Nicola McLean and Carly Zucker Rumble In The Jungle

There's a rumble in the jungle before I'm A Celeb has even started, and it's about money - now there's a surprise.

Nicola McLean has found out that her £7,500 ($12,750) wage is a mere pittance to what Dani Behr is getting. Dani is receiving £40,000 ($79,900).

Nicola is non to pleased, well actually she's furious and very jealous. Of course the thing is that she agreed to the contract a while back so hard cheddar. She's not exactly a big name and actually admitted, "Yes, I know I'm not a celebrity." See Introducing Nicola McLean.

There is obviously a range of salaries for the celebs based on what the producers see as their worth. Examples: Carly Zucker is on £10,000, Martina Navratilova £30,000, Esther Rantzen £25,000, Robert Kilroy Silk £15,000 and George Takei £20,000.

It seems that Carly Zucker sided with Nicola and had to be persuaded to stay. The producers emphasised how the I'm A Celeb exposure could possibly land her many lucrative deals. And surely this is why these celebs go on the show in the first place. They've seen what it's done for others.

There are topless photos of Nicola McLean on CelebTease,com - over 18's only.

One I'm A Celebrity Drop Out Plus Danni Behr

The gossip is that Jimmy Pursey has pulled out of I'm A Celebrity Get me Out Of Here before it's even started. It seems he didn't like being stereotyped as a trouble making punk.

Another name mentioned, in additon to those mentioned in the previous post, as heading for the jungle is Dani Behr (also aka Danni/Danny Behr). Guess she needs a career boost.

The producers like to cause speculation to boost the publicity for the show and there are often a few red herrings thrown out.

It will be interesting to see, when the line up is officially published, how accurate the gossip and rumours have been.
