How long I’m A Celebrity campmates have to spend on show in order to get paid as first celebrities are voted out

Here is how long contestants on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! have to stay in the jungle before they receive their fee.

This year's edition of the popular ITV reality series is now well underway, with campmate Coleen Rooney reportedly the highest paid star on the show after agreeing to a whopping £1.5 million fee.

The seven-figure pay sees her come in joint first with politician Nigel Farage, who finished in third place last year.

Numbers for the rest of the cast haven't been confirmed, however, The Independent have estimated that campmates such as Tulisa, Barry McGuigan, GK Barry, and Dean McCullough may be earning anywhere from £50,000 to £200,000, depending on how well known they are.

But did you know campmates need to meet certain requirements in order to receive their fee?

According to numerous reports, celebrities are required to stick around in the jungle for three days in order to receive their money, with anyone who exits before the 72-hour mark forfeiting the cash.

This means that celebrities such as Olivia Attwood, who was famously forced to leave camp on medical grounds after just 24 hours, wouldn't have received any money from the show.

The Sun also reported that the three -ay rule was a factor in celebrities deciding whether or not to hang around in camp, as reality star Gemma Collins reportedly forced herself to remain on the show for three days.

This isn't the only unusual rule which contestants are expected to follow during their time on the show either: the entire point of heading into the jungle is to force celebrities to go back to basics.

As well as the infamous ban on make-up, campmates aren't allowed to bring in any recreational items, as who would want to watch a group of people sat around reading books and doing crosswords?

Luxury items aren't allowed either, with I'm A Celebrity... South Africa all-stars Gillian McKeith, Myleene Klass, and Paul Burrell facing the wrath of producers for attempting to smuggle in spices, mints, tea bags, and coffee.

Explaining the decision to prohibit such items, I'm A Celeb producer Olly Nash previously explained that depriving celebrities of their typical comforts is the whole point of the show.

"You wouldn’t have anything that could be distracting, part of this game is making sure that you are creating reality and having a chat with other people and doing stuff and dealing with the boredom," he explained.
