The BBC declined to comment on the fee when asked by The Independent. However, according to reports, celebrity players each receive a flat fee of £40,000 for appearing in the series.
On The Rest Is Entertainment podcast in July 2025, host Marina Hyde said: “Look at the calibre of the people they got. They were able to pay everybody a blanket 40k fee, right? They’re paying them a 40k fee.”

However, rugby player Joe Marler said this varies from star to star, as he was paid £30,000 to appear on last year’s series.
The prize money
As for the prize money, the celebrities are competing for up to £100,000, with the exact figure depending on how well they perform in each challenge.
Unlike the regular version, where the contestants keep the jackpot, the celebrities will give their prize winnings to a charity of their choice.
In the civilian version of the game of deception, a slightly higher total prize of £120,000 can be won by the contestants.
