Speaking about the findings, John Stirzaker, online consumer expert at NetVoucherCodes.co.uk said: “While many are aware that celebrities walk away with a big paycheck from taking part in the show, we’ve found the number to be quite staggering once broken down into an hourly rate.
“It’s one of the most popular shows for people to watch, drawing in over 7.5 million viewers across its latest season in 2021. No wonder celebrities are being paid big bucks to take part in the experience.
“Famous football legends and Eastenders icons have earned over £250,000 by being part of the show, even if they’re the first to be eliminated out of the line-up.”
