Do Big Brother contestants get paid?

Big Brotherhouseguests do indeed get paidduring their time on the show but it’s not for participating in the show.

Speaking to the Metro, a Big Brother spokesperson denied that any housemates negotiated specific fees to take part.

“UnlikeCelebrity Big Brother,housemates are not paid to participate as they have a chance of winning £100,000,” the rep commented.

However, series 15 starMark Byronsaid Big Brother helps the housemates by offering a small cash sum to help with the bills on the outside world.

He said: “They give you a little bit to help you, they do give you a subsidy. I think, when I was on, it was only something like £50. It’s not a lot but they do help you.

“It was like £50 for every day you’re in there which isn’t a lot but if you’re in there for 13 weeks it soon adds up.”

The Big Brother reboot has confirmed its prize money and said it is an “incredible amount”.

Political slogan reference sparks backlash

This year’s Big Brother was not without controversy, as the show faced over 745 complaints to Ofcom after viewers accused a housemate of making a racist comment.

Sarah was branded “out of line” when she referenced the slogan “Stop The Boats” during a discussion about black housemate Hanah, whose parents are immigrants.

Spa accounts manager Sarah had already nicknamed Hanah "gloaty" in one of the house tasks, and she later said in front of Hanah, "stop the gloats".

Confiding in fellow black housemate Segun, Hanah admitted: "I don't know how I feel about that one. I don't like that."
