The 'lowest paid' Celebrity Big Brother contestant EVER has been revealed
His fee was less than Stephen Bear's £12,000!
Author: Carl SmithPublished 29th Jan 2018
He was evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house alongside Jonny Mitchell and Dapper Laughs last Friday, and now it's being reported Andrew Brady is the show's 'lowest paid' contestant ever.
The Apprentice star apparently earned £10,000 for his stint in the house, a fee lower than former Celebrity Big Brother winner Stephen Bear's £12,000 in 2016.
Reports are suggesting that Andrew was very keen to stay on TV after his appearance on The Apprentice, but bosses of the Channel 5 show didn't want to spend too much on his fee.
This all comes after Andrew discussed his flirty friendship with Shane J - aka Courtney Act - in an exit interview with press.
He said, "I had an inkling that Shane did fancy me, that to me wasn’t a thing. As long as you’ve got the right intentions and the right behaviour around each other it’s fine.
"The fact that Shane admitted he fancied me is nothing to me whatsoever. I’m heterosexual and I’ve not got a problem with anyone who isn’t. I do admire Shane and think he’s an amazing character, but for me he was born with the wrong genitals from where I stand."
Andrew also reckons Ann Widdecombe winning the series would be the 'worst thing' to happen on the show. He said, "The emphasis of this show is about women, and celebrating women's rights a hundred years ago.
"The views that people expressed a hundred years ago that stop women have the vote before that, are the same views Ann has today about homosexuality."
Check out all of the Celebrity Big Brother winners so far:
Jack Dee: 2001
Jack Dee took part in the show for Comic Relief and everyone seemed surprised, none more so than Jack. The series lasted a paltry five days as it was a more innocent time.

James Hill: 2015

Scotty T: 2016
