I'm A Celebrity 2025: The two Aussie celebs who won't appear for less than $250,000
Carrie Bickmore and Tommy Little have been asked to do the reality show "numerous" times.
Supermodel Linda Evangelista may have once famously said she won't get out of bed for less than $10,000 and it looks like some Aussie stars are taking inspiration from the iconic line, with a source telling Yahoo Lifestyle that two Aussie celebrities have been asked numerous times to do I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! but have turned down the offer because the price ain't right.
Yahoo Lifestyle understands that Carrie Bickmore and Tommy Little have been asked to do the reality show "numerous times", but that they're "terrified" they could lose their high-paying radio gig in the jungle, with the time away to film I'm A Celeb posing too much of a risk.
Would Carrie Bickmore and Tommy Little ever do I'm A Celeb?
A TV casting producer has confirmed that the duo have been asked to do the show a number of times, but believes the price point hasn't been worth it, saying, "I would say that they are looking for more than a quarter of a million dollars each and to be honest they would be worth every penny. Everyone has a number that works for them."

The two have allegedly made a "secret pact" behind the scenes that they "won't do celebrity shows" for now, as they want to keep their content for their radio show.
"Carrie and Tommy have really cashed in on their chemistry - which is obvious on the weekly drive show. The whole, 'are they dating or aren't they?' has been a huge draw card for them both," our source says.
"They could have dispelled rumours and come out with a serious press release but they haven't, to keep audiences guessing. It is genius!"
Peter Helliar's advice to Carrie and Tommy
It turns out another famous face and I'm A Celeb veteran Peter Helliar also offered some words of advice to the duo.
"Peter Helliar gave them both the word up that the show is more fun than most 'celebrities' would realise and while they trust their good mate that it would be a fun time - they have regular pay cheque and that suits them just fine for now," our source says, stipulating that it'd be unlikely to see the duo on the show until their radio show is off-air.
