Celebrity Turncoats' Earnings in UK Show Unveiled
Celebrity Traitors UK: BBC's New Reality Game Show Offers £40,000 Per Celebrity
The BBC's latest reality game show, Celebrity Traitors UK, is set to premiere in Autumn 2025, and it's making headlines for its impressive line-up of celebrities and their substantial fees[1][2][3]. Each celebrity participant is reportedly paid around £40,000 for their appearance[1][2][3], totalling at least £760,000 in total fees[3].
While this pay may seem substantial for a few weeks of filming, it is lower than earnings on some other UK reality shows like I'm a Celebrity... where certain contestants have earned over £1 million[2]. The newer Celebrity Traitors series features a mix of high-profile celebrities, including athletes, actors, singers, comedians, and presenters such as Tom Daley, Stephen Fry, Charlotte Church, Paloma Faith, and Jonathan Ross[2].
The reality game show will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, with presenters Clare Balding, Jonathan Ross, and Kate Garraway[4]. Comedians on the show include Lucy Beaumont, Joe Wilkinson, and Alan Carr[4]. The winner of Celebrity Traitors UK can win £100,000 for a charity of their choice[5].
Filming for Celebrity Traitors UK lasts a handful of weeks[6]. The reality game show is expected to be a major success[7]. Previous contestants on the show include the historian David Olusoga and athletes Tom Daley and Joe Marler[1][3].
It's worth noting that some celebrities have earned significantly more for their appearances on other reality shows. For instance, Coleen Rooney made over £1.5 million for her appearance on I'm a Celebrity[1]. Nigel Farage made exactly £1.5 million for his appearance on the same show[1]. On the other hand, Caitlyn Jenner and Harry Redknapp reportedly each made half a million from I'm a Celebrity[2].
