'Kitchen' stars angry over Clancy pay?
Abbey Clancy is apparently being paid £100,000 to star in Hell's Kitchen - prompting anger among her co-stars.

The glamour model gets more than twice as much as many of her colleagues, according to The People.

The 'paper says Emmerdale star Adele Silva, her closest competitor, gets £25,000 less than her.

And a source told the 'paper: "Several of the other contestants are furious that Abbey is getting so much money. They all have years of television experience and feel she's just famous for being a footballer's girlfriend.

"Some of the other contestants may have years of experience in TV, music and film but bosses believe Abbey is a more up-to-date celebrity who can pull in younger viewers.

"Telly bosses are desperate to appeal to an under-30s audience. People like Jim Davidson and Paul Young all have years of success behind them, but are no longer at the peak of their fame."

Some of the salaries, according to the 'paper, are: Adele Silva - £75,000, Jim Davidson - £60,000, Lee Ryan - £30,000 and Anneka Rice - £30,000.
