We may as well give it to Joey Essex
At the end of Love Island 2024 one couple will go home with the £50k prize fund – but some of them are already earning pretty impressive wages, even before the potential prize and influencer lifestyle.
The Islanders this year have a whole range of jobs outside the villa – from mental health nurses to recruiters, and sweet sales to social media.
Here is a rundown of the average salaries for the jobs the Islanders have in their area, and therefore the wages the Love Island 2024 cast are expected to be earning.
Sean Stone – £20k

Sean sells sweets, we all know this by now. His entrepreneurial venture, an online sweets business called Sweet Delivery, could be earning him about £20k annually, but I guess that depends on how successful his brand really is!
Lolly Hart – £24k

Lolly works as long haul cabin crew, and is from Leicestershire. According to Checkasalary, the average wage for someone in that role in her area is around £24k.

Konnor Ewudzi – £27k

According to Checkasalary, the average wage for a barber in Cornwall, where Konnor is based, is around £27k. However, maybe he should stick around in his role, because the site also estimates he could be earning much more when he hits his 40s.

Brand partnerships associate Jessy would have been earning around the region of £30k in her role before the villa, in her hometown of Leicester.

Ayo Odukoya – £40k

Ayo is a 25-year-old model and footballer from Canning Town. His dual careers could be earning him around £40k, according to idealo.co.uk. Not bad, not bad!
Josh Sunday Oyinsan – £40k
via ITV
What is it with Love Island and boys who are models and semi-pro footballers? Josh has exactly the same two sources of income as Ayo, so the boys are probably paid around the same amount.
