The Love Island All Stars cast will be picking up rather less than you might imagine, according to reports. While the former ITV2 stars might routinely be getting £5,000 for an Instagram post, it’ll be rather less than that in the villa.
The Sun reports the stars heading in – reported to incude Curtis Pritchard, Scott Thomas and Gabby Allen – will pick up £2,000 a week.
A source told The Sun: “The All Stars cast all earn £2,000 a week to appear on the series, so if they stay in for the whole run, they’ll bank just over £8K.

“It’s more than they’d earn doing a regular job, but as far as reality TV salaries go, it’s not that huge.
“They could earn a lot more on other shows like Strictly or Celebrity Masterchef, and it’s certainly not as lucrative as the club PAs or the money they rake in from Instagram ads. However, the reason they sign up is nothing to do with the money – it’s great exposure which allows them to cash in when they leave the villa.”
Love Island legends Kaz Crossley, Luca Bish, Marcel Somerville and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu are also headed to South Africa for another chance at villa romance, according to reports. A source told The Sun : “All Stars worked so well last year by introducing show legends as bombshells, so they have decided to chuck a load more in again.”
“Molly Smith won after entering as a bombshell at the end of night one, so it’s all to play for.”
