It might be ITV2’s most successful programme ever, but the stars of reality show The Only Way Is Essex are hardly cashing in.
The cast members earn £50 a day for their roles in Series 2 of the popular reality show, just above the National Minimum Wage.
Main character Mark Wright has revealed that it was a struggle, after getting nothing for Series 1, to convince channel bosses to pay them at all!
‘They argued that without the show, we wouldn’t be where we are,’ says Mark, 24.
