Celebrity Big Brother's highest paid stars are REVEALED - and the celeb taking ... trends now
With the return of Celebrity Big Brother, rumours have again swirled about how much cash the stars are offered to take part.
The X Factor icon Sharon Osbourne, 71, is the show's first 'celebrity lodger' as she will stay in the house for just one week.
But while her time in the house may be short, her fee is most definitely not small - as it was reported she will be taking home an astonishing £100,000 for every day she is in there.
Insiders told The Sun that her fee was too high for ITV for her to stay the full length, so her final total will be determined by when she leaves.
Before Sharon's final fee is revealed, MailOnline takes a look at the stars who have bagged the highest pay outs for their stints in the CBB house over the years.

American film producer David Gest has been revealed as Celebrity Big Brother's highest paid celebrity ever - getting £600,000 for his stint on the show.
Gest starred on the 17th series of the show alongside Tiffany Pollard, Jonathan Cheban, Danniella Westbrook, Gemma Collins, Darren Day and Jeremy McConnell, but he left after 13 days for medical reasons.
Angie Bowie, who was married to pop icon David Bowie for 10 years, was told off-camera about the singer's passing from cancer.
Angie returned to the house, clearly upset about the news, and told EastEnders actor John Partridge about it, asking him to keep it to himself. She also told Gest, who was in fact feeling unwell during his time on the show, and had took himself off to bed.
Angie decided to then tell Tiffany, only for the US reality star to assume 'David's dead' meant she was referring to Gest - who was bedridden at the time.
Sadly Gest passed away aged 62 in April of that same year, just months after appearing on the show.

Katie Price made a shock late entrance to the Celebrity Big Brother house during the 15th series in 2015.
But despite her late arrival, Price, 45, soared to victory and it was reported that Katie earned a whopping £500,000 for her appearance.
Price beat out controversial TV personality Katie Hopkins to take the win that series - with Hopkins later slamming her win as a 'con'.
'There's no part of Katie Price that deserved to win,' Hopkins told the Daily Star Sunday at the time. 'She's just a nobody with a pair of t**s - and those t**s aren't that great either.'
Price clapped back at Hopkins, branding her 'vile' and claiming the columnist had appeared 'excited' to meet her when she entered the house.

Katie Hopkins appeared alongside Price on the show in 2015 - which appeared to be a high paying series.
The media columnist was reportedly paid £400,000 for her appearance on the show, and she came runner up to Price.
Hopkins entered the CBB house in 2015 to a chorus of boos - and later attacked winner Price.
'She had no conversation to offer and I found her to be a very tedious individual,' Hopkins told the Sun On Sunday at the time. 'Frankly, if I'd been watching with the British public I would have switched off.'
