Dancing On Ice’s highest paid stars revealed including US celeb who cost £1k a SECOND
THE celebrity ice-skating show has dished out some eye-popping fees to it’s star-studded cast.
The ITV skating competition has another sparkling line-up of celebrity contestants, professionals and judges just around the corner, for the 2024 series of the show.
But just how much are their showbiz cast getting paid?
One of the highest paid stars on the show was none other than Towie favourite, Joey Essex.
Joey, who is best known for his role on the Essex-based reality show and as a contestant on I’m A Celebrity, reportedly took home an eye-popping sum of £49,400.
The star was a runner-up on the show, with his reported fling with skating-partner Vanessa Bauer kicking off just weeks after he was spotted snogging Love Island star Maura Higgins.
He and his dance partner were circled by rumours that they were secretly dating during his time on the show.
A backstage source told The Sun at the time of their ‘friendly’ relationship: “A number of people saw Joey and Vanessa kissing.”
They added: “But there was nothing friendly about these kisses, if you get what I mean.”
EastEnders legend Patsy was one of the most accomplished stars amongst the show’s countless contestants.
She is best known for playing the role of Bianca Butcher on the BBC soap and during her time in the spotlight has amassed an enviable net worth of over £9.3million.
Patsy reportedly raked in a cool £100,000 for starring on the popular programme.
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu became the highest-paid Love Island star in Dancing On Ice history in 2023.
The Turkish beauty snagged an unbelievable six-figure fee to sign onto the skating show.
A TV insider said of the shocking payday: “Bosses were desperate to sign Ekin-Su, so they paid her £100,000 to sign on the dotted line.
“As a comparison, Love Island stars would normally command something in the region of £30-50k for the show, so this is a huge deal for Ekin-Su.
” Producers felt she was well worth every penny though – she is one of the most popular winners in Love Island history, winning with a landslide of votes, she’s got a great personality and she’s stunning to boot so they’re confident her cheque will be reflected in the ratings.”
It was earlier in the show’s life-span though that fee expectations were incredibly surpassed.
None other than iconic Baywatch star Pamela Anderson was paid an amazing £150,000 in 2013.
The beloved actress was voted out first on the eight edition of the show, after skating with partner Matt Evers.
ITV reality shows like I’m A Celebrity and Dancing On Ice do not release the exact salaries of the contestants to the public.
Salaries for those who take part in the show are reportedly between £20,000 and £100,000.
