Love Island: All Stars is making a comeback for its third season, bringing back fan-favorite contestants from previous villas who are eager to find love once again this winter.

This season, though, it seems that romance isn’t the only motivation for the returning cast; many are seeking a financial revival as well.

Since their initial stints on the show, several of this year’s participants have experienced financial difficulties, with their business ventures either struggling or generating limited profits.

Former contestants like Molly-Mae Hague, Maura Higgins, and Dani Dyer have managed to transform their Love Island fame into household recognition.

With lucrative brand partnerships, fashion endeavors, and additional TV roles, the ITV reality series has been a gateway to success, notably for Molly-Mae, who now boasts an estimated wealth of £9 million.

Yet for many of this year’s cast, the road post Love Island hasn’t been as fruitful with contestants hoping this villa stint will kick off some more deals and earnings. 

Jess Harding

She was crowned Love Island champion in 2023, but sadly she is proof you don’t always hit the jackpot. 

Back for her second chance at love after her split from Sammy Root just two months after they left Mallorca, Jess will also be hoping to boost her career as her cosmetic firm struggles to make a profit.  

Her beauty salon Candy Aestheticsx Ltd, set up in August 2023, showed to have only £311 in reserves as of last May 2025.

Elsewhere her performing arts firm Candy Media Ltd, also set up in August 2023, is doing slightly better with last January’s accounts showing it has £5,146 reserves.

Whitney Adebayo

Whitney Adebayo, 28, narrowly missed out on winning the show back in 2023 when she and Lochan Nowacki became runners-up.

And despite seeming rock solid, last April the pair shocked fans after they ended their two-year relationship in 2025 under controversial circumstances.

The influencer publicly accused her ex of making racist remarks during their relationship, claims Lochan vehemently denied before launching a defamation case against her. Lochan reportedly reached a mutual understanding in December 2025.

And her relationship isn’t the only thing to have turned sour, after financial reports from her Performing arts firm, Whittbrowns Ltd, set up January 2024, showed reserves of just £894. 

Meanwhile her hairdressing firm Candycornerco Ltd, set up January 2019 prior to her time in the villa, was shown to be in a £6,327 debt in February 2025 and owed £50k to creditors. 

Its latest accounts are also two months overdue. 

Her other hairdressing firm Whitney Hair Ltd filed dormant accounts in October, while her Whitney Adebayo Properties Ltd were voluntarily struck off in April 2025 without filing accounts.

Leanne Amaning

Leanne Amaning, 28, appeared on the 2020 winter series in South Africa where she enjoyed a short-lived romance with former police officer Mike Boateng. 

And despite deciding against entering the villa as a bombshell during last year’s All Stars, she has decided this year is her year. 

Leanne also dabbled in the world of cosmetics with her firm Gleam Ldn Cosmetics Ltd, however the business was compulsory struck off after having just £21 in reserves in 2024.

Her performing arts firm, Baewatch Events Ltd, set up in November 2020, was also voluntarily struck off in August 2022 after only filing dormant accounts. 

Sean Stone

Sweet salesman Sean Stone is heading back into the villa for a second chance at love.

And as well as finding the one, perhaps some time in the spotlight will boost the sales on his strawberry laces. 

As of accounts in June, his confectionary firm Sweet Delivery Ltd shows only £896 reserves.

Sean has three employees, and despite having assets of £29,692 the business also owes creditors £28,796. 

Charlie Frederick

Seven years after his first short-lived appearance in the villa, Charlie is back and after turning his attention to working out he now sports a noticeably more muscular physique. 

Following his passion for sports and health into his businesses, Charlie’s sports firm Chiseled by Charlie Ltd, set up in September 2021, was seen to be in debt by £45 in June of last year. 

There is also an active proposal by Companies House to strike off the firm for failing to file a confirmation statement on time, which was due on October 11 2025.

Meanwhile his retail sales firm CF Goods Ltd, set up in April 2023 was compulsory struck off just over a year later, and his previous firm Koa Health Ltd, set up in August 2020, was struck off in February 2022 after failing to file accounts. 

