Oh my gosh, you guys, Love Island: All Stars is HAPPENING again! Seriously, I’m losing it! It’s the third time they’re bringing back the most iconic Islanders from seasons past, and I’m already prepping for a whole winter filled with drama and, hopefully, some real romance. I can’t wait to see who they are and watch the sparks fly!
It seems there’s another key reason the contestants are returning to things like recoupling speeches and challenges this season: many of them are hoping for a financial gain.
Many of this year’s Love Island contestants are struggling financially after becoming famous, with reports of their businesses failing or barely making any money.
Love Island has launched the careers of several well-known personalities, including Molly-Mae Hague, Maura Higgins, and Dani Dyer, who have all become famous after appearing on the show.
Love Island contestants often find success after the show, landing sponsorships, launching their own clothing lines, and appearing on other TV programs. Molly-Mae Hague is a prime example, now estimated to be worth around £9 million thanks to her time on the show.
However, things haven’t gone as well for many of this year’s Islanders since leaving the show, and they’re hoping this appearance will lead to new opportunities and income.
Jess Harding
Although she won Love Island in 2023, her story shows that success on the show doesn’t always lead to lasting happiness or fortune.
Jess is returning for another shot at finding love, following her recent breakup with Sammy Root just two months after their time on the show. She’s also hoping to turn things around with her cosmetic business, which is currently facing financial difficulties.
Candy Aestheticsx Ltd, a beauty salon that opened in August 2023, had only £311 in its account as of May 2025.
Her other company, Candy Media Ltd, which she also founded in August 2023, is performing a bit more strongly. Its financial statements from January show it has £5,146 in reserves.
Whitney Adebayo
Whitney Adebayo, age 28, almost won the competition in 2023, finishing as a close second with her partner, Lochan Nowacki.
Although they appeared very stable, the couple surprised everyone last April when they broke up after a two-year relationship in 2025, and the split was surrounded by disagreement and questions.
The influencer claimed her former partner made racist comments while they were together. He strongly denied the accusations and then sued her for defamation. The two reportedly settled the case in December 2025.
Things aren’t going well for her personally or professionally. Recent financial reports for her performing arts company, Whittbrowns Ltd, which launched in January 2024, reveal very limited funds – just £894 in reserves.
Her hair salon business, Candycornerco Ltd, which she started in January 2019 before appearing on the show, was found to be £6,327 in debt in February 2025 and owed a total of £50,000 to its creditors.
Its latest accounts are also two months overdue.
Whitney’s other hair salon business, Whitney Hair Ltd, was listed as inactive in October. Additionally, her property company, Whitney Adebayo Properties Ltd, was officially dissolved in April 2025 without submitting any financial records.
Leanne Amaning
Leanne Amaning, age 28, was a contestant on the winter 2020 edition of a reality show filmed in South Africa. While on the show, she briefly dated Mike Boateng, who used to be a police officer.
Although she considered joining last year’s season as a late arrival, she’s decided this is the year she’ll participate.
Leanne briefly tried her hand at the cosmetics industry with her company, Gleam Ldn Cosmetics Ltd. However, the business was closed down in 2024 after it was found to have only £21 available in its accounts.
Her company, Baewatch Events Ltd, launched in November 2020, was closed down in August 2022. It had only submitted accounts showing no business activity before being dissolved.
Sean Stone
Sweet salesman Sean Stone is heading back into the villa for a second chance at love.
Finding a partner might also help increase sales of his strawberry laces.
As of accounts in June, his confectionary firm Sweet Delivery Ltd shows only £896 reserves.
Sean’s business has three employees, but is currently facing financial difficulties. While the company owns assets worth £29,692, it also has debts of £28,796.
Charlie Frederick
Charlie is returning to the show seven years after his initial brief stay. He’s been focusing on fitness and now has a much more muscular build.
Charlie’s sports company, Chiseled by Charlie Ltd, launched in September 2021, and by June of the following year, it had accumulated a small debt of £45. He started the business because of his love for sports and healthy living.
Companies House is considering closing the company because it didn’t submit required paperwork by the deadline of October 11, 2025.
His retail business, CF Goods Ltd., which launched in April 2023, was forcibly closed down after just over a year. A previous company he founded, Koa Health Ltd., established in August 2020, was also closed in February 2022 because he didn’t submit the required financial reports.
He also previously ran a watch and jewelry company called Magnos Somnia Ltd, which he established in February 2020. It was forcibly dissolved in April 2022 because he didn’t submit the required financial accounts.
