The wages the Love Island 2025 cast earned in jobs before the show prove who needs the £50k

It’s that time of year, where the final of Love Island is coming around, so everyone is talking about the prize fund. Then, the Islanders will have to return to real life, and for some of them, their jobs. God forbid! But for some, they might want to seriously consider packing in the day job for a life of being an influencer, as the wages they were earning before Love Island 2025 were quite impressive.

Here’s a breakdown of the jobs the Love Island 2025 cast had before the show, and the average wages these positions hold.

Meg – £25k

via ITV

Meg is from Southampton, and her pre villa job was as a payroll specialist. The estimated salary for a payroll specialist is £25,423 per year in the Southampton area, as per Glassdoor. Meg will most likely sack this in for a life of influencing and brand deals after the show, mind you.

Angel – £35k

Angel is from Maidstone, where she works as an aesthetics practitioner and salon owner. Where she works might be a reason behind why she’s had such a huge glow up before the show.

Cach – £35k
