150 k on civilian BB. Is there money for the winner of CBB or do they just get their pre-arranged fee? And the assumption right or wrong that this will boost their career.

They just get there fee. That's to much for some of the housemates.

Bear winning will get about 10% of what Jason got for winning the civilian one, that's quite comforting for anyone who hates him and is worried he will win

Celebrity Big Brother used to be played for charity in the very beginning (red nose week). I wonder when that all fizzled out...?..

That does take the sting out of it a little.

On Channel 4 I think there was a prize fund for the series Bez won and definitely the year Chantelle won (she got £25k, although could have been because she was a non-celeb). In the later years, I seem to remember they had their fee doubled. That definitely happened with Ulrika anyway, but she might have had it written into her contract as she was the highest paid that year.

To be fair, he's probably about 10% of the man Jason was too.

Can you imagine the diary room door 'scene' with Jason instead of Lil bear?

If jason went off you'd probably need tranquiliser darts and an elephant gun

It was only the first one that was for charity
