I'm A Celeb pay rule if contestant leaves early explained after Jamie Lynn Spears quits

How much do I'm a Celeb contestants get paid if they leave the jungle early? Do they get anything at all?

After Jamie Lynn Spears quit I’m A Celeb, many fans are no doubt wondering if she’ll still get her pay packet from appearing on the show.

The 32-year-old became the latest star to leave the jungle, following in the footsteps of food critic Grace Dent, who quit earlier this week on medical grounds.

It didn’t come as too much of a surprise to some viewers, with Jamie having previously admitted to having a 'tough' time on the show - especially because she was missing her kids, Maddie, 15, and five-year-old Ivey.

In a statement, a spokesperson for the show confirmed Jamie Lynn had to leave the show for health reasons.

"Jamie Lynn Spears has left I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! on medical grounds," the statement said.

"She's been a fantastic campmate who has triumphed at trials and bonded well with her fellow celebrities."

It was announced yesterday (29 November) that Jamie Lynn Spears had left the jungle.

With two celebs now back at home with their feet up, the inevitable question of whether or not they’ll be paid after leaving prematurely has cropped up - especially amid reports Nigel Farage is getting a whopping £1.5 million for his appearance.

While ITV is unlikely to ever reveal the exact details of I’m A Celeb pay, it’s believed that there’s a cut-off for contestants when it comes to getting to cash.

You see, they have to stay in the jungle for a minimum period of time before leaving, or they reportedly won’t get the big bucks.

According to The Mirror, campmates have to stay on the show for at least 72 hours to be given their fee in full.

If someone leaves before that point, their pay cheque will be cut.

However, as Jamie Lynn and Grace both lasted longer than this, it would seem they’ll still be entitled to the full amount.

Grace Dent has also left the show on medical grounds.

One celeb who was thought not to receive 100 percent of their pay was The Only Way Is Essex star Gemma Collins, who quit the show after only three days back in 2014.

At the time, it was rumoured the GC had been offered £100,000 for her time in the jungle, but a representative for the star later revealed that she didn't actually get it.

Speaking following her departure, the rep confirmed: "I can confirm that the £4,800 fee was the full and final fee that Gemma received for her participation in last year's I'm A Celebrity.

“The show is three weeks long and Gemma was in Australia for five days, therefore she will receive a percentage based on that.”

Gemma went on to donate the money in full to Save the Children.

LADbible Group has contacted ITV for comment.

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! airs on ITV Sunday to Friday at 9pm and Saturday at 9.30pm.
