Where has the contestent budget gone?

We are use to getting a couple of celebs that you just know demanded huge fees. David Guest, Katie Price, Janice Dickinson but I can't see where the budget will have gone on this lot.

Jordan Banjo? Joel Dommett? Sam Quik? Even the famous ones such as Carol and Wayne I can't imagine commanding a huge fee.

This must mean we have some big hitters coming in during the next few days.

Bigger names doesn't necessarily mean better contestants.

In fact most of the time the lower fee ones prove to be more entertaining 👍

Do you think Larry is on it this year because of Lady C last year?

They do seem to be scraping the barrel at bit this year don't they, I normally don't recognise one or two contestants but she I saw the line up this year I had no clue who quite a few of them were!

I disagree for me the bigger names are the ones that more often than not entertain most

Does it really matter? At least we aren't overrun with reality people from Towie etc like Celeb Big Brother is nowadays. I have heard of majority of the celebs in this year, I'm not bothered about ITV spending a fortune just on a name. Remember what happened with Pamela Anderson on Dancing on Ice, spent a fortune, she was going to be the major star and was voted off first or second.

I'm pleased with this year's line-up. I'd rather they had interesting celebs than spending oodles of cash on someone who'll go through the motions to try to get out first and access their cash asap.
I'm also pleased there's no Towie / Geordie Shore / Chelsea nonentities - IAC has in the past few years been overrun with this lot...

This^^^^ first time in years I've like everyone in the first show. A great opening show

No pretentious "stars" with sizeable egos. They all seem happy to be there
