Money S spinners or money sinners? Celebrity status can earn you a fortune, but not every star has the Midas touch. Here’s our round-up of the stars who have hit the jackpot in 2017 and the ones feeling the pinch…
Meet the money spinners...
avvy Holly is one of ITV’s highest-paid female stars, and the 2017 gender pay scandal saw the 36-year-old presenter reportedly given a £200,000 raise to bring her in line with This Morning co-host Phillip Schofield (who earns a reported £600,000). This year also saw Holly win lucrative deals to be the face of Diet Coke – which is said to come with a six-figure pay cheque – and a range of bedding for Dunelm. Already worth an estimated £10 million, Holly and husband Dan Baldwin’s company – Roxy Media – reported a net worth of £1.48 million as of February 2017 and, this Christmas, the couple are said to have paid themselves £1 million from the company. When Dancing On Ice returns in January, Holly will resume rink-side duties – for even bigger bucks. When fellow presenter Rylan ClarkNeal challenged her recently about her worth she spluttered, ‘I’m not very good with maths.’ Somehow, we doubt that!

rowned Jungle winner on last year’s I’m A Celebrity…, Scarlett Moffatt has had a meteoric rise to stardom in 2017. She began the year with a successful weight-loss DVD deal, before being unofficially adopted by fellow Geordies Ant and Dec and landing a regular slot on their award-winning Saturday Night Takeaway. She was also chosen to front a revamp of Davina McCall’s old dating show, Streetmate, and returned down under to present I’m A Celebrity.... Extra Camp. Add to that a lucrative autobiography – Me Life Story: The Funniest Book Of The Year! – and it’s easy to see why the 27-year-old ex-Gogglebox star has already fulfilled her vow to pay off her parents’ mortgage. She’s rumoured to have banked over £1 million. The sky’s the limit for this lass!
Scarlett’s come a long way from the Gogglebox sofa!
