How much Kyle knocked back when asked to appear on I'm A Celebrity
Kyle Sandilands has revealed the eye-watering salary he was offered to appear in the upcoming season of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!.
On Thursday morning the radio shock jock announced that he turned down the seven-figure offer because it wasn’t enough money.
“They offered me one million dollars and the ability to smoke whenever I wanted but I’d have to be hidden,” he said.
Although the deal was similar to what was offered to Shane Warne when he appeared in 2016, Sandilands declined because it was only half of what the cricket legend received.
“I said, ‘Warnie got two [million]’ and they were like, ‘Well that’s Warnie,” he explained, to which he responded “Well forget about it then”.
He also added that besides the money, he had already signed on to appear as a judge for Channel Seven’s Australian Idol.
“They would’ve had an issue with it as well,” he added.
The discussion came after a live on-air chat with Woody Whitelaw, who is a confirmed cast member for this season’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!.
Whitelaw has suggested that he was offered around $80,000 and $150,000 to appear on the show, which is what drew out Sandilands' boast over his million-dollar offer.
“P**s off!” Whitelaw exclaimed, “You got the Warnie deal!”
Not quite! But now we may never know if the full offer would have been enough to entice Sandilands into the jungle.
