Girls Aloud have topped a list of the UK's highest-earning reality TV stars with a combined fortune of £25m.

The girl band finished ahead of fellow music acts Will Young, who finished second with £12.5m, and Leona Lewis, who was in third place with £10m.

The late Big Brother contestant Jade Goody was next on the list with estimated earnings of £8m, while singer-turned-TV presenter Myleene Klass completed the Top five with £7.5m.

Original Big Brother winner Craig Phillips was the most successful ex-housemate after Jade, while Brian Dowling and Chantelle Houghton also featured in the Top 20.

More surprising names to feature include Pop Idol loser Darius Danesh and Charlotte Hobrough, the winner of ITV's flop reality show Survivor.

I think she might have lost some after CBB5, especially with her products being taken off shelves and the companies she endorsed dropping her etc.
