The News Of The World has revealed what each of this year’s Celebrity Big Brother housemates are being paid for the show’s final series. Top of the list is football hard man Vinnie Jones, who will earn £350,000 – twice what any housemate has ever been paid.
Cage-fighter Alex Reid will get £175,000, Hollywood star Stephen Baldwin is getting £150,000, actress Stephanie Beacham will earn £100,000, Ronnie Wood’s ex Ekaterina Ivanova banks £75,000 as will Basshunter and Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss.
Model Nicola T will earn £50,000, whilst Lady Sovereign and Dane Bowers are both on £35,000.
An insider revealed that some of the more lowly stars are furious that Vinnie is earning ten times their fee. He said:
“They don’t think Vinnie’s worth so much more than them. They say he hasn’t even done that much memorable film work, so he’s hardly the biggest star in the world.
“Some of them even think it’s wrong for Vinnie to be going in the house and getting paid at all considering his chequered past.”
