The trouble started when some of the ‘talent’ realised that they were being paid five times less than their counterparts.

The Daily Mail has reported that former glamour model Nicola McLean, 24, is furious that her £7,500 wage is five times less than the £40,000 that 34-year-old rival Dani Behr is being paid.

And WAG Carly Zucker, is said to have sided with McLean as she is earning just £10,000, compared to Esther Ranzten’s £25,000. She threatened to walk off before she even started the show, but was persuaded to stay when the executives told her how much she could earn from magazine deals afterwards.

I don’t know why this useless pair are bothering complaining. In my mind they are lucky to have gotten on the show in the first place. It is after all titled ‘I’m A Celebrity, get Me Out Of Here.’ Not I’m an unknown wannabe get me out of here!

George Takei is earning only £20,000, a paltry amount when you consider how much he must have earned for his recent role in US Sci Fi TV show, Heroes and how many millions he has amassed from his time playing Mr Sulu in the original Star Trek series.

I think these girls should count their lucky stars and get on with their spray tans, teeth whitening and whatever other essential preparations they have lined up before they enter the jungle camp!
