I'M A Celeb's line-up of stars have packed their bags and headed Down Under for the jungle show.
But how much does it take to convince this bunch to live among the creepy crawlies in Australia?
Our TV insider, who has signed a host of huge stars for primetime shows, has estimated what he reckons the lineup are likely to have pocketed.
Our expert tells The Sun Online that bosses have blown over £1.4 million on the 2019 line-up – with Caitlyn Jenner topping the list at £400,000 and Myles Stephenson banking just £25,000.
Here we take a look at what the stars are rumoured to have been paid ahead of the show's launch on Sunday, November 17 th.
Caitlyn Jenner – £500,000
ITV bosses took a big risk forking out £500,000 on reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner.
And she's now already picked up one award before jetting to the Aussie jungle – she's topped the show’s rich list.
They reckon Caitlyn, 70, will be TV gold and open up about her famous Kardashian stepkids including Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian.
And her daughter Kylie Jenner with ex-wife Kris Jenner is already a billionaire, while Kendall Jenner is a world class supermodel.
However, they announced their separation in October 2019, with them providing a joint statement at the time.
Ian Wright – £400,000
Next in the line-up is ex-England and Arsenal legend Ian Wright, 56, who is picking up around £400,000 for his stay under the stars in Australia.
The secret was let slip by last year's I'm A Celebrity winner Harry Redknapp during a guest appearance at the Royal Concert Hall in Nottingham.
Nadine Coyle – £250,000
Nadine Coyle has also signed up for I’m a Celebrity.
The 34-year-old singer has been confirmed as the ninth contestant on the show.
And producers hope she will spill the beans about Girls Aloud's turbulent falling out after they split for her estimated £250,000 pay cheque.
Andy Whyment – £100,000
Corrie’s Andy Whyment – Kirk Sutherland – will swap rainy Manchester for rainy Australia and a source said: “Andy is a lovely guy and will do anything for anyone – just what’s needed when tempers get frayed in the jungle.”
The 38-year-old is rumoured to have negotiated a £100,000 pay day.
Kate Garraway – £75,000
Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway is believed to be getting £75,000.
Kate, 52, told co-host Ben Shephard: “I don’t like heights. I don’t like the dark. I don’t like camping, even in a tent.”
What could possibly go wrong?
Jacqueline Jossa – £75,000
Jacqueline Jossa – Walford’s Lauren Branning – is swapping the stage for the jungle as she stars in this year’s I’m A Celeb.
The mum of two was said to have been in talks to join Simon Cowell’s show X Factor: Celebrity, but her appearance was ruled out after she chose this whopping £75,000 pay cheque instead.
James Haskell – £50,000
Beefcake ex-England star rugby union star James Haskell will add some much-needed brawn to the team.
But he’s nowhere near the top of the rich list with his rumoured £50,000 cheque.
James, 34, is most famous for his time at Wasps FC and Northampton Saints, as well as pulling on the red rose jersey for Eddie Jones.
Roman Kemp – £40,000
Further down is DJ Roman Kemp, 26, with an estimated £40,000.
He hardly needs the money though as Roman currently presents a successful breakfast show on Capital FM between 6am-10am Monday to Friday and 6am-9am on Saturday mornings
His dad, Martin, was the bassist with 80s legends Spandau Ballet, while mum Shirlie Holliman was formerly a backing singer for George Michael‘s Wham!.
Myles Stephenson – £25,000
And propping up the table is singer Myles Stephenson, 28.
He makes up one quarter of boyband and X Factor 2017 winners Rak-Su – who were dropped by their record label this year.
It's thought he's being paid £25,000 for his appearance on the ITV show with Ant and Dec.
It's still not bad money seeing as he’s unlikely to last the full three weeks before being voted out by viewers.
Adele Roberts – £50,000
Adele, 40, is rumoured to have signed up for a cool £50,000 and hopes to make a better impression with fans than when she shot to fame on Big Brother in 2002.
The radio DJ starred on series three of the Channel 4 show with Jade in 2002, and was known for getting into rows with her fellow housemates.
Looking back, Adele said: "I carried a lot of guilt about the way I acted in Big Brother and I feel like I let myself down and I could have been a much nicer person.
"I’d like to show a better side to myself this time. To both the campmates in there by treating them better but also to come out and have a positive experience not a negative one."
