What do you get for winning I'm A Celeb as final three prepare to battle it out

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! can make or break careers in the spotlight but it can also earn the stars seven figures long after they've left the jungle.

This year either Nigel Farage, Tony Bellew or Sam Thompson will take the top prize after last woman standing Josie Gibson was booted out on the penultimate night.

It's been a series of high stakes and non-stop drama, with eliminated contestants revealing there were plenty of shocking scenes viewers didn't get to see including health struggles, camp evacuations and epic meltdowns.

The final three will be hoping that weeks of basic diet, gruelling jungle life and endless terrifying Bushtucker Trials will amount to them taking home the crown this year. With tonight's final due to kick off at 9pm on ITV glory awaits either failed politician Farage, sportsman Tony and reality star Sam - but what else do the winners get?

Unfortunately for the contestants who have already got their hands on their huge pay cheques there is no cash prize for winning I'm A Celebrity. However, the kick-backs can see them seriously cash in.

Whoever is crowned the winner can expect to make a fortune if they play their cards right. Just ask Jill Scott, who has really capitalised on her fame a year on from her brilliant triumph.

In the year that the show returned to Australia after two seasons in Wales, football star Jill was crowned the 2022 winner when the Lioness went up against soap star Owen Warner and shamed former health secretary Matt Hancock in the final.

Within days, was was confirmed to be joining Soldier Soldier star Robson Green in his new Weekend Escapes show. Since then it is understood she has earned over a million from her numerous advertising and sponsorship deals. She is also starring on Sky's League Of Their Own. She also been inducted into the National Football Museum English Hall of Fame.

She would have also earned well when she Gary Neville teamed up with Heineken to highlight sexism and gender bias when it comes to punditry. Jill of course also played a key role with ITV at the Women's World Cup - it's fair to say her decision to join I'm A Celebrity had paid off!

Harry Redknapp is also former champ we've seen a lot of and with various doors opening up for the former Portsmouth and Tottenham manager, he's been not regretted going in the jungle for a second. He was honest about it, too! Speaking to his former campmate Fleur East on her podcast The Reality of Reality TV, he divulged what persuaded him to say yes. “Because they paid me loads of money, Fleur," he admitted honestly.

The 2017 winner Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo is believed to have earned up to £1million after triumphing. She landed a role as a reporter on This Morning shortly after leaving the jungle and quit Made In Chelsea in August to focus on her burgeoning TV career. The reality star also landed her own fashion collection for online retailer Very.co.uk this spring.
