It's well known that the majority of Love Island stars rack in a tonne of cash when they leave the villa, even if they're the first one booted from the show. However, what fans might not know is that the contestants get paid wages while they're in the villa itself.

So, how much do the Love Island stars get paid for appearing in the show? Well it's...

(drum roll)

The Islanders make a lot of money post-villa ©ITV

...about £200 a week, according to reports.

Speaking on a podcast for dating app Bumble, Dami Hope confirmed that the amount the cast get paid isn't going to set their bank accounts alight.

"The money's not that much," he said, accurately.

Back in 2018, Love Island hosted a Christmas reunion that saw Ellie Brown and Charlie Brake have a big fight and Sam Bird confront Georgia Steel about the end of their relationship. It's safe to say that the episode was explosive but what's more shocking is that the reality stars were only paid £10 an hour.

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."
