JOHN Barrowman’s incredible five figure salary for just 32 minutes work on Celeb SAS Who Dares Wins has been revealed.

Famed for his role on Doctor Who and Torchwood, he told cameras he joined the show in order to “prove himself”.

However, after trying just one of the tasks, he voluntarily withdrew (VW) from the series less than an hour after arriving at base camp.

And it’s now been revealed that the star received a hefty pay cheque to do so.

John banked a huge £30,000 for his Celeb SAS Who Dares Wins appearance, according to MailOnline.

This would therefore work out at £937.50 per minute for his appearance.

The Sun has approached John’s representatives for comment.

The star had only just been given his armband to mark the start of his journey, being marked as ‘Number 13’ after failing to impress in the first challenge.

But as the cast lined up to enter their bunks, Barrowman started to retch, and then immediately tore his armband off, threw it on the ground and walked away.

His fellow recruits and the DS staff were left in shock at the move, with staff Jason Fox asking, “Hang on, hang on, you’ve not called out. Are you VWing?”

“Yeah I’m VW. I’m out!” he yelled back, before vomiting in a corner.

Billy Billingham went to check on the star, asking if he needed to see a doctor, but Barrowman refused.

“What do you mean you’re done? You’ve only just got here, why?” Billy asked.

“I know. I just… I’m done,” he responded, and when Billy pushed further Barrowman declared; “I said I’m out!”

“I just… it’s not for me,” he added. “I know who I am. I know what I’m about, and it’s not for me.”

Back at base camp, DS Chris Oliver told the rest of the celebs: “Listen, stick together. Hate us as much as you want. Doing epic s*** like we’ve done today, you’ll grow.

“You’ve just seen that sack of s*** out there, just handed these for band in and gone.

“You leave that gate when it’s time for you to leave, and you’ll be a better person. Trust us.”

Fans of the show were left gobsmacked at Barrowman’s quick withdrawal, and shared their frustrations about it on X.

“Strange decision from john barrowman,” wrote one, while another declared him as “absolutely pathetic”.

“Goes all the way to New Zealand. Quits in seconds. What the hell. Waste of money and time,” said another.

On the show, the group were quickly thrown in the deep end by being made to walk across two steel bars, suspended 300ft in the air over a ravine.

They were then put through a ‘hostage rescue’ scenario.

Barrowman is currently the only member to withdraw from this year’s series.

He’s since revealed why he actually quit the show – and it was all down to food preference.

His exit was not explained on the Channel 4 show — but singer and actor John has blamed it on eating vegan sandwiches.

The 57-year-old, who lost his ITV judging role in 2021 over flashing allegations, said it had been the only food offered before the first task in New Zealand.

He told The Sun: “I’m not a vegan or a vegetarian, but they made everybody eat vile tofu.

“I would never eat tofu in my life, but you’re so hungry, you just eat it.”

Barrowman, who has motion sickness, then endured a two-hour car journey to the site of the task.

He said “Then it was projectile vomit everywhere and the tofu came up.

“I thought, ‘I’m not going to make myself ill or hurt myself in order to try to prove something that I don’t need to prove’. 

“And it was seriously me going: ‘I am completely comfortable with who I am.

“I’m completely a happy person.

“We’ve all got our issues and problems, but I’ve made a mistake.’”
