Sugababes singer Jade Ewen has admitted that her short-lived stint on ITV reality show Splash! resulted in a sizeable paycheck. The one-time Eurovision entrant was swiftly eliminated from Tom Daley’s venture into primetime TV earlier this year, but apparently it was financially worthwhile.
Speaking to Digital Spy, the 25-year-old said that she was hoping for a water-based Strictly Come Dancing rival… but that wasn’t exactly what she got. “I had fun, yeah. I didn’t know what it was going to be like.
“It could have been amazing like Strictly Come Dancing on the water – it wasn’t. If I’m really honest they paid me amazingly, I only had to dive once. I was very happy.” She also agreed with Tom Daley being named the world’s sexiest man by Attitude last week, saying: “He is fit. He’s got a great six pack. He deserves it.
“He’s such a nice guy as well. He hasn’t got any ego about him. It would be quite easy for him to get too big for his boots, but he’s lovely.”
Despite the overwhelmingly bad reviews, Splash! will be back for a second series in early 2014.
