He told nowtolove.com: “You get $150 for the day, that’s it. “But on top of that, you have to pay expenses – your living expenses with the woman that you marry.” He added: “It’s not $150 clear. You still have to pay rent if you’re renting, you’ve gotta pay your rego and it’s 12 hour filming days.” As $150 is around £78, this could be an estimate of what UK contestants are paid while filming.
