They get like £50 an episode (more than bbuk) but compared to actors it's quite low. They always fume about not being paid enough.You see why they always want to go on CBB/i'm a celeb? because they will get a higher wage then.

Benefits scrounger tease

Nikki stated a few years back that she also got £30 a day in BB7

I thought they get paid more than £30?

Could have sworn I read that BB pay the housemates rent while they're in the show and the £30 a day is separate.
