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 in the region of £15,000 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 the 15-20k mark 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.
As well as her TV appearance Katie is planning on releasing a tell-all memoir.
Commenting on her forthcoming book, she told GB News last week: “My next autobiography, I tell you, this one is going to be the best one.
"Oh my God, the dramas that I have had lately in my life. Well, I've survived it now. But now I'm making a comeback. I really am.”
She also discussed her money woes and said: "I've had money and then lost money and it is not not everything in the world. In fact, it's the root of all evil in my life. You know, I've had to pay this person, that person, then that person. You realise who your real friends are when you go through a tough time.”
It comes as Katie managed to swerve another bankruptcy hearing in court this week.
It has been delayed until March.
