Former UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman is preparing for an unusual television partnership with Katie Price. She has received approximately $194k from 72 Films, a Fremantle company, for appearing in Channel 4’s Celebrity Handcuffed.
The payment appears in the latest Register of Members’ Interests. Suella performed 200 hours of filming work and is to provide publicity services even after filming ends.
How much is Suella Braverman paid for Celebrity Handcuffed?
Suella has already received $194k for taking part in the Channel 4 reality show. The payment covers 200 hours of filming, and Suella must also provide publicity services after production wraps.
The show will pair the Reform UK MP, who serves as the party’s education, skills and equality spokesperson, with former glamour model Katie Price. The pair must complete everyday tasks together. They will be competing against other celebrity duos.
This show will follow its civilian version that was launched in March, where people with differing opinions and habits were handcuffed together at all times. Whichever duo managed to stay together for the longest period of time won $195k.
Speaking in Channel 4’s official announcement, Jonathan Ross, who hosted the civilian series, said, “I’ve done my fair share of celebrity shows, but nothing quite like this”.
He also described the show as “chaotic” and “hilarious” and shared his excitement about seeing famous contestants put together under pressure.
Channel 4 commissioning editor Tim Hancock said the celebrity version would feature “truly unexpected pairings”. He also described it as “gloriously awkward and full of surprises”, adding that the format could show how people who disagree may still have things in common.
Celebrity Handcuffed’s other four celebrity pairings revealed
Love Island star and campaigner Georgia Harrison will team up with model Lady Victoria Hervey. Ex-footballer Neil Ruddock will compete alongside drag queen and singer Bimini.
The remaining pairings include Made in Chelsea star Mark-Francis Vandelli and former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona. Celebrity DJ Fat Tony and Princess Olga Romanoff will also appear in the show.
Celebrity Handcuffed will air on Channel 4 in 2027.
