FFS.... can they not lay off the manipulation for even one day!

So Bear is the lowest is he... diddums... we'd better all vote for him to win now then hadn't we so he has a chance of making some money once CBB is over...

I would say do they really think we are that stupid... but as many are still watching...

So if the £100K is going straight to the debt administrators why do it ?
Maybe he did it just for the CBB experience , in which case fair play.

They should have kept their £12000 - I'm sure Bear would have paid them to let him appear on CBB.

As always there's been much speculation and reports over how much they're all getting paid and the figures, at least as reported, seem to be varied.
Christopher Biggins is said to have scooped the biggest pay check with a fee of £150,000.
Samantha Fox is understood to have agreed a undisclosed "six figure sum", potentially making her the second highest paid of this year's housemates.
Perhaps surprisingly, Anthea Turner's ex Grant Bovey is also said to be getting paid quite a bit with a rumoured fee of £100,000.

The host of reality stars in the house - such as Geordie Shore's Marnie Simpson and Ex On The Beach's Stephen Bear - are believed to be getting a lot less with five-figure sums.

Storage Hunter Colin Newell aka Heavy D is said to be the lowest paid of the lot, but could still enjoy a five-figure payout.”

£555.55????

Agree and not a fan of his but he certainly will not be forgotten like most of the others.

As I said, it depends upon whether he has a bankruptcy where he has to give all his available assets at time of bankruptcy and gets to keep anything afterwards, or whether he has agreements to pay back certain debts which couldn't be covered by the bankruptcy.

I also read that he's trying to get his ex wife to keep some money or something, some kind of fiddle to do with the sale of their house.

It all sounds a bit murky Maybe HMRC asked CBB producers to get him on the show to entrap him (I'm kidding - maybe )

I couldn't stand Grant but I was fascinated at his attempts to woo Marnie and her playing him like a fishy . He was starting to get stroppy over her and lewis getting cosy and I wanted to see him trying to handle it . I've long suspected that he's the volatile type and I believe the Bear situation would trigger a temper tantrum had he stayed in .

That's peanuts compared to others!”

I've seen the £12k figure in a Huffpost article too, but Tellymix reckoned that Heavy D was being paid the least. No one actually quotes what Colin is supposed to be getting though. (Or Katie for that matter.)

These days CBB is a minor TV show with a relatively small audience. They simply wouldn't have the budget to pay the huge fees being quoted

These figures are thrown out there by the celebrity's agents, in an attempt to create the illusion that their client's 'value' is much higher than it actually is”

I'm inclined to agree.

"“Unlike Celebrity Big Brother, housemates are not paid to participate as they have a chance of winning £100,000,” the rep commented.

Although C5 may not have shelled out CBB-style fees, all Big Brother housemates are paid a nominal stipend to cover their day-to-day expenses (such as rent and bills) while they are on the show."”

Tweedle dum and Tweedle dee on the Secrets and Lies series talked about the fee on several occassions. They were cock a hoop that they were going to get about 2K I think it was, having survived the whole series. So it seems to be about £20 per day.

Compared to that Jonathan bloke she was underpaid. Or did he forfeit his fee by pissing off.

I think she was just hitting out, I doubt she knows unless he's said.
