And now it has been reported that contestants are only paid £2,000 a week for their appearance on the ITV2 dating show.
A source said the sun: ‘The entire All Stars cast earns £2,000 a week for appearing on the series, so if they stick around for the entire series, they’ll rack up just over £8,000.

‘They could earn a lot more on other shows like Strictly or Celebrity Masterchef, and it’s certainly not as lucrative as club personal assistants or the money they make from Instagram ads.

Speaking ahead of her return to the ITV2 series, Gabby told MailOnline: “I’m a big Love Island fan and they’re all hot.
“I’m open in general, not just on the show, but I’d like to think it’s not just about looks, I want more of a relationship, I’m a little older, there are certain things I want from a guy. I’m going to be open to everyone and anyone who actually comes in.”
Of Marcel, she added: “Obviously, there’s an elephant in the room that my ex could possibly walk into, but we haven’t seen each other in six years.”
‘It’s been so long, there are no hard feelings, it is what it is. I don’t know if he’s going to come in, I don’t know how I can prepare for that… I’m basically preparing for him to come in and then if he does, I’ll cross that bridge when he comes. he.
The boy band favorite was a victim of infidelity when his wife Rebecca Vieira strayed and subsequently ended their marriage.
“Actually, I’d like to have a conversation with him and hopefully put it all behind us and have some kind of friendship.”
‘We know each other very well… we had that same experience last time. There’s no reason why we shouldn’t take the positives and hopefully be partners of some sort.
And she won’t let the fact that Marcel, who cheated on Gabby when they were vacationing together in Mexico, is technically still married as he’s currently going through a divorce, stop a potential romance from blossoming.
Gabby explained, “I’m really happy for him… it’s been a long time and he’s a little older too, so that had to happen.”
“It’s very difficult to understand what happened and that’s why I also want to talk to him, because if he was going to come in, I hope he’s okay and maybe we can relate in some way.”
Love Island: All Stars returns on Monday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
