Love Island All Stars welcomed back some of the biggest and best stars of the show including Scott Thomas, Curtis Pritchard and Gabby Allen and many more.
Last year for the first-ever All Star series, the likes of Georgia Steel, Tom Clare, Hannah Elizabeth and Liberty Poole delivered on the entertainment.
However, after already serving many years in the spot light thanks to their Love Island fame, these islanders didn't make a return to the South Africa villa without a salary this time around - so how much are they getting paid?
A big increase from their pay packet from their original series, islanders have a chance to earn up to £10,000 including the opportunity to win the £50k prize money once more.

How much are the Love Island All Stars cast paid?
According to reports, the cast of the 2024 and 2025 series were paid around £2,000 a week to appear on the show. That means, if they lasted the full five weeks, they could earn a tidy little £10,000.
After the first season started airing a source revealed: “Everyone is being treated the same on Love Island: All Stars, there was no negotiation for stars of the show to take part despite their status and fan base."
During the 2025 series a source told the tabloids: "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 £8,000.
"Obviously 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.
"The reason they sign up, however, is nothing to do with the money – it’s great exposure which allows them to cash in when they leave the villa."
How much do people usually get paid to appear on Love Island?
For the usual cast members, applying for Love Island means leaving behind your normal job and life for a few weeks in the sun looking for love. In this case, it's more about ITV covering expenses rather than paying an actual salary.
So, on a normal series of Love Island, contestants are paid around £375 a week which is typically used to cover rent and bills during their time on the show.
There is of course that lovely prize fund of £50,000 at the end too should the public vote you their number one.
