But Jason said: "It made me smile on Sunday. What an amazing story - £1 million for an autobiography that hasn’t even been written.
"Let’s get this into perspective - firstly £1 million is a gross misrepresentation of the figures.
"They said it was a kiss and tell story but I haven’t written the book.
"Yes, I am doing an autobiography and yes, Kylie will be part of that, but I would argue I’m not a kiss and tell person at all. It will be a sophisticated book about my life."
In the meantime, Jason will be busy getting ready for his new comeback tour and acting as a consultant on new BBC show Any Dream Will do.
Macca snubs ’Celebrity’ Jason? - Dec 20 2006
Jason Donovan may insist "I’m A Celebrity..." but it seems Sir Paul McCartney may not agree.
The former Beatle had no idea who the reality TV star was when they met at a gig, according to The Sun.
Macca, 64, reportedly refused to have his photo taken with the Australian star and asked an aide, "Who was that guy again?" when Jason shook his hand.
This is despite Jason’s huge fame as Scott Robinson in the Australian soap Neighbours, his successful music career with No 1 hits, including Too Many Broken Hearts, and recent stint on the ITV jungle show.
A spy behind the scenes at George Michael’s gig at Wembley on Sunday - where the encounter is said to have taken place - said: "Jason had asked Macca’s aides if he could have a picture taken with him but they said no.
"He did get to shake Macca’s hand because they were all sitting near each other, but Paul didn’t have a clue who he was."
Jason, 38, has been trying to relaunch his career after a few years out of the limelight.

A string of hits including Too Many Broken Hearts and Especially For You made him the biggest male popstar of the time. However, following a turn on the West End stage in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat his career faltered, affected by a cocaine addiction.
He made a comeback in 1999/2000 as Frank N Furter in the West End production of The Rocky Horror Show and more recently has appeared in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Sweeney Todd. He lives in the UK with his girlfriend and their two children.
