Gemma Collins turned down £200,000 Celebs Go Dating appearance as ‘she makes more in half a day’
thesun.co.ukGEMMA Collins turned down £200,000 to return to Celebs Go Dating - because "she makes more in half a day". The reality TV star - who claims to be worth £5million - was offered the massive sum by show bosses desperate for her to sign up to the agency.
But Gemma said the fee wasn't big enough. A source told The Sun: "Gemma was offered £200k for the show but she is so busy, it just wasn't enough money for the time she'd spend filming. "She makes more in half a day - and this would have involved isolating for three weeks before taking part. "She loves the show and will be watching at home - she's a fan - but money-wise, it didn't make sense.
