The 2025 series of Strictly Come Dancing is hotting up, with the iconic Blackpool round just weeks away. Every year, celebs put in countless hours of rehearsals to wow the judges on the nation's favourite dance competition. But it's not just the chance to perform at Blackpool that has some stars' hearts racing, as it seems their pay packets get a nice boost if they reach this stage of the contest. From reality TV stars to sports personalities and soap actors, all reportedly pocket the same flat rate fee of £25,000. Despite the varying degrees of fame among the contestants, pay is said to be completely non-negotiable with the show's producers. However, those who shine on the dance floor are rewarded with bonuses, adding an extra layer of competition. If the celebs make it past Blackpool and the quarter-final, their salary jumps to £60,000. And the financial rewards don't stop there, according to the Mirror . If they manage to win over both the judges and viewers to reach the semi-final, they bag a tidy sum of £75,000. And the champion of one of the UK's most beloved TV shows walks away with a cool £100,000, reports Devon Live . However, these generous payouts come with their own challenges. Many celebrities suffer injuries and exhaustion after weeks of fierce competition in the Strictly Come Dancing series. In other news, it has been reported that outgoing presenters Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly are believed to earn around £150,000 per series.
