Harry Redknapp and Caitlyn Jenner pocketed huge fees to plug a fake charity in a TV sting.
Channel 4’s Dispatches approached booking agents after setting up a bogus charity called Cleaning Up Plastic Pollution in Africa (CUPPA).
Agency MN2S said footie manager Redknapp would post on Instagram for £15,000 and do a photoshoot for £5,000, so the reporters paid £20,000 for both.
A snap of Redknapp, 73, in a CUPPA T-shirt and cap was later posted, saying: “I’m proud to support CUPPA.”

His lawyer said: “He would never knowingly charge for regular charity work.
“He agreed to payment after being informed the charity was supported by private investors.
"He was paid less than the sum quoted.”
MN2S also received £19,500 for a photoshoot and post with US reality star Jenner, 70.
Her lawyer said: “Apart from this, she has never been paid for charitable work and intended to donate the money to charities.”
MN2S said charities benefit from celeb links and fees are “heavily discounted” from usual rates.
