I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! is finally back, with a whole new cast of stars that you may or may not have heard of.

This year’s line-up is as varied as ever, ranging from champion athletes to award-winning presenters and professional dancers. But which contestant is making the big bucks?

Below is a run-down of 2020’s contestants, ranked by their reported net worths.

Giovanna Fletcher: £5 million

The 35-year-old comes out on top of this years’ contestants, boasting a net-worth of £5m, according to Networthlist.org. As well as being a best-selling author, Fletcher is perhaps best known as the presenter of the Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast, a show which earlier this year featured Kate Middleton’s first ever podcast interview.

Hollie Arnold: Unknown

Arnold is reportedly worth anywhere between £1m – £5m. However, the numbers are still “under review” by most net worth databases. The 26-year-old, who was awarded an MBE in 2017 for services to field athletics, became the youngest ever field athlete to compete in the Paralympics or Olympics in 2008 aged 14.

Jordan North: Unknown

There are few reports on North’s estimated net worth. The BBC Radio 1 presenter has quickly become a crowd favourite this season with both fans and campmates. North was voted to be the first camp leader of this year’s I’m a Celeb.

Beverley Callard: Unknown

It remains unclear how much Callard is worth, however, according to Heart.co.uk the actor could have earned up to £200,00 a year starring in Coronation Street.  Callard began her stint as Liz McDonald on the soap in 1989. She left the series last year to pursue other projects, having also taken a break in 2016 to deal with clinical depression. Her final Coronation Street scenes will air in 2021. The 63-year-old is thought to have been paid £125,000 for appearing on I’m a Celeb.