As the contestants on Love Island: All Stars look for love again, they’re also hoping to achieve the same financial success as past winners and popular islanders.
Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury – £9 million
Reports suggest she earned over £1 million from her partnership with L’Oreal and requested a comparable payment for her work with Beauty Works hair extensions.
Molly-Mae Hague’s autobiography, ‘Becoming Molly-Mae’, sold for £20 a copy and reportedly added £2 million to her wealth.
The documentary about influencer Molly-Mae, which included details about her breakup with Tommy, is said to have earned a significant amount of money – over six figures. A second part is scheduled to be released later this month.
Oh my gosh, Tommy is killing it! Seriously, right after leaving the villa he landed a HUGE deal with boohooMAN – we’re talking six figures! And it doesn’t stop there, he’s actually been getting in the boxing ring for celebrity fights! I can’t even handle how amazing he is!
It’s believed he made at least £3.7million from his win over Jake Paul in Riyadh.
Dani Dyer – £7.1 million – 2018 series
Dani Dyer, whose father is known for his role on the TV show EastEnders, became famous on the reality show Love Island. She had previously appeared on another ITV program called Survival of the Fittest, but it wasn’t as successful.
She and Jack Fincham won the show, and viewers loved her because she was funny and straightforward.
Despite their breakup months prior, Dani later found love with West Ham United player Jarrod Bowen, and they got married last summer.
Dani and Jarrod are parents to two children. Dani also has a child from a previous relationship with Sammy Kimmence, who is currently in jail; that child was born in 2021.
After winning Love Island in 2018, she’s successfully used her acting abilities to build a career.
The celebrity came up with the catchy slogan ‘Perf with Surf’ for a Surf washing powder ad, and she also hosts a podcast with her well-known father titled ‘Sorted with the Dyers’.
In 2021, reports showed Dani Dyer earned £250,000 the year before. Financial records for her company, I Want It, I Got It Ltd, revealed she had £318,630 in cash reserves in 2020, which was almost £70,000 more than the £251,318 she had the previous year.
Dani and her father, Danny, co-host a popular podcast called Live and Let Dyers, which has earned Dani a substantial six-figure income.
She’s an author, has built a large following of over three million on Instagram, and successfully launched popular clothing lines with In The Style.
She was scheduled to be on last year’s Strictly Come Dancing, but unfortunately had to withdraw because of an injury.
Amber Davies £3.2 million – 2017 series
Amber Davies, known for her role in London’s West End and her appearance on Love Island, is reportedly worth £3.2 million. She’s now focusing on acting again.
She landed her dream role in the musical 9 to 5, and with over 1.3 million social media followers, she frequently shares behind-the-scenes looks at her life on and off stage.
She’s known for her stage performance as Lorraine Baines in Back to the Future: The Musical and for playing Vivian in Pretty Woman.
She’s now performing in The Great Gatsby at the Coliseum in London, following a successful run in the musical 9 to 5, where she reportedly earned £1.5 million.
During an appearance on Dancing On Ice in 2024, Amber was paid a reported £60,000.
In addition to her acting, she continues to earn income through partnerships, including a £500,000 collaboration with fashion brand Motel Rocks.
In 2025 she also reached the final of Strictly after taking Dani’s place at the last minute.
Amber will be playing Elle Woods in the upcoming UK and Ireland tour of the musical Legally Blonde, starting in February.
Maura Higgins – £3.2 million – 2019 series
Molly-Mae Hague’s friend, Maura Higgins, 34, has reportedly earned £3.2 million, largely through partnerships and deals she secures with her 4.1 million Instagram followers.
Maura quickly became popular with viewers during her time on the show, especially thanks to her sharp sense of humor and memorable argument with fellow contestant Tom Walker, which happened right before they were scheduled to spend a night alone in a private area of the house.
In 2019, Maura’s striking photos were noticed by Elite Model Agency, and she was signed alongside renowned model Naomi Campbell.
In addition, she’s said to have earned £500,000 through partnerships with fashion retailer boohoo and lingerie brand Ann Summers.
Oh my gosh, honestly, I think the thing that really launched Maura to superstardom was when she went on ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ last year. It was HUGE for her, I was glued to the screen! That’s when everyone really started noticing her, I swear!
After appearing on the show, she quickly landed numerous sponsorship deals and is now predicted to make £1.5 million this year.
