And as promoters scramble to cash in on their popularity, many are charging sky-high fees to attend club nights and events.

The highest earner is former motor sport grid girl Olivia Attwood, 26, who is demanding £10,000 per hour — despite only finishing third in the show.

Amber Davies, 20, who romped to victory with Kem Cetinay, charges £5,000 per hour.

Kem, 21, also charges £5,000 to show up at venues and sign autographs.

Gabby Allen, 25, is paid the same amount.

And Jessica Shears, 23, one of the first to leave the villa this year, also demands that much for one appearance.

A source said: “This year was Love Island’s biggest yet, and the show’s cast have never been in more demand.

“Promoters are prepared to pay huge sums for them to even show their faces at an event, and so the majority are making the most of it.

“Some, like Kem and Amber, have a shot at TV careers, but quite a few of the others are destined to fade back into obscurity.

“So their attitude is that they should make hay while the sun shines.”
