Newcomer Urzila is said to earn $100,000.
New Idea claims that former judge Lindsay Lohan, 34, earned $800,000 for the gig.
A source told New Idea that production covered the costs of first class flights for Dannii and her son Ethan, 10, from LA to Australia for the role, and paid for the Gold Coast mansion they quarantined at.

The insider also insisted that recent rumours that Jackie O is pocketing $1million for the gig are just not true.
‘Dannii would flip if that were true,’ they said.
They added that as Urzila is a hit with the audience, ‘she’ll be able to negotiate a higher salary if she comes back next season.’

Last week meanwhile, Daily Mail Australia reported that Jackie O was the top earner on the judging panel.
The 45-year-old radio presenter is earning about $1million, a well-placed source told Daily Mail Australia, having locked in her salary before the coronavirus recession hit.
Jackie’s higher salary reflects the fact that The Masked Singer is being promoted daily on her top-rating KIIS FM breakfast show.
