The stars of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! 2025 are preparing to face their jungle fears, but their financial situations couldn't be more different. This year's line-up brings together pop royalty, soap legends, and internet sensations, each with vastly different fortunes.
While campfire conversations might focus on survival, the significant wealth disparities between contestants are impossible to ignore. From established millionaires to rising stars building their wealth, some celebrities have far more to gain from the jungle payday than others.
From Online Fame to Fortune
Starting at the bottom of the financial ladder is Angry Ginge, whose estimated £1.1 million fortune seems modest compared to his campmates. The 23-year-old has transformed his online presence and viral spat with darts prodigy Luke Littler into a thriving career.
His income streams include £50,000 monthly from Twitch, where he boasts one million subscribers, plus an additional £300,000 annually from YouTube and sponsorships. A notable £200,000 payday from Soccer Aid has further boosted his growing wealth.
Close behind is comedian Eddie Kadi with £1.2 million. His earnings come from multiple sources, including £50,000 per tour and a £100,000 profile boost following his 2023 Strictly Come Dancing appearance and Netflix specials. Additional income flows from MCing live events and lucrative voiceover work.
Established Careers and Soap Royalty
Former footballer turned pundit Alex Scott sits comfortably with £1.8 million. Her fortune comes primarily from her £400,000 BBC and Sky Sports punditry role, supplemented by hosting The One Show, an Adidas sponsorship deal, and royalties from her 2022 memoir How Not To Be Strong.
Music legend Martin Kemp has accumulated £3.2 million through his diverse career. While he didn't write Spandau Ballet's hits, he still receives healthy royalties from their success. His acting stint on EastEnders as Steve Owen, current DJ career, Celebrity Gogglebox appearances, and published books have all contributed to his substantial wealth.
Tied at £3.5 million are comedian and mental health advocate Ruby Wax and BRIT-winning rapper Aitch. Ruby commands £100,000 per mental health tour and has earned £300,000 from her bestselling bipolar memoirs, plus royalties from Absolutely Fabulous.
Aitch's fortune comes from his one billion Spotify streams, generating £1 million annually from tours with an extra £500,000 from merchandise and collaborations with artists like Ed Sheeran.
The Millionaire Elite
Lisa Riley's long-running role as Mandy Dingle in Emmerdale since 1995 has helped her build a £4 million fortune. Her estimated £250,000 soap salary and residuals combine with £200,000 from Loose Women appearances and £100,000 from body positivity books and tours.
After 15 years playing Whitney Dean in EastEnders, Shona McGarty has amassed £5.5 million. She reportedly still receives £200,000 annually in residuals, supplemented by Dancing on Ice appearances and theatre tours.
Model and presenter Kelly Brook boasts £7.5 million, accumulated since beginning her modelling career at 16. Her current income includes £300,000 for hosting on Heart Radio, with Loose Women appearances and lingerie lines adding another £500,000 to her coffers.
Topping the rich list is Jack Osbourne with an impressive £11 million. The rock royalty first found fame on his family's reality show The Osbournes in 2002 and has since built a successful media career producing and hosting his own shows. His fortune includes reality TV residuals, his MS podcast, and wellness ventures.
As these celebrities face bush tucker trials and jungle hardships, their financial motivations for participating vary dramatically. While some are securing their future, others are simply adding to already substantial fortunes.
