Heart-Warming Friendship with Sam Thompson
Boxer Tony Bellew is on track to make an astonishing £3 million following his stint on the hit reality show I’m A Celebrity. Bellew, 41, captured the hearts of viewers with his close bond with fellow contestant Sam Thompson, eventually finishing in second place.
From the Jungle to the Bank
Despite being a latecomer to the show, Bellew proved himself in the Bushtucker Trials and made it all the way to the final. Now, it seems that his decision to face his fears and enter the jungle will pay off in a big way. Industry experts predict that Bellew could see a £3 million increase in his bank account over the next year.
Universal Appeal and Commercial Opportunities
According to Professor Jonathan Shalit OBE, agent to some of the UK’s biggest stars and chairman of InterTalent, Bellew’s popularity could lead to numerous lucrative deals. Shalit believes that brands and commercial opportunities will be lining up to work with the boxing ace and estimates that he could earn over £10 million in the coming years.
A National Treasure
Shalit describes Bellew as the “revelation” of this year’s I’m A Celebrity, stating that he has become a national treasure with a global following. The agent also highlights the potential for new fans to discover Bellew’s achievements outside of the boxing world.
A Surprise Journey Down Under
During an appearance on Good Morning Britain, Bellew revealed that he initially had reservations about joining the show. However, a close friend convinced him that it would be an opportunity for people to see a different side of him beyond his boxing career. Bellew expressed gratitude for the support and shared that he believes people now appreciate him for who he truly is.
