Joel Dommett has "hit it big time" according to financial reports which suggest the fan-favourite TV star is raking in almost £3,000 every day.
The stand-up comedian and former I'm A Celebrity campmate is thought to have racked up more than £2.3million over the last 12 months, a huge jump from the reported £1.4million he made the previous year, and it's apparently all down to The Masked Singer.
He joined the popular ITV programme back in 2020, becoming the host of The Masked Dancer the following year. Joel is now thought to be considerably wealthier than when he first found telly fame in the jungle in 2016, going on to present I'm a Celebrity: Extra Camp from 2017 to 2019.
Joel has reportedly raked it in thanks to The Masked Singer (ITV)He owns a performing arts company called Neon Hero, which is currently sitting on £1,108,653 in cash, as well as £980,832 in investments – and £251,916 in monies owed, according to Companies House, per The Sun.
After bills at £257,546 reportedly Joel kept £2,090,625 in profits at his firm, including £814,831 for the year, reports the outlet. The company's profit for 2023 is more than ten times higher than the £71,096 made in 2022. He also has someone employed, but a salary isn't reported.
Masked Singer fans convinced they’ve already guessed who is behind Phoenix
Accounts are for the year ended in April 2023, and were signed off by Joel last month. His Norfolk-based company was officially launched back in 2012 and appears to be the only business publicly listed in the comedian's name. Some of the first profits reported in 2013 were only £13,000.
The Mirror has contacted Joel for comment.
As well as success on ITV, Joel has also branched into the BBC in 2023, becoming the host of their reboot of Survivor. Although the show hasn't gone down well with some fans who all had the same complaint when it first launched back in October.
The show made its comeback on BBC1 with 18 hopefuls selected from across the UK set to battle it out amid tropical remote conditions to be crowned the Sole Survivor. They have the chance to walk away with a cash prize of £100,000 if they can endure tough conditions, betrayal and psychological games.
Hosted by Joel, the TV reboot comes more than 20 years after it first aired in 2001. By the following year in 2002 ITV decided to axe the show - until now. The contestants are split into two tribes, and they have to compete against each other in order to gain a reward or immunity from being voted off the island.
However, many fans didn't appear to be impressed with the new series as they turned off during the first episode complaining it was "dull" and better suited to another channel. Taking to social media, one viewer said: "I'm bored already #Survivor." Another added: "Good grief. Is this really what the # BBC think the great British public want to watch on a Saturday night?" Someone else commented: "#Survivor on @BBCOne is c***. Gave it 20minutes and it's dull. Bring back #TheWheel."
A fourth quipped: "I’m not sure I care about anything that is happening. #SurvivorUK #Survivor." While one viewer wrote: "Good grief. What a hyped up heap of s***e. So irritating. I tried, but the fake enthusiasm is a killer. Tarrah now! #Survivor." Someone else added: "Best of luck to #Survivor but wrong channel & wrong timeslot. It'll be axed by this time next year." While another commented: "Not sure about this #Survivor show on #BBC1 at peak time, feel like it has been done to death on other sides, will give it a chance."
Someone said: "Weird for BBC1 to have #survivor - much better fit for ITV/ Channel 4," as a viewer echoed: "#Survivor should be on BBC3 or Channel 5. Odd channel choice." Survivor will see players eliminated one by one from the challenging competition at the iconic Tribal Council - losing out on their chance to win the cash prize.
