I'm a Celebrity's Angry Ginge forced to return prize and won't get any cash
Angry Ginge earns an estimated £100,000 appearance fee but must return the crown and sceptre, as the show pays contestants for participation rather than awarding a cash prize.
- Angry Ginge won the I'm a Celebrity finale on Sunday, December 7, beating Tom Read Wilson and Shona McGarty and succeeding Danny Jones from McFly.
- The show's rules mean the winner receives no separate cash prize, as payments are pre-arranged appearance fees ranging from tens of thousands to over 1m, Liverpool Echo reports, guaranteed if contestants stay 72 hours.
- Presented with a flower crown and wooden sceptre, Angry Ginge must hand the items back before leaving Australia, a practice former winner Sam Thompson said left him with `nothing to show`.
- Angry Ginge is believed to be pocketing 100,000 for his appearance, while Shona McGarty earns around 95,000 and Tom Read Wilson between 60,000 and 80,000, reports say.
- After the final, Angry Ginge told viewers `I didn't do it to become King.` and added on This Morning, `I didn't get to keep anything. They wouldn't let me keep anything,` while Sam Thompson, former winner, said he had `nothing to show`.
