Love Island cast's wages outside of ITV show

The Love Island cast's jobs and salaries vary vastly as most come from humble backgrounds.

Love Island has become a quick-fire way to make millionaires out of its islanders as high street retailers and beauty brands are quick to snap up their favourites for campaigns worth hundreds of thousands of pounds. Former islander Molly-Mae Hague recently became the show's top earner after dipping her toes in multiple fashion brands and bagging the role of creative director for Pretty Little Thing, leaving her with a multimillion net worth.

Producers were praised for selecting a bunch of 'normal people' this year from varying backgrounds instead of relying on their typical Rolodex of influencers. Though Gemma Owen come from a wealthy background due to her father Michael Owen's football career, and Jacques O'Neil is the top earner for his own rugby background, the other islanders all take on regular jobs.
