BANKRUPT Price is set to earn a huge five-figure fee for just TWO weeks work on Celebrity Cooking School.
The 44-year-old star is planning her TV comeback following her drink drive crash and cocaine confessions.
She's lined up to earn up to £20,000 for 14 days work on the E4 series -which sees terrible famous cooks attempt to turn around their culinary skills - and bosses believe she is worth every penny.
An insider revealed: "She's getting a massive payday for only a couple of weeks work.
"Her contract sees her bank more money the longer she lasts in the competition, and she'll get a bonus if she makes it to the final three, so she's looking at banking around £20,000 if she lasts the duration of the series.
"Chances that she'll go the whole way are pretty high too as she's already done Celeb Masterchef, so she has that advantage on some of the other contestants, and bosses know she's a big draw for the show so won't want to eliminate her early."
TV executives see it as a good investment as they know Katie is a huge draw for viewers, who are invested in her progress after her recent documentaries on PTSD and depression.
The source continued: "It's an eye-watering amount of money for a couple of week's work- more than most people earn in a year.
"Even if she doesn't make it all the way til the end, she's still looking to get around half that fee, so either way she's laughing.
"For Katie, it's come along at a great time as she needs the cash to help with her dire financial situation, and she also wants the exposure by being back on reality tv."
The Sun has reached out to an E4 spokesperson for comment.
