite Shane's I'm A Celeb fee not being made public, the former EastEnders actor confessed he was 'broke' after a tough 2020 due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

Russell Watson: £100,000

He was a late arrival into this year's series, but tenor Russell is still getting paid VERY well. The opera legend is reportedly picking up £100K for his stint.

Jessica Plummer: £75,000

Bosses reportedly enticed EastEnders actress Jessica into the Welsh castle with a tasty £75,000.

Giovanna Fletcher: Unknown


Ruthie Henshall: £75,000

She was a late arrival alongside Russell Watson, but already she's had her fair share of trials and secret missions! The West End star and Magic at the Musicals host was reportedly paid a lovely £75,000.

AJ Pritchard: £50,000

After quitting his former role as a professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing earlier this year, AJ is reportedly taking home £50K for his appearance in the castle.

Jordan North: Unknown


Hollie Arnold MBE: £50,000

She's used to winning Gold medals not Gold stars, but a fee of £50,000 reportedly got Hollie Arnold MBE into the castle! And after showing off her amazing singing voice, maybe she will leave with a record deal on the table too!

Victoria Derbyshire: Unknown


We certainly don't feel sorry for them doing those nasty trials now! 🙈

Although a lot of this year's fees haven't yet been disclosed, nobody in the 2020 series has landed quite as much as 2019 contestant Caitlyn Jenner, who took home a whopping £500,000 for her stint in the famous jungle.
