I may be wrong but Kate is on network television for 2 hours a day 5 days a week... what exactly are Alex and Jade doing????
One year later from the end of BB3 and all i've heard of Alex is on LBC 97.3 once a week for 5 minutes talking about BB4 and Jade has had a baby....
What are Alex and Jade doing for Kate not to stand them? ”
I don't recall exactly what Kate was purported to get for her RI:SE deal but I'm guessing a year of it probably equates to the 3 figure sum that Alex received for his one day's work on the Domestos ads.
How good for him was that overall too - he is still referring to it - he was on Loose Women on ITV, Fri, they made a joke of the bleach by presenting him with a bottle and he was laughing at himself, "I'd like to thank my family for this......" etc etc - excellent. Laughing all the way to the bank.
Aside from his years' earnings in one day and everything else he has done since on which I'm sure I do not need to elaborate, I would also assume that Alex has received considerably more financial reward than Kate per week during BB for his reporting on lbc 3 times a week and his column for Now.
In addition to his other TV appearances throughout for example Friday ITV Loose Women ( three quarters of the whole show with Fed on for the last quarter, Alex's second appearance - they like him) and Celebdaq for the whole show in the evening (also his second appearance, they like him too).
Edit - actually his third appearance, he was at the party a few weeks ago, was interviewed and constantly asked for his opinion throughout.
Alex has chosen very wisely, as with Jade, he has maximised his earnings for the minimum work.
Kate meanwhile gets up at some ungodly hour in the middle of the night and suffers the indignity of the awful RI:SE for probably relatively little remuneration knowing C4/RI:SE and their pay.
I actually do think that Kate has improved, has more confidence and is beginning to hold her own against Ian who to me is becoming more irritating by the week - not sure I would put her remotely in the professional category yet but I have found her more amusing recently.
However if we look at the hours on network television as per your post / financial gain, I would say that Alex comes out of that considerably better and has a damn good life too.
Good choices.
