Monday 1st June marks the return of one of the UK's beloved reality TV shows, Love Island.
The series sees a number of single contestants enter an isolated villa, currently based in Mallorca, with islanders required to couple up to avoid being dumped from the show.
The show contains a number of twists and turns throughout, including public votes, controversial games and bombshell entrances, continuously testing relationships.
This summer will mark the 13th UK series of Love Island, and the popularity of the programme has increased so much since it's debut series in 2015 that spin-off shows Love Island Games and Love Island All Stars have been introduced.
Read on as we take a look at how much Love Island contestants are paid for participating in the show.
How much are Love Island contestants paid?
While former Love Island contestant Demi Jones revealed that she earned £250 a week when appearing on series six, season 10 islander Tyrique Hyde has since revealed that, as of 2023, contestants get paid £375 a week.
Nearly all islanders have to leave or take a long break from their jobs, and so the payment helps cover bills and expenses back home.
For Love Island All Stars, it's said that the contestants are paid between £2,000-£3,500 a week. This likely accounts for a greater loss of income, with a number of the All Stars veterans entering the villa as established influencers, models, and public figures.
On both Love Island and Love Island All Stars, the winning couple takes home a cool £50,000, which is typically split between the couple, seeing each islander pocket £25,000.
