BIG Brother winner Rachel Rice is touting herself out for just £500 an appearance.

And other ex-BB stars are also accepting the same paltry fee.

On the eve of BB10, it will come as a grim reminder to this year's 18 housemates that the Goody-old days are over.

When the show launched in 2000, its contestants could rake in fortunes doing magazine shoots and PA work.

Tragic Jade Goody, star of BB3, made millions.

But Welsh wannabe Rachel 25, who pocketed £100,000 for her surprise win on last year's BB9, is asking just £500 - plus petrol - to host a BB-themed party.

Even the trainee teacher's agency, Flyin' Bird Entertainment, admits it is an "unbelievable price".

The same fee will get you BB7 lovebirds Grace Adams Short, 23, and Mikey Dalton, 26.

And also Seany O'Kane, 27, and Kara-Louise Horne, 24, from BB8.

In its promotional ad, the agency promises any prospective bookers: "The housemate will do an on-stage Q&A plus Party Games/On Stage Eviction & a Meet & Greet.

"Cash in on the Big Brother summer phenomenon at this credit-crunch fee."


A show source told TV Biz: "Going on Big Brother will not set you up for life financially. In fact, it can be quite the opposite sometimes.

"If you've been on the show and acted like an idiot people may not even want to give you a job."

Big Brother 10 starts tomorrow at 9pm on Channel 4.
