Love Island All Stars is back again on Monday night with a new line-up of swimwear-clad hopefuls searching for a partner.
The likes of Olivia Hawkins, India Reynolds, Scott Thomas and Curtis Pritchard have jetted to South Africa for the show hosted by Maya Jama.
And now it has been reported that the contestants only cash in £2,000 per week for their appearance on the ITV2 dating show.
A source told The Sun: ‘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 £8K.
‘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.’
MailOnline has contacted ITV for comment.
The cast of Love Island: All Stars will be coupled up by a public vote in the series launch on Monday.
Fans can vote until 9pm on Friday to seal the returning singletons’ fate on who they are paired up with.
In past shows, the islanders had been allowed to chose who they would like to be coupled up with, but bosses are shaking things up for the All Stars series.
Set to air on ITV2 and ITVX, the decision could prove an interesting on as exes Gabby Allen and Marcel Somerville are set to come face to face.
The fitness influencer, 32, claims she hasn’t seen the Blazin’ Squad star, 39, for six years after their relationship ended shortly after their stint in the 2017 series when Marcel cheated on her.
Curtis, Ronnie Vint, Olivia, Scott, Catherine Agbaje, Nas Majeed, Kaz Crossley, Luca Bish, India and Elma Pazar are the initial 12 returning Islanders who will head into the South African villa and be greeted by host Maja Jama.

It comes as Gabby admitted she’s ‘open’ to the prospect of a shock reconciliation with ex-boyfriend Marcel, despite their bitter break-up after discovering he had cheated on her on holiday.
But after the boyband favourite fell victim to infidelity himself, when his wife Rebecca Vieira strayed and subsequently ended their marriage, Gabby believes he may now have learned from his mistakes and could be mature enough to give their romance another go.
Speaking ahead of her return to the ITV2 series, Gabby told MailOnline: ‘I am a big Love Island fan and everyone is hot.
‘I am open in general, not even just on the show but I would like to think that it’s not just looks, I want more from a relationship, I am a bit older, there are certain things I want out of a guy. I am going to be open to everyone and anyone that goes in really.’
On Marcel, she added: ‘Obviously, there’s the elephant in the room that my ex could possibly go in, but we haven’t seen each other for six years.
‘It’s been such a long time, there are no hard feelings, it is what it is. I don’t know if he’s going in, I don’t know how I can actually prepare for that… I am basically preparing myself that he does come in and then if he does, I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

‘I would actually just like to have a conversation with him and hopefully put it all behind us and have some sort of friendship.
‘We know each other very well… we had such an experience with each other last time. There’s no reason why we shouldn’t take the positives from it and hopefully be mates of some sort.’
And she won’t let the fact Marcel, who cheated on Gabby when they were on holiday together in Mexico, being technically married still, as he’s currently going through a divorce, stop a possible romance blossoming.
Gabby explained: ‘I am really happy for him… it’s been such a long time, and he is a bit older as well so that was bound to happen.
‘It’s really hard to read what happened and this is why I also want to talk to him because if he was going in, I hope he’s alright and maybe we can relate to each other in some sort of way.’
Love Island: All Stars returns Monday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
