The loved up couple have since traveled the world together on charity missions... can they get any better?!

It's...

...an actually rather paltry £10 an hour.

Apparently, the contestants have been shocked to find their fees will be so little.

A source told The Sun, "They have been in uproar over being paid so little for two days’ work. It almost isn’t worth hours of awkward conversation with your ex — which for many of the islanders will be the case now.

"A few have even discussed dropping out to avoid any unnecessary aggravation. The low fees have also upset their agents, who are used to dealing with much bigger contracts."

But how much do the swimmers-clad gang get paid for appearing in the show over the summer? Well, it's...

(drum roll)

...£200 a week. Which really isn't much at all when you think about it.

A source said, "All the Islanders are getting £200-a-week to be on the show. If you break it down to how many hours they're filming every day it's absolutely nothing!

"But they know the end goal is mega-money and fame. If they win, it could be £50,000 they leave with or £25,000 if they split the pot. Then they'll make loads off the back of magazine deals and sponsorship.

"They're all prepared to take the hit now because this time next year they could be rolling in it!"

They get free food and accommodation and condoms as well, so – winning?
