Danny Jones has become the second McFly star to win I’m A Celebrity after being crowned King Of The Jungle last week. 

While he won’t receive a cash prize for his achievement, he’s said to have been paid  between £100-£150K for his jungle stint.

Winning the show could also open a host of new opportunities for the star, much like it did for his bandmate Dougie Poynter when he was crowned in 2011.  

While Danny already has an estimated net worth of £4 million, brand expert Nick Ede predicts he could increase his earnings by £1.5 million over the coming year with ‘advertising deals, personal appearance fees and hosting jobs’. 

In doing so, he could be set to overtake bandmate Tom Fletcher’s earnings – who Danny previously described as the richest member. 

During a chat in the Jungle, Danny confessed, ‘Tom’s loaded’, noting that the frontman had written their hit single, All About You. 

So where does Danny stack up against his McFly bandmates now? MailOnline takes a look at the staggering net worth of one of Britain’s most successful pop punk band.

Danny Jones –  More than £5.5 million 

While Danny may have stormed to victory on I’m A Celebrity, it was previously reported that he’d been drafted in as a last-minute replacement for Tommy Fury, who pulled out of the lineup.

Prior to entering the Jungle, his net worth was said to be £4 million, but with an estimated payday of £1.5 million ahead he looks set to eclipse that in the coming months. 

As a member of McFly, Danny built up an impressive fortune, with the band selling more than 10 million records worldwide, and scoring seven number-one singles.

He was also previously listed as a director of the now-dissolved company McBusted LLP as part of McBusted, a collaboration between McFly and Busted.

The musician, who is married to former Miss England beauty queen Georgia Horsley, is also a partner in Super Records LLP with his McFly bandmates.

The company was formed in 2008 and handles McFly’s business dealings as a band, and it held just £19,000 in assets last year.

Danny has also been a regular on TV screens in recent years, as a judge on both The Voice Kids, and the adult version, where he joined bandmate Tom as part of the show’s first ever coaching duo.

In February, Danny was revealed as the winner of The Masked Singer after winning over the audience dressed as Piranha.

Tom Fletcher – £4 million 

‘Loaded’ bandmate Tom is said to have earned his fortune by writing some of the band’s biggest hits including Obviously and Five Colours in Her Hair.

Talented Tom is also behind three of fellow band Busted’s hits including the number 1 single, Crashed The Wedding, as well as the official 2012 London Olympics song On A Rainbow. 

As well as songwriting, the father-of-three enjoys novel writing and has a range of children’s books. 

In 2021, Tom competed on Strictly Come Dancing with Amy Dowden but they became the eighth couple to be eliminated from the contest. 

Last year, it was revealed Tom is working on the music for the upcoming Paddington: The Musical, which is set to open in the UK next year. 

As well as pulling in his own bumper earnings, Tom’s wife, influencer Giovanna Fletcher, appeared on I’m A Celebrity in 2020 and won the show.

Dougie Poynter – £2.4 million 

While he found fame with McFly in 2004, it was Dougie’s 2011 stint on I’m A Celebrity that made him a star in his own right. 

The musician narrowly took the crown with 55 percent of the vote but capitalised on his newfound fame by releasing a line of children’s novels. 

Dougie also launched three clothing companies – Zookie, which has since been sold, and the now defunct Saint Kidd and Polonius. 

As well as enjoying success with McFly and McBusted, Dougie also had a brief stint with alt-rock band INK in 2018.

Harry Judd – £3.4 million 

Days after Dougie was crowned King Of The Jungle, Harry also had reason to celebrate as he won Strictly Come Dancing. 

Proving his win was no fluke, Harry went on to lift the Glitterball yet again four years later when he competed on the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special.

That same year, Harry married wife Izzy, a professional violinist supposedly worth more than £1million alone.

Last year, Harry’s mother Emma also found herself in the limelight when they teamed up for Celebrity Race Across the World, where they finished in second place. 

This summer, the singer enjoyed a brief radio stint when he took over from Ronan Keating hosting Magic Radio’s Breakfast slot alongside Harriet Scott.
