What does the winner of I’m A Celebrity get?
The winner of I’m A Celebrity gets…. nothing.
But, they get the prestigious title of King or Queen of the Jungle, after being voted for by the public
For the I’m A Celebrity… South Africa spin-off all stars series they get awarded a different title and the viewers don’t vote for the winner either
Speaking to ITV’s Lorraine, hosts Ant and Dec explained more about how it worked.
Ant said: “It’s slightly different to the show we do in Australia because they go head to head in trials and whoever loses leaves.
“It’s quite brutal, so that’s how we decided the winner.”
Dec added: “So, they’re competing to become the first ever I’m A Celebrity ‘Legend of the Savanna’… It’s very special.”
Does the winner of I’m a Celebrity get more money?
The celebs agree a pay package before they enter the camp which can be anywhere between £30,000 and £500,000.
Unlike Strictly where all the stars get the same amount of money to take part, campmates on I’m A Celebrity can demand a fee.
In 2020 Olympian Mo Farah was reported to have pocketed a whopping £300,000 for appearing on the show while professional dancer AJ Pritchard was estimated to have banked a lower fee of £50,000.
Caitlyn Jenner also reportedly banked £500,000.
Who was the first winner of I’m a Celebrity?
Radio DJ Tony Blackburn won the first series of I’m a Celebrity in 2002.
He defeated the late socialite Tara Palmer-Tomkinson and author Christine Hamilton to pick up the gong of King of the Jungle.
A firm favourite from the start, Tony and Tara both managed to remain safe from the public vote throughout their two week stay.
He took part in three trials during his time in the jungle – the Sneaky Snake Run (winning 2/6 stars), the spider web (winning 3/4) and the final trial with Tara, which he completed successfully.
