I’m A Celebrity winner Danny Jones’ net worth is in the seven-figure range after raking in the cast in McFly and other TV appearances.
The 38-year-old’s bank balance will likely only increase after being named king of the jungle beating runner-up Coleen Rooney on the ITV show.
While the father-of-one has not divulged how much he’s worth, his fortune was previously estimated at £2,000,000 to £4,000,000 by the Express.
This would have been topped up by his fee for I’m A Celebrity which is thought to be around £100,000 to £150,000 according to reports.
Danny’s popularity means he could also add to his net worth significantly in the next 12 months, brand and culture expert Nick Ede predicted.
He told the Daily Mail: ‘McFly star Danny Jones could also expect to increase his earnings by £1.5million over the coming year.
‘I can see him being offered advertising deals and personal appearance fees as well as hosting jobs too.’

No, the winner of I’m A Celebrity does not win a cash prize as they are paid a flat fee for competing on the show.
The amount they recieve does not change if they win the show or are eliminated but they must remain in the jungle for 72 hours to earn the full amount.
Salaries of the I’m A Celebrity cast vary, with Coleen reportedly being the highest earning campmate ever on at least £1.5m.
