I'm a Celebrity... South Africa is back, bringing together some of the most iconic campmates for another stint in the jungle. Among the familiar faces are TOWIE's Gemma Collins, Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts, and Harry Redknapp. The series was filmed in 2025, and viewers are curious about the fees paid to the returning stars.
Former Premier League player Jimmy Bullard was reportedly 'furious' when he discovered he was being paid less than ex-football manager Harry Redknapp. Bullard earned around £100,000 for his 2014 appearance, while Redknapp was paid £500,000 for the 2018 series, making him one of the show's highest-paid contestants. A source claimed, 'Jimmy expected to be on the same page as Harry. However, Harry is considered one of the biggest names of the I'm A Celebrity... South Africa series.'
Adam Thomas received one of the lower fees during his first stint, while Ashley Roberts was reportedly paid a relatively strong fee compared with some of her fellow campmates. Beverley Callard, who joined during the Wales-based series, was reportedly paid £125,000. Craig Charles received a fairly standard fee for his time in the jungle.
Gemma Collins, who lasted just three days in 2014, reportedly received around £100,000. Since then, her profile has grown significantly, so it is widely assumed she would now command one of the higher appearance fees of any returning All-Stars contestant. Harry Redknapp's 2018 fee of £500,000 remains the fourth highest of all time, behind Coleen Rooney, Nigel Farage and Noel Edmonds.
