Celebrity Big Brother 2017: How much were the housemates paid? Stars’ fees REVEALED

All the celebrities go into the house on the proviso that they will be rewarded financially when they come out.

But exactly how much did this series’ stars get paid? And how does this compare to housemates from previous years?

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt

Married couple Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt entered the house for a second time this year after finishing as runners-up to Rylan Clark in 2013.

Competing as one housemate, Speidi are said to have earned £570,000 for their most recent stint in the Borehamwood bungalow, according to The Sun.

Ray J

Remember Ray J? Kim Kardashian’s famous ex-boyfriend who left the Celebrity Big Brother house in week one.

Before heading in, Ray was said to be the highest-paid housemate in the history of the show.

It was reported that the 35-year-old was being paid a massive £810,000 for his appearance as well as travel and hotel costs.

However, after quitting the show early after suffering from “extreme tooth pain”, questions have been raised over whether he will receive the full amount.

James Jordan

Ex-Strictly Come Dancing professional James Jordan was thrilled to return to Celebrity Big Brother after first appearing in the show in 2014.

The 38-year-old was said to have been rewarded handsomely as well, bagging a six figure sum for this year’s series, as reported by The Sun.

Jedward

John and Edward Grimes were paid half a million pounds for their first appearance in 2011.

Six years later, it is believed the twins, who emerged last night as runners-up, will have been paid even more than this to re-enter the house.

Coleen Nolan

Unlike its non-celebrity counterpart, the CBB winner does not receive a jackpot for their victory as well as an appearance fee.

However, as the victor, Coleen Nolan could earn up to seven-figures through endorsements, exclusive interviews and work gained after the series has ended.

“To win the show is like being giving validation that you have a huge fan base who are buying into you via vote lines, which is very enticing to endorsers, bookers and producers,” marketing expert Rob Cooper told The Mirror.

Christopher Biggins

Christopher Biggins was rumoured to have agreed to a £150,000 fee to appear on the 18th series of the show which began in July 2016.

However, after making an anti-semitic remark to Jewish housemate Katie Waissel, the I, Claudius actor was told to leave immediately.

It was first reported that Biggins would not receive any money for the nine days he stayed in the Borehamwood house but it is thought he will receive “less than half” of the original amount.

Express.co.uk has contacted a representative for Celebrity Big Brother regarding these reports.
