Spending eight weeks in the sunshine in Mallorca flirting with a bunch of hot singletons sounds like a dream holiday.
But that's the reality for the new set of Love Island contestants.
Of course, it's not all sunbathing - there's a hit show to get out - so the stars will be expected to bring the drama.
But what can they expect to earn for offering round-the-clock entertainment?
Apparently they earn £200 a week, or £2.80 an hour according to The Sun .

"All the islanders are getting £200 a week to be on the show," a source said.
"If you break it down to how many hours they’re filming every day it’s absolutely nothing! But they know the end goal is mega-money and fame.
"If they win, it could be £50,000 they leave with or £25,000 if they split the pot. Then they’ll make loads off the back of magazine deals and sponsorships.
"They’re all prepared to take the hit now because this time next year they could be rolling in it."

But it's not just magazine deals that bring in much-needed cash.
One of the biggest sources of income for ex-Islanders is Instagram - pushing out sponsored posts for everything from black toothpaste to skimpy clothing ranges.
It's thought Kem Cetinay can earn up to £8,600 for one post to his two million fans.
Meanwhile, the ladies are big earners too, with Olivia Attwood, Camilla Thurlow and Montana Brown expected to get £6,450, £5,590 and £5,160 per post.
