The show I'm A Celebrity has an unexpected millionaire, and it's not who you'd expect.

A new millionaire has joined the already star-studded lineup on this year's season of I'm A Celebrity 2024. As the popular reality show ramps up on ITV, the tension is increasing with the arrival of another wealthy contestant.

So far, viewers have been entertained by Danny Jones and his "enormous trouser snake," as well as a plethora of Wagatha Christie jokes. Despite a decrease in viewers last year, the long-running series has remained strong in the ITV ratings since its debut in 2002.

But things might get even more interesting with the addition of Reverend Richard Coles to the camp. The 62-year-old former 1980s pop star-turned-reverend-turned-broadcaster joined the likes of Coleen Rooney, Alan Halsall, Tulisa Contostavlos, and Barry McGuigan on Wednesday night's show. Alongside fellow newcomer Maura Higgins from Love Island, Reverend Richard is sure to shake things up in the jungle.

But who exactly is this surprise millionaire and how did he amass such a vast fortune? With an estimated net worth of £3.9 million, Reverend Richard's career has been nothing short of impressive. After finding success as part of the pop group The Communards in the 1980s, he went on to appear on various TV shows, write books, and have a successful radio broadcasting career spanning two decades.

According to Companies House, Reverend Richard's company, Mistramark Ltd., currently has over £540,000 in the bank, with reserves three times larger than last year at £350,000. The company also paid nearly £180,000 in corporation tax in 2023, leading to an estimated income of almost £1 million for the Reverend.

Aside from his success in the music and entertainment industries, Reverend Richard's journey to becoming a millionaire began when he was ordained in the early 2000s. He then started his broadcasting career and even took part in the 15th series of Strictly Come Dancing with partner Dianne Buswell.

But it's not just his professional achievements that have contributed to his wealth. Reverend Richard has also written best-selling books, including mystery novels and memoirs. With such a successful career spanning over 40 years, it's no surprise that he's now worth an estimated £3.9 million.

As he enters the I'm A Celebrity camp, Reverend Richard joins a long list of accomplishments and a wealth of experience. Will he add "King of the Jungle" to his list of achievements?
