LOVE Island is set to produce at least two big winners this year – with a pair of girls in the frame to make millions.
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Gemma Owen are both expected to enjoy vast incomes the moment they leave the villa, according to experts.
The pair are probably not short of a quid or two already – Gemma's dad is multi-millionaire footballer Michael Owen and Ekin was a soap star.
However, they have both reached the milestone of a million followers on Instagram – and that's with a week still to go until the Love Island final.
Digital marketing agency www.10yetis.co.uk said the pair will now be able to command between £70,000 and £80,000 for a single post.
With just one a week, that would translate to more than £4million a year – and that's before other opportunities are included.
The firm's Andy Barr explained that the girls – plus bombshell former star Adam Collard – had the most Insta followers.

He said: "I’d expect to see Ekin-Su and Gemma make the most out of their following once the show finishes, accepting endorsements with a range of brands, promoting products across their social platforms."
However, Adam is thought to be less attractive to advertisers because his following hasn't peaked in a matter of weeks like the others.
The expert added that 2018 star "didn’t leave the best impression after his first stint in the villa".
Ekin-Su is thought to command £78,000 per Instagram endorsement and Gemma around £70,000.
Adam is estimated to be able to make £69,000, Paige Thorne just over £58,000 and Luca Bish a little shy of £53,000.

As Love Island has gone on – and, let's face it, grown far less mucky – brands have clamoured to sign up its stars.
Molly-Mague Hague went from a YouTuber in 2019 to a sought-after celebrity worth an estimated £4.5million today.
Dani Dyer is thought to have made £3.1million after bagging brands like InTheStyle and Surf.
And Maura Higgins – the Islander who Ekin-Su is most frequently compared to – has an estimated £2.5million in the bank. F**ny flutters, indeed.
