EXCLUSIVE: Contestants on the RTE show receive only a fraction of what their counterparts on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing take home
Celebrities on RTE ’s Dancing With The Stars get paid as little as €700 a week, the Irish Mirror can reveal.
One personality told how they turned down the offer, as it was too little money to afford to do it. The source said: “They offered me something like €700, which was terrible, obviously. They added: “You’re not in it for the money. You get about €1,200 a week for dancing and as soon as you were gone, that was it. You don’t get anything else. You don’t get jacks**t.”
Bass said: “What the celebrities get is all set to the same amount – there is no premium as long as you are in the show. Everyone gets the same. I wouldn’t breach confidence saying what that is, and I hope they wouldn’t either. I would call it a stipend.
