Newcomer Urzila is said to be earning $100,000. 

New Idea claimed that former judge Lindsay Lohan, who was unable to return for season two due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, was paid $800,000 for the gig last year.

A source said that production paid for first-class flights for Dannii and her son, Ethan, so they could travel from LA to Australia before filming began.

Channel 10 also apparently foot the bill for the Gold Coast mansion they quarantined at for 14 days upon their arrival.

The insider also insisted that recent rumours Jackie was earning $1million were not true, adding: ‘Dannii would flip if that were true.’

However, Daily Mail Australia understands Jackie is earning far more than the $250,000 claimed by New Idea.

Meanwhile, the magazine claimed that Urzila will likely ‘be able to negotiate a higher salary if she comes back next season’ because of her popularity with viewers.

Last week, a well-placed source told Daily Mail Australia that Jackie was the top earner on the judging panel.  

The 45-year-old radio presenter is said to be earning about $1million, having locked in her salary before the coronavirus recession hit.

Jackie’s rumoured higher salary reflects the fact that The Masked Singer is being promoted daily on her top-rating KIIS FM breakfast show.

The Masked Singer was a surprise hit for Channel 10 last year. 

While it has slightly dipped in popularity, senior executives are said to be happy with the ratings for season two. 

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Channel 10 for comment.
