Former porn star Stormy Daniels who claims she slept with US president Donald Trump is highest paid contestant along with Emmerdale star Roxanne Pallet as both have signed deals worth £750,000.
Daniels fee is even more jaw-dropping as she is only going to stay in the house for a week.
Also signing big money deals are Coronation Street’s Ryan Thomas, who is bagging £500k, and ex-footballer Jermaine Pennant and psychic Sally Morgan both earning £200k for their time.
It comes amidst rumours this year’s show will be its last following its lowest ratings ever earlier this year.

Here the Sun’s Bizarre column breaks down all the contestants apparent pay cheques.
Stormy Daniels — £750k
Stormy, 39, is bagging the top fee despite only remaining in the house for one week after Channel 5 bosses couldn't afford her demands for the whole month of the show.
A source told The Sun Online "Big Brother's number one choice this season is definitely Stormy Daniels and I'm sure Donald Trump is furious.
"But now the cast has caught wind of the deal Stormy made for her stint on the show, and the number is mind boggling.
"Stormy made a deal with Celebrity Big Brother for a whopping £750,000 and she apparently won't be there for long, which makes no sense at all to the other contestants.”
Roxanne Pallet — £750k
The Emmerdale star, 35, will bag the massive earner when she enters the house tomorrow after a car crash at the Hunmanby Raceway in North Yorkshire while filming a segment for her radio breakfast show left her in hospital.
She is thought to be the top highest earner after Big Brother bosses have been desperately trying to get her to sign up for years.

Essex accountants FRP – the liquidators – are also pursuing a £323,000 loan that was taken out by the medium and her husband John, 70, and never repaid.
