‘I believe Paradise contestants are paid $500 a day,’ the So Dramatic host claimed.
‘Some contestants were able to bargain and get $1,000 a day… and then people like Keira can demand more.
‘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.’

‘The worst thing is people being like, ”oh, at least you got a holiday!” she explained.
‘I cannot stress this enough – [Paradise] is not a holiday,’ she added, before insisting that it’s actually a ‘job’ to film on set.
‘It is constant, it’s a show – you’re working. Yeah, I’m not labouring all day, but it is a job,’ she said.
‘To be honest, there’d be moments when you’d be laying around, and the producer will come out and say, ”up you get, you’re all boring, you have to get up and go and do something”.’
Brittany also revealed that producers had strict rules for contestants when it came to drinking alcohol.
She explained that the cast could start drinking at lunchtime, but could only have two drinks an hour.

If the producers thought you were drunk, they’d ‘cut you off.’
‘You can’t start drinking until midday – the bar opens at 12 – and then you get two drinks an hour and you can basically drink until midnight. That’s a lot of drinks, and in the sun,’ Brittany said.
‘They have a duty of care, so while you’re allowed that many drinks – the second they think you’ve had too many, or you’re too intoxicated, they’ll cut you off.
‘It’s different because on The Bachelor, you don’t get a second alone with him – there’s nothing that could possibly happen. But in Paradise, there’s people everywhere, guys and girls … anything could happen, so they have to keep their eyes open.’
Brittany also spoke about the food available to contestants at the resort.
She explained that they could order anything they want, including burgers, chips and steaks.
