The price to pay !!!
Was just thinking of how much it must cost ITV to stage this series,
1st: Ant & Dec wages. 2nd: The fee paid to the celebrities going in the jungle. 3rd: The cost of all the families flying out to Aus, putting them all up in the 5***** hotel, giving most of them up to a nice 2/3 week holiday. 4th: All the crew, extras, not forgetting the critters & bugs. It must exceed hundreds of thousands, I reckon it would be better to get evicted out early and enjoy the luxury of the hotel.

plus the cost of hiring the land and building the sets... plus the no doubt sky-high insurance costs...
Still, I expect Aunt Bessie pays for most of it.

Exactly, that must cost a fair packet I'll wager ![]()

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the 'jungle' is a permanent set booked out all year by different countries. The UK Celeb team have it for the same 3 weeks every year, there's a week off and then another country has it booked for their tv company to come in and film their version of the Celeb, another week off and then rinse, repeat. I can't remember where I read that though. The same article also featured a similar place in South America (maybe Costa Rica) used by national tv companies for the same thing. i think it said the USA version of Celeb was filmed there.

What a chore to sit through all those adverts when you only want to see the bit you missed. Similarly the BBC spend £millions on Strictly. |

Does anyone ever wonder of money changes hands from agents who wants extra screen time for their clients?
