View Full Version : Ulrika's in Big Brother (NOTW reveals line-up)

TELLY beauty Ulrika Jonsson is getting a staggering £175,000 for her stint on Celebrity Big Brother—causing a storm among the other housemates who are on MUCH less.
Ulrika’s gigantic paypacket, for up to three weeks’ work, is EIGHT-AND-HALF TIMES as much as former A1 singer Ben Adams, who will get a comparatively measly £20,000.
And it’s nearly SIX TIMES more than Shameless actress Tina Malone and rapper Coolio, who get £30,000 each for the series starting Friday.
Ulrika’s fee is believed to be the highest EVER for the Channel 4 show—and is £25,000 higher than this year’s next best-paid star, glamour girl Lucy Pinder.
But TV bosses hope Ulrika, 41, will pull in huge audiences by spilling the beans on her exes—who include former England manager Sven Goran-Eriksson, disgraced footballer Stan Collymore and shamed TV presenter John Leslie.
A CBB insider said: “Many of the other celebrities are fuming.
“When you are doing exactly the same job as someone else and they are getting paid much more, it can cause resentment. But Channel 4 thinks Ulrika is the top-billing celeb because of her past. “The revelations she may come out with will get everybody watching—we hope it’s going to be TV dynamite!”
The other housemates are ex- Sugababe Mutya Buena and former Word host Terry Christian, who get between £50,0000 and £75,000 each, Liberty X singer Michelle Heaton (£60,000), La Toya Jackson (£100,000) and Mini-Me actor Verne Troyer (£136,000).
Controversial Scottish politician Tommy Sheridan is in the house too but his fee is unknown.
Ulrika—who had her fourth child in June after marrying American adman Brian Monet—is the second of Sven’s past lovers to go on CBB.
Faria Alam revealed in the 2006 series that she had peed in an unnamed ex-boyfriend’s tea.
The show was cancelled last year after the 2007 race row, involving Jade Goody and Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty.

I find that very hard to believe!
Coolio gets £30k but Lucy Pinder gets £150k...
Do me a favour.

Shame because they paid so much for her.
I reckon Ben will stay until the final as well, and they paid so little for him haha.

I'm excited for La Toya after watching clips of her on some police show.
That's only 11 contestants though?

Wow!!! If thats the lineup... i think i could call it the best CBB one ever. Thats a amazing list.
Also, Lucy has a strong fanbase apparently and people keep telling me that she will be popular because theres more to her than looks.

Aww I feel sorry for him, Ive seen him in interviews and he seems really nice, I guess he didnt want a lot of money.

Theres 1 more space open though. Bobby Brown? Maybe because that list has 6 girls and 5 guys.
MarkWaldorf

I think they offer them the money. Only the bigger names demand a set amount.

He does. He will be in the final, no doubt (if this is true).
Verne Troyer, Mutya Buena, and Coolio will be...interesting.
I just can't see them having a Jermaine in CBB5 and his sister in CBB6. Seems a bit odd.

Surprised Coolio isn't getting more money!

La Toya seems to be on the realitty TV circuit. And we always have a few American stars.

They've put in 11 for the past 2 series of CBB.

Its a good line-up if it is true
But I am a little dissapointed that a few of the other celebs who were rumoured aren't going in
It will be an entertaining series but there aren't any real big names to bring in the viewers

Indeed.
Coolio had a failed reality TV show.
Verne Troyer was on The Surreal Life (He'll be following in the footsteps of Traci, Brigitte, and Caprice)
LaToya was on Armed and Famous.
All Americans are major possibilities.

The only one I've never heard of is Terry Christian.

I really hope she does it, she seems like a fun character! I love the American celebs. Caprice and Traci are my two favourite CBB housemates ever!

Latoya seems hilarious on that vid, she looks like fun.
I REALLY hope that is the list. But have they ever announced all the celebs before launch? And if they had, were they all correct?

Tabloids like NOTW usually get them right. There may be one or two odd ones that weren't rumoured though.

I think the line up is decent if true but it is News of the World so take it with a pinch of salt.

I'm expecting one or two changes in the line-up. I mean last series two papers claimed to have the line-up, but it ended up to be nearly completely wrong. I reckon this could be more than half right - and probably released by BB to gain interest in the show.
I'm expecting one or two celebrities that have never really been rumored. Jo, for example, her name was never brought up about CBB5 and yet there she was - and I think it was the same for Leo Sayer.

I'm pretty sure I heard Leo's name around the time.
I agree, though, the papers very rarely get the whole line up. Personally, I doubt Michelle Heaton will be going in.
