Irish Mirror reveals the surprisingly low pay for celebrities on RTE's Dancing with the Stars, starting at €700 per week during rehearsals and increasing to €1,200 during the show. Former contestants shared their experiences, highlighting the minimal financial compensation and emphasizing that participants are driven by passion rather than profit.
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.
