Dr Alex George and Anna Vakili spring to mind...

So, thanks to idelo.co.uk (a UK pricing comparison site) who have done all the research, we've decided to find out exactly what all the 2021 contestants were doing before they stepped foot into the villa AND how much they were earning...

Whether they return to their job or not is another story but idealo’s brand and communications manager Katy Phillips has said, "Love Island poses a great opportunity for contestants to win a life changing amount of money, while also catapulting them into the public eye with many landing brand deals as soon as they leave the villa.

"What will be tricky though, is if they’re wanting to return to their previous careers – this may be difficult given the nod to unprofessionalism required for the villa tasks. Hopefully their quadrupled Instagram followings will give them a safety net to figure out their next career move."

In more Love Island related news, Casa Amor bombshell Mary Bedford has opened up about her surgery journey before going into the villa.

In a YouTube video she revealed that she has had a boob job when she was 21, Invisalign and composite bonding on her teeth, a brow lift, Botox procedure and lip filler.

"This is something I’ve never spoken about on Instagram," she said on her YouTube Channel.

"I just haven’t felt comfortable speaking about it. It was an insecurity of mine and I had it done a year ago now. Obviously I am very young, I’m not promoting getting it done young but for me, modelling and seeing myself everyday. I was so skinny at the time and I just had no boobs and I knew that I would never get them naturally."
