Phillip Schofield is rumored to be getting paid 3 times more per show on the next series of All Star Mr than co-host Fern Britton which will no doubt cause a little tension between the two.
Schofield managed to land the deal as part of a £2 million golden handcuff deal with ITV. This means that he will get paid £45k per show whereas, Fern will receive £15k.
“Fern asked for the same pay cheque as Phil. But there isn’t a huge production budget,” a source told The Sun.
“Phillip’s pay is basically pre-agreed, while Fern is only on an exclusive daytime deal with ITV. Fern won’t be aware of this pay difference.”
Britton should have had a pay rise last year but because of the gastric band issue, she missed out on the opportunity.
