After having had their faces on the big screen for eight weeks, causing an obscene amount of drama, and then going on to dump their holiday fling just weeks after exiting the villa, many Islanders are valiantly rewarded for their service with a hefty brand deal. After styling clothes purely from eBay throughout the show, it’s ironic that many Love Islanders partner with fast fashion brands immediately after leaving the show.

It’s obvious that many contestants apply purely for the clout and the unspoken promise of that six-figure brand deal. You can call it disingenuous or you can call it being on that grind but either way, these Islanders have been seriously raking in the cash since leaving the show. So, here’s a list of all the Love Islanders with fast fashion brand deals which brought in the most cash. Maybe it’s time to send those applications in…

Another set of uni rankings has just been released and this time it’s the QS World University Rankings 2025. This year’s ranking looks at over 1,500 universities across 105 higher education systems to tell us the very best universities on the planet.

But you might not care about things like research quality and actually just care about whether the uni you go to will help you get a job when you graduate.

Well, included in the rankings is an employer reputation score which ranks each university on how well they are respected by grad employers and employers more broadly. Each university is given a score from one to 100 on this.

At the bottom, it’s not good news for York grads as York has the lowest employer reputation score of all the Russell Groups. At 30.1 out of 100, it is ranked 313th in the world for how impressed employers are with a York degree. This is closely followed by Queen’s University Belfast with 33.6 and Queen Mary University of London at 36.9.
