Nigel Farage: Highest Paid Star in I’m A Celebrity History
Nigel Farage made headlines as the highest-paid star in the history of I’m A Celebrity. Reports suggest that he received a staggering £1.5 million for his appearance on the show. This payment surpasses the previous record held by presenter Noel Edmonds, who received £600,000 in 2018.
