However, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini is recieving €1.9 million after making her triumphant return to the show.

Figures published by the Daily Mail also show that presenter Dermot O’Leary gets just over €1 million.
It is considerably more than the €140,000 which is given to Strictly judges Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli, Craig Revel Horwood, and Darcey Bussell.
While Mrs Brown’s Boys star Jenny Gibney only gets a standard €32,000 payment for going on the show – with this rising to over €100,000 for winning the show.
