Kelly Brook will reportedly be paid £33,000 for each of the six Britain's Got Talent shows she did, despite being dropped as a judge by its creator Simon Cowell.
The model and presenter, 29, was promised as much as £200,000 for sitting on the panel alongside Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden.
Cowell, the show's creator, had reportedly offered Brook the lucrative contract in the hope of kindling a rivalry with 37-year-old Holden, following the headlines created by the competition between judges Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue on his other reality television hit X Factor.
But after just a week on the show, she was relieved of her duties.
Cowell said in a statement: "I have genuinely enjoyed working with Kelly, she is absolutely lovely and a complete professional.
"But it's become clear the format doesn't support another judge and we will never add a fourth judge to the panel."
A spokesman for production company Talkbackthames added: "Producers reviewed the tapes over the weekend and although Kelly brings a huge amount of warmth to the show and we've loved having her on board, the complications it adds to the filming process and format of the show means that unfortunately, and with huge regret, we have agreed with ITV not to proceed with a fourth judge."
