According to the So Dramatic! podcast, most cast members appearing Channel Ten’s Bachelor In Paradise take home approximately $500 to $1,000 for a day’s work.
‘Some contestants were able to bargain and get $1,000 a day… and then people like Keira can demand more,’ the host explained in a recent episode.
‘I heard Keira’s fee was close to $50,000, but honestly that’s just a rumour and not confirmed because contract negotiations are very confidential.’
Channel 10 confirmed this week that Bachelor in Paradise won’t be returning next year.
However, it’s believed the reality TV spin-off will air in 2022.

The spin-off doesn’t usually perform as well in the ratings as the main programs, but its figures were particularly disappointing this year.
Just 539,000 people watched the finale on Sunday, August 9.
Warner Bros. Australia, the company that produces Bachelor in Paradise, is also being sued by ex-contestant Jamie Doran over his negative portrayal – but it’s believed this hasn’t influenced 10’s decision to ‘rest’ the program.
