Shocking amount Coleen Rooney is allegedly being paid for I’m A Celeb appearance

It's been dubbed the 'biggest deal in I’m A Celebrity history'

We're just a handful of days away now until I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! finally hits our screens after what's felt like an eternity of waiting.

ITV dropped the official starting line-up, featuring the likes Coleen Rooney, McFly singer Danny Jones, Strictly Come Dancing legend Oti Mabuse, Loose Women star Jane Moore, Radio 1's Dean McCullough, N-Dubz legend Tulisa and boxing promoter Barry McGuigan.

The likes of Radio DJ Melvin Odoom, Coronation Street star Alan Halsall, and internet sensation GK Barry will also be joining the mix.

Now, while we are absolutely buzzing to watch this year's batch of celebs take on all the grizzly Bushtucker Trials and handle Ant and Dec's inevitable shenanigans Down Under, fans of the beloved TV show were also slightly confused over a major omission in the rundown.

In the rumoured line-up which came to light some weeks back - many I'm A Celeb fans were under the impression that Love Island icon, Maura Higgins, would also be joining the gang Down Under.

Additionally, the first line-up also saw former BBC radio host, Reverend Richard Coles, announced as one of the celebs set to take on the challenge this year and he was also missing from yesterday's cast photo.

However, any seasoned I'm A Celeb fans will know that the programme starts off with 10 contestants - the ones currently in the official line-up group photo - before the final two contestants join the rest of the stars as latecomers.

Last year's late arrivals were Italian jockey, Frankie Dettori, and former professional boxer, Tony Bellew, while 2022 saw Tory politician, Matt Hancock, and comedian Seann Walsh as the final two additions to the line-up.

So, I guess we'll simply have to wait to see if Maura - as well as the Rev - will grace our screens in the weeks to come.

Regardless, there's been a whole lot of hype surrounding Coleen - especially after the whole 'Wagatha Christie' scandal.

Speaking to press ahead of her arrival into Australia, the 38-year-old explained: "I have been in the public eye for over 20 years now and people take what they want from it.

"I do think people will get a better idea of what kind of person I am."

She also shared: "Over the years, there have been different things going on in my life and also, my children have been really young. But they are at an age now where I can go away for this length of time.

"I also feel it’s time to have a challenge for me and do something different. It has taken many, many years but I’m finally doing it. And I have always said if I was going to do one - then it would be this show. I think it will be good for me."

Coleen added that she wants to prove she's made of stronger stuff during her time on the reality show, insisting she hopes to remain in the I'm A Celebrity camp until the end.

"Why would I go in there and then want to come out after week one?" she teased. "I want to go as far as I can."

OK, but how much will Coleen be paid for her appearance on the show?

Coleen is the 'biggest deal in I’m A Celebrity history' and will reportedly rake in a staggering £5,000,000 for her stint on the show, per Metro, which is millions more than the still mammoth £1.5 million Nigel Farage got last year.

Tyla has reached out to ITV for comment.

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! is set to hit our screens this Sunday (17 November).
