ITV I'm A Celebrity's secret millionaire revealed as they rival Coleen Rooney's earnings

An I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! campmate has impressive earnings thanks to signing up to other reality shows as well as gaining lucrative book deals

A secret I'm A Celebrity millionaire has been revealed as they earn almost as much as Coleen Rooney.

WAG Coleen has reportedly been paid a staggering £1.5million to appear on the hit ITV show. It has even been suggested she could easily eclipse her football star husband’s Wayne ’s estimated £80million lifetime earnings. Coleen, 38, has invested heavily in a company now floated on the Stock Exchange for £350million.

However, she is not the only star in camp who has cool earnings on the outside world. The I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! camp is set to be rocked as two new celebrities turn up on Thursday's show. Former Love Island star Maura Higgins and Reverand Richard Coles have confirmed they are entering camp to shake things up.

However, Richard has already seen the benefits of being the nation's favourite TV vicar. Rev Coles was in the 80s group The Communards as well as Bronski Beat. He is up there as one of the best paid stars thanks to his successful TV career on shows including Strictly Come Dancing, Celebrity MasterChef, Songs Of Praise and Newsnight Review.

Richard has also made appearances on Have I Got News For You? and QI. He has worked in radio and has also penned a series of successful crime novels as well as his autobiography. According to the Sun, Richard’s firm Mistramark Ltd paid £179,047 in corporation tax over 2022 and 2023. At the time, the rate was 19% meaning the company netted around £940k profit.

Ahead of his stint in the Australian jungle, Richard told the Mirror his preparation for the jungle entailed consuming 5000 calories a day on a cruise and avoiding ‘triggering’ nature documentaries. The star said: “I would like to say that I've been lowering my calorie intake to prepare for that, but that's not worked out so far. I've been trying not to look at nature programs about the horrors of Australia.”

He admitted he is worried about his snoring and “everybody wanting to kill me because I keep them awake at night.” The TV star added: “I am also worried about finding a fear I didn't know I had yet and going to pieces on television in front of a koala or wombat or something.”

Despite his reservations, Richard is thrilled to become the first vicar in the jungle. ”I don't think there are many precedents for this, although, vicars have been going into jungles for years and years and years as missionaries.” Asked what will annoy him, he told us: "Sniffing. I'm also not naturally a patient person. Also I lived in the monastery for two years.

"So I know what it's like to be locked in with people you didn't choose to be with. So I've got some resilience. Except there wasn't food deprivation, instead there was a lot of cake in the monastery. So I don't know what it will be like.”
