The show might be a fast-track to a more lucrative influencer career, but do Love Island contestants get paid for the time they spend in the famous villa? As you can imagine, the creators of the series like to keep that kind of information under wraps, but the existence of a weekly fee has come to light as more and more cohorts of Islanders are assembled. Appearing on Love Island UK tends to catapult Islanders to fame almost overnight. But aside from the winning couple who get to take home a huge cash prize, the rest of the cast aren't be reimbursed particularly well for the weeks spent battling scorching sun and high drama—even if they are living it up in a luxury villa. However, a lucky few will be able to find their fortune post-villa by enticing big brands with their bolstered social media followings, having created some of the most memorable Love Island moments. Here's everything we know about this weekly fee.

Do Love Island contestants get paid?

While potentially finding the love of their lives is a big draw for the singletons appearing on the show, there is also a significant amount of money on the table for the winning couple as together the champions take home a £50,000 prize. However, they and their fellow Islanders do also receive payment for their time in the villa, where they spend their away days sunbathing beside the pool and partying at night (if you're wondering where Love Island UK is filmed, it's changing this year). That said, it's not a huge amount. According to a 2022 article on The Sun (opens in new tab), each contestant receives £250 per week—a slight increase from the £200 paid to contestants back in 2018—to cover rent, bills and other costs while they are away filing the series. While it might not seem insignificant, a source pointed out: "If you break it down to how many hours they’re filming every day, it’s absolutely nothing!" It seems when the Islanders were required to quarantine per the Spanish entry requirements in place because of the Covid-19 pandemic, they also received the weekly fee for the extra time spent ahead of their entry to the villa. Marie Claire (opens in new tab) reported that 2021 contestant Priya Gopaldas shared on Instagram that she had received £750 for her eight-day stint on the series—indicating she had been paid for the extra fortnight away, too. The medical student also revealed that she had gave the money to charity.

The prize money is nice, but it's really contestant's earning potential after they leave villa that can make going on Love Island a lucrative move—and not just for those crowned the winners, like season 8's Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti.

Many former Islanders have been able to use their newfound huge social media reach for sponsorship deals and other commercial opportunities. "I think women off Love Island make more money and are financially more lucrative," Sharon Gaffka told My Imperfect Life, regarding who tends to make most money after the villa.
