Love Island 2024: Meet the First Millionaire Contestant Set to Echo Molly-Mae’s Success
One Love Island 2024 star is already on their way to becoming a millionaire as they follow in Molly-Mae Hague’s footsteps.
The contestants have only been out of the Mallorcan villa since the end of July but it looks like the stars are already raking it in. Although Josh Oyinsan and Mimii Ngulube won the series, they reportedly won’t be the first ones to reach seven digits in their bank account. According to sources, Grace Jackson is on course to becoming a millionaire.
Ciaran Davies and Nicole Samuel came in second while Matilda Draper and self-proclaimed candyman Sean Stone came in third place. Grace and her partner Reuben Collins were dumped from the villa a week before the final. It has been reported that she has a big meeting with the fast fashion brand, PrettyLittleThing.
A source recently claimed: “Grace has had the offers flying in since she left the villa. She’s worked with a lot of brands for years and they are keen to work with her even more now. She’s got a big meeting with PrettyLittleThing today but is weighing up all her options.”
The insider added to The Sun that she could also be collaborating with a ‘huge beauty brand’ but Grace is taking her time to ‘make sure to get the deals that really fit in and align with her’. The Mirror have contacted Grace’s reps for comment. Molly-Mae, who rose to fame on the same show, amassed a sizeable fortune thanks to her endorsement deals, and highly paid jobs, and her romance with Tommy Fury has advanced to an engagement and parenthood.
Meanwhile, Mimii is on target to rake in millions over the next few months as well. Mimii was loved by fans, who were heartbroken when she returned from Casa Amor only to find her then-boyfriend Ayo Odukoya had coupled up with Jessica. She later set her sights on bombshell Josh, and the couple were crowned winners with 41 per cent of the public vote.
According to the publication, Mimii has been involved in “back-to-back meetings with five agencies” since leaving the villa, and a “bidding” war has broken out to secure her. “She’s being promised everything from TV shows to beauty deals to fashion lines – all worth up to a million. Anyone would expect her to rush into signing big money deals but she’s taking her time choosing who she works with,” the insider claimed.
There were rumours the couple were about to part ways after fans questioned their “connection” outside the villa, but they proved the haters wrong with a steamy photoshoot with OK! magazine. In the accompanying interview, Josh was full of praise for Mimii, and insisted he was never on the show to win the money, but simply wanted to find love.
