TELLY beauty Ulrika Jonsson is getting a staggering £175,000 for her stint on Celebrity Big Brother—causing a storm among the other housemates who are on MUCH less.

Ulrika’s gigantic paypacket, for up to three weeks’ work, is EIGHT-AND-HALF TIMES as much as former A1 singer Ben Adams, who will get a comparatively measly £20,000.

And it’s nearly SIX TIMES more than Shameless actress Tina Malone and rapper Coolio, who get £30,000 each for the series starting Friday.

Ulrika’s fee is believed to be the highest EVER for the Channel 4 show—and is £25,000 higher than this year’s next best-paid star, glamour girl Lucy Pinder.

But TV bosses hope Ulrika, 41, will pull in huge audiences by spilling the beans on her exes—who include former England manager Sven Goran-Eriksson, disgraced footballer Stan Collymore and shamed TV presenter John Leslie.

A CBB insider said: “Many of the other celebrities are fuming.

“When you are doing exactly the same job as someone else and they are getting paid much more, it can cause resentment. But Channel 4 thinks Ulrika is the top-billing celeb because of her past. “The revelations she may come out with will get everybody watching—we hope it’s going to be TV dynamite!”

The other housemates are ex- Sugababe Mutya Buena and former Word host Terry Christian, who get between £50,0000 and £75,000 each, Liberty X singer Michelle Heaton (£60,000), La Toya Jackson (£100,000) and Mini-Me actor Verne Troyer (£136,000).

Controversial Scottish politician Tommy Sheridan is in the house too but his fee is unknown.

Ulrika—who had her fourth child in June after marrying American adman Brian Monet—is the second of Sven’s past lovers to go on CBB.

Faria Alam revealed in the 2006 series that she had peed in an unnamed ex-boyfriend’s tea.

The show was cancelled last year after the 2007 race row, involving Jade Goody and Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty.

Ulrika to win

Oh I hope that's true. Such a good line-up.

[LaLaLand]

I find that very hard to believe!

Coolio gets £30k but Lucy Pinder gets £150k...

Do me a favour.

Shame because they paid so much for her.

I reckon Ben will stay until the final as well, and they paid so little for him haha.

[MarkWaldorf]

I'm excited for La Toya after watching clips of her on some police show.

[Ross]

That's only 11 contestants though?

Armed and Famous that was on FOX a few years ago?

Wow!!! If thats the lineup... i think i could call it the best CBB one ever. Thats a amazing list.

Also, Lucy has a strong fanbase apparently and people keep telling me that she will be popular because theres more to her than looks.

[LaLaLand]

Great line up, much more interesting than last series.

Still don't believe some of the paypackets...

Relatively unknown galmour model: £100, 000
Cult world-renowned rapper: £30, 000

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Aww I feel sorry for him, Ive seen him in interviews and he seems really nice, I guess he didnt want a lot of money.

[*mazedsalv**]

Theres 1 more space open though. Bobby Brown? Maybe because that list has 6 girls and 5 guys.

[MarkWaldorf]

I think they offer them the money. Only the bigger names demand a set amount.

He does. He will be in the final, no doubt (if this is true).

Verne Troyer, Mutya Buena, and Coolio will be...interesting.

I just can't see them having a Jermaine in CBB5 and his sister in CBB6. Seems a bit odd.

[Locke.]

Surprised Coolio isn't getting more money!

La Toya seems to be on the realitty TV circuit. And we always have a few American stars.
