I’m A Celebrity 2014: Will Gemma Collins ‘get paid in full’ despite leaving the jungle after THREE days?

The TOWIE star's PR slams reports that Gemma will take home her full paycheck.

Published on19 11 2014

Gemma Collins might actually be smarter than all of us. Guys, she’s pulled off pretty much the cleverest move in the history of reality television – cleverer even than Lauren Conrad and Brody Jenner’s Hills showmance– and for that she really deserves to have David Cameron leave 10 Downing Street and hand her the keys.

Because TOWIE’s Gemma, who up until last night was having an absolute blast in the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! jungle, has decided to quit after three days. And yet she’ll STILL get paid in full.

Yes, ITV’s rules state that contestants can take their full paycheck home with them if they manage to last 72 hours in the jungle – so Gemma’s actually done the bare minimum to reap the maximum rewards. Tell us that isn’t the smartest move you’ve ever heard.

How much will Gemma earn from I'm A Celebrity? Her total offer hasn't been disclosed, but it is thought to be less than £100,000 - a lot less than Michael Buerk's £150,000 packet. Gemma's already worth an estimated £1.1 million, but losing that amount of money would still make a big dent in her finances.

Catch up on ALL the drama tonight on I’m A Celeb at 9pm on ITV – and don’t forget to follow heatworld on Twitter to get all the latest updates.
