David Haye reveals staggering five figure sum IAC stars were paid a DAY

David Haye has spilled the beans on his time on I’m A Celebrity South Africa in an exclusive chat

I’M A Celebrity’s cast are raking in as much as £25k a DAY, according to David Haye.

The heavyweight champ has revealed the staggering pay cheque as he opened up on his time in camp and hit back at viewers’ complaints over his strong opinions and behaviour towards other campmates.

But he insists he has no regrets.

Revealing the figure, David said: “It’s probably £20,000-25,000 per day for being in that jungle.

“So to get up and do some trial or doing whatever… How is that hard? It’s not hard. I’ve had really hard fights for no money whatsoever.

“I’ve grown up in gyms where we fight each other.

“I thought I’m A Celebrity was great, I’d do it again, it’s good fun, I enjoyed it.

“I genuinely had some amazing connections with everybody and I enjoyed their company, all of them.

“We had a nice time. It was a really nice group of people.

“They cranked the trials up in terms of how tough they were and the amount of cockroaches they’d pour over your head or the questions they’d ask you.

“It was all a lot harder than I remember – It was the questions. Any trial that requires me knowing any sort of trivial Adele song, spinning me round and round in a machine, asking me about Adele songs, I couldn’t think of one now.”

Now the whole cast will reunite at the live finale on Friday – which Jimmy Bullard has now confirmed he will attend.

And – against all odds, despite the reaction – it sounds like David’s looking forward to it.

He said: “This has been the real David. Whether you think I’m the sexist or a bully, that’s your opinion, from a TV show that’s been edited.

“If they think that, then good luck to them, I don’t really care.”

I’m A Celebrity continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1.
