LOVE Island star Grace Jackson has landed a huge six-figure fashion deal – despite not making it to the final.
The Sun can reveal how the model, 25, has signed a whopping contract with fashion and shoe brand EGO after being inundated with offers following her stint in the villa.
Grace, 25, is the first bombshell from her series, which was won by Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan, to land a brand deal off the back of the show.
A rep for Grace told The Sun: “We are so excited to announce after multiple offers Grace has signed a deal with EGO worth six figures.
“Grace has always loved EGO and the creative ideas really align with her style and personality.
“No other islander has done anything like this for a first brand deal and we know it’s going to be a huge moment for Grace.”
A spokesperson for EGO added: “We’re thrilled to have Grace on board, we knew from the beginning she was the girl for us.
“She’s bold, not afraid to push boundaries and her sense of style is exceptionally EGO.
“The alignment makes complete sense.
“It’s a very exciting time for the brand, we’ve seen unprecedented growth over the past year.
“Grace has tons to give, as do we. We’re ready to get started!”
Grace, who is represented by M Models Management, was previously tipped to be the next Molly-Mae after landing a series of meetings, including one with Pretty Little Thing.
We previously exclusively told how Grace was set to become the first millionaire of the series as the “new Molly-Mae” was inundated with offers.
The model has been inundated with offers of work and has already had a big meeting with online retail giant PrettyLittleThing.
Previously, a source told us: “Grace has turned down work in the past if it hasn’t felt right though so she’s really picking carefully, making sure she gets the deals that really fit in and align with her.
“She’s on course to be a millionaire already and a lot of brands are calling her the next Molly-Mae.”
LOVE Island's Grace Jackson has bagged a six-figure fashion deal with EGO - but who else has triumphed from the 2024 cohort?
The Sun exclusively revealed how the Manchester model, 25, has signed a whopping contract with fashion and shoe brand EGO after being inundated with offers following her stint in the villa.
She the first bombshell from her series, which was won by Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan, to land a brand deal off the back of the show.
Yet it came after make-up artist Samantha Kenny, 27 – an OG in Love Island’s 2024 cast line-up – scooped a big fashion deal with Glamify.
Meanwhile, mental health nurse Mimii, 24 – who triumphed in the show final – is also “set for million pound deals” as brands clamour to work with her.
A source was first to tell us: “Mimii has been taking back to back meetings with five agencies who are all bidding to sign her up.
“She’s being promised everything from TV shows to beauty deals to fashion lines – all worth up to a million.
“Anyone would expect her to rush into signing big money deals but she’s taking her time choosing who she works with.”
Love Island alumni Molly Smith, 30 – who had a second stab during this year’s All Stars series – also scooped a Boohoo deal following her stint on the spin-off.
The exciting news comes just days after Grace called it quits with Reuben Collins.
The couple struggled to make it work thanks to their different locations and busy schedules.
A source said: “Grace and Reuben have come to the mutual decision a romantic relationship isn’t right for either of them at this time.
“Grace wishes Reuben all the best and vice versa. They will remain friends and have no bad feelings towards each other.”
Meanwhile, culture expert Nick Ede believes stunning Grace is going to do very well, despite the fact she and her love interest Reuben Collins were brutally dumped from the island just days before the final.
Nick told us: “She’s absolutely gorgeous. Whether she’s doing yoga or she’s just posing around, she’s stunning.
“I think she could become a brilliant fitness influencer, working for people like Gymshark, doing various different deals and being a model for fashion brands as well. I think she’s got it.”
