Katie Price will reportedly be paid five times more than the other I'm A Celebrity contestants despite arriving in the jungle a week later than them. The Sun has claimed that the glamour girl will get £350,000 while the other celebs will be paid around £65,000 each. A friend of one of the contestants told The Sun: "This really is taking the Mick. We were pushing for more cash but were told things were tight this year. Now we know why. "If ITV are looking for trouble in the jungle, they will certainly get it once she turns up." Former EastEnders star Lucy Benjamin, How Clean Is Your House host Kim Woodburn, TV presenter pair Colin McAllister and Justin Ryan and Strictly Come Dancing's Camilla Dallerup will join Jordan for the show. Page 3 model Sam Fox and singer Sabrina Washington will also be tackling life in the jungle as well as sports stars Jimmy White and Colin Hendry.
