LOVE Island winners go from adjusting their bikinis to settling into life as Instagram megastars – having walked away with a pocket full of cash.

Once they’ve banked their half of the 50,000 prize they turn to brand deals and personal appearances to make more money – but has the gravy train run dry for any of the former winners?

We take a look at the champions from seasons one to six and whether they made the most of their Island treasure.

Jessica Hayes and Max Morley – series 1

Jessica Hayes and Max Morley won the first series of rebooted Love Island in 2015

The first winners of the rebooted show split just six weeks after leaving the villa in 2015.

Jessica went on to have baby boy Presley last year with fianc Dan Lawry and she is now milking opportunities through social media as a mummy blogger and fashion influencer.

She’s also had a successful career as a glamour model and enjoys a string of sponsorship deals thanks to her 400 thousand followers on Instagram and 250 thousand on fashion marketplace 21 Buttons.

Jessica became a mum last year
Max briefly dated Laura Anderson

Meanwhile her former fella Max insists he is “not a blogger” to his 257 thousand Insta followers, but still plays a bit of cricket for Durham.

He’s single after his recent fling with 2018 Love Island Laura Anderson fizzled out.

Cara De La Hoyde and Nathan Massey – series 2

The winners from 2016 had a rocky start when they left the villa, but they reunited a few weeks before Cara gave birth to their son Freddie-George.

Brand deals and sponsored social media posts are now the couple’s bread and butter and have allowed Nathan to stay off the building site where he was first plucked from obscurity.

The couple racked in cash with a magazine deal for the exclusive rights to their wedding last summer.

And stints on Towie last year also helped boost their earnings.

Amber Davies and Kem Cetinay – series three

The 2017 winners Kem and Amber only lasted 132 days before calling it a day

Kem and Amber split after just 132 days of dating – yes we counted – following a string of rows.

They may not have found enduring love but they haven’t done too badly as they have both earned more than 1 million since leaving the villa.

Amber can be found in West End musical 9 to 5, while Kem is a presenter on This Morning.

Despite seeming to be the perfect match they called off their union in April 2019 – but split hasn’t effected Dani‘s earning power after she landed her own clothing line with In The Style and released a book, What Would Dani Do?

The star, who returned to the arms of ex boyfriend Sammi Kimmence, is still smashing the Instagram game and rakes in up to 4000 per post,calling herself an author and presenter after nabbing a spot fronting MTV’s True Love or True Lies.
