Our podcast reveals some Islanders are FUMING after the launch show coupling
states that each All Stars contestant signed to receive £2,000 for every week they spend in the villa, with those that make it all the way to the end pocketing £12,000.
Though there is no overall winner's prize, the publicity around the series is sure to earn them all lucrative opportunities.
Jake might have cut his time on the show short, but the Mail claims he will still pocket £2,000.
A source said: "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.

"Jake will have only earned a total of £2,000 to be on the series, which isn't bad for three days' work but wont have been what he was hoping for.
"There isn't a cash prize for the winners either, everyone knows that the Islanders are already famous in their own right so offering a lump sum wasn't what producers wanted."
We revealed today how the 26-year-old decided to go home after discovering the public had coupled him up with his ex Liberty Poole.
A source said: "Jake was really shocked to see Liberty in the villa - they had no idea the other person would be there.

“It was clear from the start they wouldn't get back together, then none of the girls wanted to step forward for him.
“Jake had a nice three days in the villa and had a very emotional chat to Maya Jama.
“Jake couldn't stay in the villa so he quit the show - it's not his time and it's not the right time to find love."
Jake and Liberty met during series seven of the dating show, but their romance came crashing down just days before the final.
Last night the former water engineer looked unimpressed and dismayed as he realised his fate during the coupling up.
After host Maya Jama announced the news, he raged: "I knew it".
Addressing the reunion with his ex flame, Jake said: "I don't hate the girl.
Jake and Liberty were amongst the first to enter the villa – leaving her gobsmacked, and him shaking his head, saying "what are the chances?".
He told the group there "was never any bad blood" between him and Liberty and added that there's "probably a chat to be done".
Before the series started, The Sun quizzed show boss Mike Spencer on whether he thought there was any chance of the former couple getting back together.
He said: “I secretly hope so, I think it would be good. It would be good to see how they interact.

"That's what I'm excited to see, whether they pick up from where they left off. I don't think they've seen each other.
"So I'll be interested to see that first chat.”
