Harry Redknapp and Caitlyn Jenner pocketed huge fees to plug a fake charity in a TV sting.
Channel 4’s Dispatches approached booking agents after setting up a bogus charity called Cleaning Up Plastic Pollution in Africa (CUPPA).
Agency MN2S said footie manager Redknapp would post on Instagram for £15,000 and do a photoshoot for £5,000, so the reporters paid £20,000 for both.
A snap of Redknapp, 73, in a CUPPA T-shirt and cap was later posted, saying: “I’m proud to support CUPPA.”
His lawyer said: “He would never knowingly charge for regular charity work.
“He agreed to payment after being informed the charity was supported by private investors.
"He was paid less than the sum quoted.”
MN2S also received £19,500 for a photoshoot and post with US reality star Jenner, 70.
Her lawyer said: “Apart from this, she has never been paid for charitable work and intended to donate the money to charities.”
MN2S said charities benefit from celeb links and fees are “heavily discounted” from usual rates.
A spokesperson for Harry Redknapp said: “As everyone knows, Harry does a massive amount of work for Charities big and small, and has done for many years, which he doesn’t charge for.
“He is disappointed that he was deceived into believing that private investors wanted to engage his services, and would not have accepted payment if he had been told this was being paid for by the charity in question.
"Harry’s 2019 theatre tours raised over £160,000 for charity, and is doing the same again this year. Harry is shocked and upset that he was misled in this way and is donating the money he was paid to the charities he works with so that it can be put to good use.”
