Meanwhile, the Strictly winner will be paid £100,000.
Celebs can also make extra cash by signing up to the live tour, which takes place in the Spring the year after the series finishes.
Spice Girl Mel C previously claimed the pay for taking part in the show was not up to her standards as she told the Daily Star: "Strictly is really the only one of those shows that I would consider. I have had a meeting with them. They ask me every year to do it.
“The problem is if you do Strictly it’s so high profile and you’ll find yourself in the sidebar of shame every day. And the money’s s***!”
The Times has revealed that the exact amount the stars taking part in Strictly receive will be allowed to be kept secret after the new BBC chairman, Sir David Clementi. backed keeping a "pay loophole".

Brendan Cole – who reportedly earns around £35,000 – told Now magazine: "My money from Strictly just about pays the bills. I don’t have a car. I would like to get one, but until then I'm on the Tube. I don't even own my house. I can't afford it. I rent where I live."
But, fiery Bruno is not sympathetic to the dancers, saying in The Mirror: "Those are the terms of the negotiations. If you don’t like it, stop moaning and f**k off!"

Darcy Bussell also reportedly earns £110,000 for each series of the popular show, while new judge Shirley Ballas' pay is currently unknown.
Former head judge Len Goodman earnt £120,000 for his place on the panel, but the star made his last appearance on the show in December 2016.
