Peter Andre talks to re-enter the I'm A Celebrity, this week has seen a surprising turn in events as his ex-wife Katie Price has announced that she will be returning to the show for this year’s series of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. However the glamour model has already succeeded in getting the backs of her fellow contestants up after it was revealed that she will receive 5 times more money for appearing on the show.Other I’m A Celebrity contestants this year include ex-Eastender Lucy Benjamin, Kim Woodburn from Kim and Aggie “How Clean Is Your House” fame, former glamour girl Sam Fox, Strictly Come Dancing’s Camilla Dallerup, and home makeover couple Justin Ryan and Colin McAllister amongst other. All of which are reported to be receiving in the region of £65,000 each to appear on the show, whereas Katie Price has signed deal which will see her bring home £350,000 from her stint in the jungle.
A friend of one of the contestants spoke out about the massive contrast in pay deals saying, “This is really taking the mick. We were pushing for more cash but were told things were tight this year. Now we know why.” ITV knows Katie is a ratings winner and her presence on the show will boost its profile no end, hence the massive pay-out.
Despite the lucrative deal, Katie won’t even enter the jungle until a week after the other contestants. The reason for the delay is said to be because the mum of three had prior commitments in the US, unofficially it’s been rumoured that’s she’s stopping off in LA to top up on Botox before her TV stint.
On her last outing on the ITV show in 2004, Katie met Peter Andre whom she married later that year.
