Gone are the extremely lucrative Jade Goody days when the BB losers could out earn the winners after the show. I remember when she got £300,000 from selling her amazing story to the papers (bisexual mum, drug addicted dad, smoking drugs at 5, looking after her single-armed mother - a genuinely intriguing tale). BB2 runner up Helen Adams making £110K for her love story with Paul.

Specialist D-lister agency Neon management used to clamour to get BB stars - even last year John James was temporararily signed to them. Now they aren't really that bothered with BB ex-HMs. Not much money it it. Post BB interviews and shoots don't really don't pay much any more. There's no bidding war between the Sun, Mirror and Desmond empire. It's obviously just the Desmond Empire, so Desmond empire can pay little and the HMs are just happy to have their mugs inside a magazine so that people won't forget them.

It's only the usual suspects such as Jordan, Andre, Katona and the TOWIE mob who still make serious and regualar dosh from stories. It's now more about ex-BB HMs using the Desmond Empire mags for keeping your profile up.

Rebeckah signed a £200k modelling deal after she was evicted, it's not hard to gain money off the back of BB if you know what you're doing