Exploring a previous business avenue, his watches and jewellery firm Magnos Somnia TM Ltd, set up in February 2020, was also compulsory struck off in April 2022 after again failing to file accounts.

While the Love Island: All Stars contestants attempt for a second a chance at love, and financial prosperity they can be hoping to follow in the footsteps of previous islanders who have topped the show’s rich list. 

Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury – £9 million

Some six years on, 25-year-old Molly-Mae boasts 8.5 million followers on Instagram and has millions in the bank after a host of successful business ventures such as signing a six-figure deal with PLT in 2019.

She was too reportedly paid more than £1million for her L’Oreal brand deal and demanded a similar fee for her Beauty Works hair extensions range. 

Her memoire – Becoming Molly-Mae – sold at a cost of £20 and bulked up her fortune by a reported £2million. 

The influencer’s Molly-Mae: Behind It All documentary which detailed her split from Tommy was reportedly worth six figures, with series two due for release in later this month. 

Meanwhile Tommy, he signed a six figure deal with boohooMAN after leaving the villa and has fought in a number of celebrity boxing bouts.  

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, the daughter of EastEnders star Danny Dyer, shot to fame on Love Island season four after a failed stint on fellow ITV series, Survival of the Fittest. 

She left the show victorious with Jack Fincham and was embraced by the public due to her humour and no-nonsense personality. 

However her and Jack split months later, with Dani later finding love with West Ham United winger Jarrod Bowen, who she tied the knot with last summer. 

Dani and Jarrod share two children together, with the Love Islander also having one with her jailed ex Sammy Kimmence in 2021.

She has capitalised on her skills as an actress thanks to the platform Love Island gave her after winning in 2018.

The star coined the phrase ‘Perf with Surf’ for an advertising campaign with washing powder Surf and she has a podcast with her famous father called Sorted with the Dyers.

In 2021 it was revealed she had raked in a whopping £250,000 the previous year, with accounts for Dani’s firm I Want It, I Got It Ltd showing the star had a cash reserve of £318,630 for 2020, a near £70,000 increase from £251,318 in 12 months.

Dani’s podcast with her similarly-named father Danny, titled Live and Let Dyers, has also been a major earner with the TV personality reportedly paid a six figure sum to host the show. 

She has written a book, gained more than three million Instagram followers and released lucrative clothing collections with In The Style. 

She was also set to star in last year’s series of Strictly Come Dancing, but was forced to pull out due to injury.  

Amber Davies  £3.2 million –  2017 series 

West End star Amber Davies is said to be worth £3.2million having returned to her acting roots after her Love Island stint.

Having successfully auditioned for her dream role in Dolly Parton’s musical 9 to 5, she also has 1.3million followers on social media and often gives them a glimpse at life backstage.

She previously starred on stage in Back to the Future: The Musical where she played Lorraine Baines and also bagged a role in Pretty Woman as Vivian. 

She’s currently appearing in The Great Gatsby in London’s Coliseum theatre, after netting a reported £1.5 million during her time in 9 to 5 the musical.  

During an appearance on Dancing On Ice in 2024, Amber was paid a reported £60,000.

As well as her theatre work, she still makes money from collaborations, having landed a £500,000 deal with fashion brand Motel Rocks.

In 2025 she also reached the final of Strictly after taking Dani’s place at the last minute. 

In her latest role, Amber is taking on the role of Elle Woods for the UK and Ireland tour of Legally Blonde which kicks off in February.  

Maura Higgins – £3.2 million –  2019 series 

Molly-Mae’s good pal Maura Higgins, 34, is said to be worth £3.2 million, using her impressive 4.1 million Instagram following to help her bring in some deals.

Maura won an army of fans during her time on the show, with her quick wit and notorious showdown with model Tom Walker becoming iconic as they were due to spend the night in the hideaway.

Her sensational snaps caught the attention of Elite Model Agency in 2019, with Maura joining the likes of Naomi Campbell on their books.

She also reportedly netted a total of £500,000 for her work with clothing brand boohoo and lingerie giant Ann Summers.

But arguably the biggest contributor to Maura’s fortune was her appearance on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! late last year. 

A heap of brand deals followed meaning the reality star is expected to earn £1.5 million this year alone.
