Love Island’s Siannise Fudge and Luke Trotman ‘are charging fans £91 for video messages’

Siannise Fudge and Luke Trotman are selling personalised videos to fans after losing work because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The Love Island stars have taken to website Cameo, which allows fans to get custom video messages from celebrities, and are charging £91 for the service, according to The Sun. 

Encouraging their fans to get in touch, the pair wrote on their profile: ‘Hey Guys it’s Luke T and Siânnise Fudge, love island 2020 runners up!

‘Hit us up with your requests! Birthdays, anniversaries, congratulations or just a general fun video! We’d love to help.’

Siannise and Luke are donating funds from the videos to GLAAD, an LGBT media advocacy organisation. 

One review said: ‘This was the BEST gift I could have gotten to congratulate my friend on her new job! She screamed as soon as they said her name and literally cried because Siânnise and Luke were so warm and genuine.

‘It didn’t seem scripted at all even though I of course told them what to say (and they included everything I asked for!). Just the best, best experience and worth every single penny.’

Stars set their own prices for their Cameo video messages with charges varying greatly. 

Siannise and Luke appear to have made their profile temporarily unavailable after they recently moved into their new flat.

It comes after the couple were revealed to be Love Island’s top TikTok earners in lockdown. 

The beauty consultant and the footballer who have 874,000 and 1.1 million followers respectively – are said to have amassed an impressive £39,000 from the platform after captivating fans with their dance and exercise videos.

It comes after the stars of the winter series of the ITV2 reality show were estimated to have missed out on £500,000 in lost earnings due to the coronavirus lockdown coming into force shortly after their season ended.

According to online marketplace OnBuy, Luke is the highest earner, making an estimated £878.89 per post, amassing total earnings of £22,851.14 since lockdown began. 

Siannise sits in third place with £702.30 per post and has a current estimated total earnings of around £16,379 – meaning the couple, who finished the series in second place, have earned nearly £40,000. 

This comes amid claims the stars of Love Island’s inaugural winter series have lost £500,000 in ‘missed opportunities’, a PR expert had predicted.

Yet amid the coronavirus pandemic, Jack Cooper of EdHopkinsPR revealed to Metro that stars have missed key moneymaking moments which have previously bagged stars up to millions of pounds.

He said: ‘They are also missing out on club appearances due to them being closed, which could have earned them up to £5,000 per hour’.

While the show has made millionaires out of many of its contestants, including Olivia Buckland, Alex Bowen, Dani Dyer and Chris Hughes, PR expert Jack has predicted that this year’s contestants will have such chances thwarted.

He went on: ‘With no events to attend, they are also missing out on a huge range of exposure in the media, having no stories for the press to write about…

‘The Winter Love Island stars are set to lose huge amounts of money, some contestants up to £500,000. Brand deals at the moment are at an all-time low. 

‘Many of the participants have approached us to represent them during this tough time. Due to our books being full and also the lack of opportunities in the industry at this time, we have had to decline them.’ 

Despite this, he predicts couples who are still together stand a better chance, as he said: ‘People are interested in keeping up to date with what they are doing, especially if they are isolating together…

‘Being in a couple brings up their financial worth, and in some circumstances could secure them a deal of up to £10,000.’
