Anne Hegerty's I'm A Celebrity... pay revealed
The Chase star Anne Hegerty did I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! in 2018.
Anne Hegerty got paid £95,000 for doing I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! in 2018.
The 67-year-old quizzer has loved the perks that have come her way since she lived on basic rations in a critter-filled camp in Australia for 18 days on the ITV jungle survival show.
She told the new issue of Woman magazine: "I'm not sure if I'm supposed to say, but £95,000.
"My agent always says to me, 'Don't answer questions about money,' but it was £95,000."
Anne added: "For the first few days, I regretted it desperately, but I'm really glad that I did it. I'm paid a lot more money for panto now than I did, and generally, yes, it was definitely a good thing to have done.
"I suddenly started getting about four times as much work as soon as I came out of the jungle!"
The Chaser is glad she has done well for herself in life.
Anne said: "Being rich is definitely better. Basically, I can treat myself more. I have a service company, and I pay myself a salary out of that.
"I think I actually deserve a pay rise!
"I give myself an annual salary of £50,000, but that's running two homes because I live in Manchester, and I live in Watford, and that's paying bills in two places."
The star is not keen on sharing her joyous life with a special someone.
Asked if she is on the dating scene, Anne said: "No, I'm not, and I'm fine. I much prefer it [being single]."
And Anne will not follow her fellow Chase quizzer Mark "The Beast" Labbett, 60, in doing E4's Celebs Go Dating anytime soon.
She said: "They've never asked me, and I wouldn't do it.
"We got a joke out of it, though, in panto, where The Beast was very awkwardly trying to chat up Belle, and I had to come dancing on to the stage and say, 'Is that the time? We can't keep waiting! I haven't seen a beast flirting this badly since Celebs Go Dating.'
"And then added, 'Don't drink the candle,' which never once got a laugh."
