The pair, with estimated wealth of £6.5million, are judged to be richer even than the show’s new host Maya Jama, 28, at £5.3million.

The staggering sum is thought to have come as a result of Molly’s PrettyLittleThing partnership, self-tan range and haircare firm.

They in the No26 spot in the Heat Rich List 2022, an annual guide to the UK and Ireland’s richest young stars.

The magazine explained: “A £1m PrettyLittleThing partnership (she’s also creative director on £400k a year), a self-tan range and haircare company – plus an estimated £65k per Insta post – means Molly-Mae’s the most successful Love Islander in history.

“Thanks to his boxing, partner Tommy doesn’t do too badly, either.”

Former winner Amber Gill takes the No30 spot, with an estimated fortune of £4.5million.

None of this year’s stars qualified for the list, though Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, 28, is thought to be the biggest earner at £1.6million.

However, the top spot was taken by a musician, with Harry Styles snatching the crown from Ed Sheeran.

At 31, the Shape Of You singer is now ineligible to appear on the list.

The magazine also listed the higest-earning stars outside the US, with Kylie Jenner, 25, topping the list with £770million.

Second on the chart is Justin Bieber, 28, who has £397million.
