The Love Island All Stars cast members are reportedly upset with ITV for not offering them additional payment for their return to the villa after being eliminated.

Unpaid Return to Villa Causes Frustration

Over half a dozen reality stars made an appearance in an episode just before the final, participating in a challenge where they had to vote for the least compatible couple.

Payment Dispute Unfolds

Despite being flown back to South Africa for the dramatic return and grand final, the cast members were disappointed to find out that they would not be compensated for their bonus appearances.

Pushing for More Money

According to sources, the returning stars are pushing ITV for higher pay, arguing that the £2,000 weekly fee is insufficient, especially considering the impact on their social media earnings while in the villa.

ITV Stands Firm

Love Island bosses are reportedly holding their ground on the payment offer, emphasizing that the exposure and profile boost from returning to the show are valuable assets for the cast members.

Focus on Finding Love

A second source mentioned that Love Island producers are actively seeking cast members genuinely interested in finding love, amidst the payment dispute.

The All Stars series replaced the traditional winter edition of Love Island, typically airing in January.
