Crissy Rock has slammed the ‘obscene’ amounts of money the ‘greedy’ I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! stars are being paid this year as she joined MailOnline’s Jungle Confidential podcast.
The actress, 64, – who was a contestant on the 2011 series of the show – fumed that ‘some people can’t even pay their electricity bills’ while the TV stars pocket thousands for just a few weeks work.
It has been reported that Boy George was paid £500,000 for his time on the show while former Health Secretary Matt Hancock will pocket £400,000 and Mike Tindall will leave with £265,000.
Not happy:Â Crissy Rock has slammed the ‘obscene’ amounts of money the ‘greedy’ I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! stars are being paid this year as she joined MailOnline’s Jungle Confidential podcast
Speaking about the amount they’re being paid she said:Â ‘We didn’t get much money to go on back in my day. When I went in I had nothing to prove – I didn’t go in to win.Â
‘We never got anything like that money they have now. You have to give half of your wages back to the Australian government.
‘I got £28,000 but only took away £14,000 – I think with them now being paid more – it is greed, it’s obscene when people can’t even pay their electricity.’
Woah! It has been reported that Boy George (pictured) was paid £500,000 for his time on the show while former Health Secretary Matt Hancock will pocket £400,000 and Mike Tindall will leave with £265,000
Radio legend Chris Moyles will pocket £200k, while Seann Walsh will collect a pay check for £130k.Â
Love Island’s Olivia Attwood will receive £125k, while Sue Cleaver will walk away with £115k.
The reality star left fans shocked after being forced to quit the jungle on medical grounds after 24 hours but is reportedly still being paid the full amount.Â
Next up is retired England Lioness Jill Scott who is earning £100k from her appearance.

Charlene White’s contract for being on the show is £75k, while Scarlette Douglas and Babatunde Aleshe’s is £65k.
Hollyoaks star Owen Warner will take home £60k, finishing off the £2.1million budget spent on the I’m A Celebrity line-up this year – one of the biggest bills in the show’s 20-year history.
The I’m A Celebrity cast this year are the richest yet, with a combined net worth of over £76 million, according to reports.Â
Payday! Late arrival and former Health Secretary Matt Hancock, 44, will pocket £400k from appearing on the show – which he is thought to be giving to charityÂ
Royalty: Mike Tindall is the third highest paid celebrity in the jungle this year and will leave with £265k
Boy George tops the list at a predicted £43.8m while Mike, 44, married to the King’s niece Zara Phillips, follows with an eye-watering £15.7m.
Chris Moyles, 48, reportedly boasts £8m, with Olivia Attwood, 31, sitting on £1.2m. Jill Scott, 35, and Sue Cleaver, 59, are also thought to be millionaires.
A source recently insisted the cast haven’t signed up for the ITV reality show due to being short of cash.Â
They told The Sun: ‘People think stars only sign up to I’m a Celebrity for the money but a lot of this year’s contestants are already rolling in it. Forget the money, they want the memories.’
Fuming: She said: ‘I got £28,000 but only took away £14,000 – I think with them now being paid more – it is greed, it’s obscene when people can’t even pay their electricity’
Elsewhere in her podcast chat Crissy admitted she feels like the stars this year are a little two-faced.
She explained: ‘They’re all a little bit too faced aren’t they! And it’s coming across. They’re talking to people going ‘oh hi we’re friends’ and then we’re walking off and calling them stuff!’
Crissy also had plenty of opinions on Matt being in the jungle, saying his appearance is a ‘slap in the face for everyone in the country.
She explained:Â ‘Personally I’m not into politics but I thought it was a slap in the face for everybody in the country when he went in. And the way it’s going he could actually win, he’s good at all the trials and he’s took it all on the chin.Â

‘If it was me in there I would have said I’m not talking to you because I wouldn’t be too faced about it.
‘People were dying on their own it was horrible and so to put him in that spotlight – it was a slap in the face for everyone in the country who lot people, lost jobs and lost homes when they were partying.’
When asked if she liked him more after he won stars and brought back meals she said: ‘No! It’s a bit like when your auntie who you don’t like goes to ASDA and gets a few bits and you’re like ‘ah ta!’.
The other big controversy this year has been a sexism row after Charlene White, Sue Cleaver and Scarlette Douglas were the first three to be voted out by the public.
Honest: Speaking about the amount they’re being paid she said: ‘We didn’t get much money to go on back in my day. When I went in I had nothing to prove – I didn’t go in to win’
She said on the matter:Â ‘The women my year went out early too and they were doing shower scenes. But maybe people are looking for real people and not ones like that!’
‘Maybe Charlene, Sue and Scarlette weren’t pulling their weight. Maybe the public wanted them out so they could see what the others could do.Â
‘I would love Jill to win. That first trial was amazing when she just walked out onto the plank like she was crossing a road, there was no fear just sheer power.
‘She seems to lovely and does deserve to win.’
On who she wants in the final Crissy added: ‘I like Owen, he was an airhead but he’s not he’s such a gentle soul. I like Jill but I would boo the TV if Matt won!’Â
I’m A Celebrity will air every night of the week and both weekend nights after the launch – all at 9pm.Â
Appearance: Love Island’s Olivia Attwood will receive £125k, while Sue Cleaver will walk away with £115k
