Stephen Mulhern has said it would take £3million to appear on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here – and we don’t blame him!

The 44-year-old said that he’s so terrified of the eating challenges that it would take a big paycheck to even consider joining the show.

The TV presenter – who appears alongside Ant and Dec on Saturday Night Takeaway – seems like an ideal choice, as the banter between the trio would make for great television.

But Stephen said I’m A Celebrity is the only show that would break him.

‘I’ve never been asked on the jungle, but they know what I’m like, and I don’t know if you’re aware, but in terms of eating I’ve got a very, very plain palette and the thought of putting stuff in my mouth… I don’t know if I could do it,’ he told The Mirror.

‘I think that show is the only thing that could break me, because the idea of doing the stunts and the heights and the jumping out of a plane, that would have to be top dollar to even consider it.’

He added: ‘How much are we talking for me to do it? I can’t believe we are talking about this but how about £3million and I’ll do it?! Alright if you can get half that I’m in!’

Even though receiving £3million to appear on one season of a TV show would be the dream, it’s unlikely this will ever happen.

So far the highest-paid celebrity is Noel Edmonds, who reportedly charged £600,000 in 2018.

Caitlyn Jenner and Harry Redknapp weren’t too far behind, each with a fee of £500,000.

Amir Khan was previously the highest-paid celebrity in the history of the show when he was on in 2017. ITV reportedly splashed £400,000 on his appearance.

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! returns to ITV later this year.
