Social media star Angry Ginge was crowned King of the jungle on the 25th series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! and while he's sky rocketed to new levels of fame it turns out he actually lost out on a hefty chunk of money by going on the reality TV show.
One of the most fascinating things about I'm A Celeb has to be how much the celebrities are paid to go on the show. And what's wild is the highest-paid celeb to ever appear on the show was none other than politician Nigel Farage, who was reportedly paid £1.5 million for his jungle stint!
In 2025, the highest paid celebrity was reportedly Aitch, who's pay packet was just a fraction of Nigel's at £250,000. Angry Ginge, the winner of the show, is believed to have been paid a healthy £100,000 - however it's been said that if he had stayed at home he'd made more than that...
The streamer, who is a Red Bull and JD Sports ambassador, is said to have lost out on hugely lucrative brand deals in the run up to Christmas due to his time on I'm A Celeb.
"Ginge has lost hundreds of thousands of pounds coming on to this show, he didn't do it for him, he did it to make his mum proud," a source told the Daily Mail.
They added: "He missed out on all the brand deals on the run up to Christmas and a month of streaming."
While on the show, Ginge opened up about how his mum having to work multiple jobs to keep a life for him and sister growing up spurred him on in the jungle.
He said: "Even when I’m in here and it’s so tough for me mentally, I just think back to watching my mum get up for the first job. Then she’d finish that and go to a second job and then a third job and get home. If she can do it, I can do this in the jungle."
He might have missed out on hundreds of thousands of pounds for his time in the jungle, but he's set to receive a whole load more brand deals now that he's got such a huge audience.
A source has told the tabloids he's set to make as much as £5 million after his reality TV stint. They claimed: "Ginge is set to rake in excess of £5million in 2026 thanks to a wave of major brand deals, TV opportunities and commercial tie-ins coming his way.
"Red Bull have already re-signed him as an ambassador for next year – they absolutely love him. JD Sports, who have worked with him throughout 2025, are already looking to elevate their partnership with him to a much bigger level in 2026.
"And that’s just the start. There are multiple global brands in active discussions right now."
