But while they’ll be feeling the pinch in Majorca, when the stars come out their earnings could skyrocket if they make a good impression.
A TV insider tells The Sun Online: “All the islanders are getting £200 a week to be on the show.
“If you break it down to how many hours they’re filming every day it’s absolutely nothing!

“If they win, it could be £50,000 they leave with or £25,000 if they split the pot. Then they’ll make loads off the back of magazine deals and sponsorships.
“They’re all prepared to take the hit now because this time next year they could be rolling in it!”
Yesterday The Sun Online revealed the 11 wannabes preparing to fly to Majorca in a bid to find fame and fortune.
