It’s no secret that a successful stint on Love Island usually results in a major pay day. Whether it’s sponsored Instagram posts, nightclub PAs, more reality TV appearances, or a clothing collection with PrettyLittleThing or Missguided, the Islanders’ post-show careers tend to be VERY lucrative indeed.
We only needed to look at the likes of Molly-Mae Hague, Alex and Olivia Bowen, Dani Dyer and Shaughna Phillips, who are absolutely raking it in, to realise that contestants can earn a pretty penny from the show as well as find love.
But while we know how much those from previous series are making, how much could this year’s contestants earn from their newfound fame? Well, Coffee Friend have crunched the numbers to work out how many followers each of the latest Islanders is predicted to have by the end of the show, and therefore how much money they could potentially make – and spoiler alert, one stands to earn £1 MILLION.
