Scottish Love Island stars Paige Turley and Camilla Thurlow top Instagram rich list

The highest earning Scottish Love Island contestants have been revealed, with Paige Turley and Camilla Thurlow topping the list.

Anyone who appears on the hit ITV2 dating show is instantly catapulted to fame, as many Love Island contestants ditch their day jobs and opt for influencing instead. Contestants will amass thousands, sometimes even millions, of followers on social media after completing a stint on the dating show.

Research conducted by Wealthify and shared in The Sun revealed that season six fan favourite Paige Turley, and season four star Camilla Thurlow have topped the Instagram rich list.

Since winning the show, Paige has been working on her music career as well as being a fully fledged influencer who has amassed a whopping 1.7million Instagram followers.

She frequently collaborates with brands like Hello Fresh and I Saw It First, and reportedly earns an average of £3744.86 per Instagram post. Paige has previously opened up about finding it hard to be taken seriously as a musician since exiting the show.
