So cancel your plans and get ready for a summer of drama, laughter and love as we watch the islanders battle it out for love and the chance of winning the 50,000 cash prize. The winning couple voted by the public then have to decide whether to split or steal the winning cash money. So far all Love Island contestants have decided to split the winnings, but who knows, maybe this year will bring something new. During the time the islanders are in the villa they get paid a weekly wage, which is meant to cover their bills, rent and utilities at home whilst away. In 2018 contestants were paid 200 a week, increasing to 250 in 2019. This years islanders are expected to receive 250 a week pay.

A source in 2020 told The Sun: "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!  Adding "But they know the end goal is mega-money and fame. "They're all prepared to take the hit now because this time next year they could be rolling in it!" This is where the big money comes in. It's the time the Islanders can expect to not only see an increase in Instagram followings but also financially. Once leaving the villa the majority of the Islanders are expected to receive deals and contracts, including a dramatic increase in their social media following which brings in money in itself.

Runner up 2019, Molly-Mae Hague signed a 500,000 clothing deal with Pretty Little Thing after leaving the island. And with an Instagram following of over 5.6M, Molly-Mae reportedly earns around 65,520 every time she posts a sponsored post. Alongside her in 2019 and still going strong, partner and boxer, Tommy Fury reportedly makes over 7K per Instagram post and is worth 2.4m.

With fewer followings, Amber can still earn an estimated 13,769 per Instagram post. With a combination of increased Instagram followings and signed contracts, islanders can earn a whopping sum of money after leaving the villa. Opportunities open and many later become millionaires, its no surprise the islanders accept 250 a week during the show.
