Katie Price has reportedly agreed to appear on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here but will be paid a much higher fee than the other contestants.

The 31-year-old glamour model is reportedly being paid £350,000 and will appear much later in the show than the other contestants who are getting around £65,000 each.

A friend of one of the contestants said to UK newspaper 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.”

Katie, who has already appeared on the show in its 2004 series, is said to be breaking up the trip by flying to LA first to appear on a US show before making the final journey to Australia.
