As a devoted fan of reality TV, I’ve always been captivated by the journeys of contestants who rise from obscurity to capture our hearts. Hannah Campbell is one such contender, and her story is nothing short of inspiring.


She’s the bubbly contestant winning hearts on the latest season of My Kitchen Rules.

But Hannah Campbell has a reality TV past many viewers may not be aware of. 

Prior to displaying her cooking skills, Hannah, who is 30 years old, was a contestant on the television show Big Brother on Channel Seven back in 2020.

During her stint in the Big Brother house Hannah proved to be a formidable player.

She was nominated for eviction only twice — during her first and last rounds.

After spending 27 days in the house, she secured the 10th position in the competition, leaving a lasting impression on viewers.

Now, Hannah is back and ready to win hearts on My Kitchen Rules with her partner Lawrence.

Their dynamic partnership has quickly made them standouts in the competition.

A participant from the 2024 season, who chose to remain anonymous, told Daily Mail Australia that aspiring TV chefs typically earn around $1100 per week, which is not much more than minimum wage.

The Australian minimum wage is currently $24.10 per hour, or $915.90 per week based on 38 hours.

For numerous contestants, participating in the reality show implied accepting a reduction in pay, as one former participant revealed they ended up with financial losses following filming’s conclusion.

‘It certainly didn’t cover our usual salaries,’ they claimed.

‘I think one of our cast-mates was in debt after filming.’

Although the program consistently attracts large viewership with every new season, it appears that the contestants’ remuneration doesn’t always match its popularity, as suggested by a casting executive from Seven.

‘A lot of people still think getting on TV will make you rich and famous,’ they said.

‘It doesn’t.’

As a die-hard fan, let me tell you, the thrill of getting chosen for the show usually surpasses any modest payment they offer.

According to the source, by the point where most candidates have reviewed their contract, they are usually so thrilled to have been selected that they pay little attention to the compensation, which is precisely what producers anticipate.

Previously on MasterChef, a contestant shared with Daily Mail Australia that while on the program, they were required to put in more hours than usual for someone making slightly above the standard minimum wage.

‘The shoots were longer than we were told and there was no overtime,’ the contestant revealed.

As a die-hard enthusiast, I never anticipated just how long my presence would be needed. There were instances where the shoot stretched late into the moonlit hours.
