Default James Arthur turned down £250k
https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbi...ical-comeback/

COMEBACK king James Arthur turned down a £250,000 pay cheque to be on Celebrity Big Brother.

The X Factor winner suffered a fall from grace when he was dropped by Simon Cowell’s record label in 2014, just two years after winning the ITV talent show, after a series of offensive public outbursts.

James Arthur has revealed he turned down £250k to appear on Celebrity Big Brother
Having committed what was seen as career suicide, the 28-year-old was shunned by record labels and didn’t know where his next pay cheque would come from.

But despite being at rock bottom, James has revealed he still turned down massive sums of money to appear on reality shows including Celebrity Big Brother and I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!

He told the Daily Star Sunday: “I got offered loads of reality shows including I’m A Celebrity and Celebrity Big Brother.

James was dropped by Simon Cowell’s record company in 2014 and didn’t know where his next pay cheque could come from
“They were life-changing amounts of money. The most I got offered was £250,000 for CBB, which I really needed at the time, not knowing if I had a career.

“I think they thought I was a crazy Twitter troll and didn’t realise I am a shy, self-deprecating guy.

I remember thinking he was a twat for declining it, proved us all wrong though! I have a feeling that even if he did do CBB, this song could still be a sucess but only if he won which he probably wouldn't of.

He doesn't want to do reality TV because it will prove what a colossal bell end he is. He's lucky he has found success in his song because if he went on CBB, he would have been done for good.

Do Big brother really have a budget to pay one housemate a quarter of a million?

I very much doubt he would have been offered anything close to that.

I smell bull-shat.

Well that's crazy money, for Katie Price to get half a million to sit on her arse for a fortnight is just wrong.
