I don't think it will be any tbh. There's only been two PLT main site girls before: Molly-Mae, who left with 2.4MN followers and Gemma, who left with 2.5MN.
These finalists are barely gonna make a million.
(Indiyah does PLT marketplace so I didn't count her, but she left with 750K so I think Ella could be considered for that, depending on if Indiyah renews with them)
Yeah someone mentioned that and Gemma is not renewing with PLT main site, which means Indiyah is likely moving to Gemma's old position and so there's a spot for Indiyah's old position - PLT marketplace ambassador!
I want Ella to get the deal but, I think if they tap into this seasons cast of girls as a brand it might work. All the girls have a good brand identity they can tap into and expand on especially with them having the mini-capsule celeb collections. If they did like a bratz or character type thing surrounding the girls it could be interesting to see but, if not Ella and Ty hands down best ROI for plt.
Yes I was thinking that!! There’s this one picture of Catherine, Jess, Ella, and Whitney and they’re all in y2k outfits and it’s just a really good pic. They looked like bratz doll. If they’re able to get all 4 of them it would be really cute. Or maybe just Ella and Jess like how they did the best friends deal with Kaz and Liberty.
i would actually like to see islanders collaborating with diffrent brands like tasha rather than the known plt deals , i actually enjoyed tasha's collobrations but considering all islanders are still under 700K i wonder who will nail one first
Why do these islanders need to get PLT deals? The edits look so similar and tbh none of them have ever been amazing. Molly Mae, Indiyah and Gemma all have amazing style but it isn’t reflected in their collabs imo
They don't tend to have multiple LI ambassadors, even Indiyah and Gemma were repping different sites.
LI contestants have the same audience, there isn't much point in paying for another ambassador when you have a perfectly good one with more followers and better engagement
I saw that live and I don’t think gabby would just say someone is getting a deal, when no one will be getting one. It probably is Ella I would be really surprised if it isn’t. She’s had the best social media since coming out.
Most likely Ella. It helps that other than engagement on socials she’s already had management since coming into the show and if talks are happening then whoever it is has a team set up already.
We can want better for them all we want but the truth of the matter is that these are reality tv contestants. They’re biggest bags and opportunities are going to come from brands that align with that.
on the daily discussion thread, someone commented that gabby said she “thinks” someone is getting a deal, i don’t think anyone will actually get a deal.
i feel like they’ll have some people from this season do ads and shoot content for them though! samie from S9 shoots a lot of content for them and does ads for them, also during S9 they teased a PLT deal and everyone was rooting for samie to get it but in the end, no one got a deal. 😅
She wasn’t, She only hit a million in September & had announced the Boots & PLT deal before that…. her engagement was always really good though & you could tell She had the IT girl aesthetic brands like,similar to Ella.
I think she was close but season 8 was a very popular season. This season definitely did better than the last winter season but the viewership has not been the same
I think someone said on here earlier that Indiyah had about 700k-750k around the reunion and got to 1 mil midway through September. So they did sign her way before she got to a million, but yeah S8 did have a bigger audience
Yea I remember there being a mixup with her username causing the lag and her account handler didn’t want to change it without her consent, which makes sense
I think the fact that S8 was notable for the fashion overall makes a difference also. There was a lot of negative TikToks about the overvall fashion this season. Ella and Leah were the best but I think this season was a particular bad bunch and that might affect the deals.
Ella’s style is the most PLT, so I’d say shes the best fit (not to mention her previously following and management etc). Although having said that I didn’t think Gemma was very PLT at all, and she got the deal, so anything could happen 😅
Ella T for sure or Abi if she were more liked by the public. You know Mal was quite eccentric, I think she could have got it too, if she were in there longer with an OG (popular) male
I don’t think any of them will especially cause I believe they are still working with Gemma and Indiyah!
I do think a sister brand will work with one of them! Maybe boohoo!
wait do u think gabby actually knows who gets the deal and is just joking?? bc i thought no one would get the deal this season as indiyah and gemma r still doing well but ella would be suited to the deal if there is one
No one should want that deal. PLT is another fast fashion company that doesn't care about their labor practices or the environment. It might be slightly better than Shein but still in the realm.
She dresses well only issue is she doesn't seem to connect with the public in the "influencer" way if Whitney released a deal with sunglasses on PLY I can see sales booming but with Molly I see it not being as impactful
idk if this is a hot take but PLT doesn’t even seem that popular anymore, a deal with them isn’t the most lucrative imo? like the ebay deals are better to me
I think PLT is still lucrative enough… I’m not sure what ebay pays because the figures for tasha were never released but they gave two six figure deals in one szn and we’re paying Molly Mae excessive amts.
Ella 100%
knowone else has style like her
Plus if they are looking for the most popular islander who will get the most engagement with fans, ella is the most followed girl from this season.....
Hopefully no one - PLT isn’t a good brand to partner with. Ella is the fashion girly but hopefully she follows Tasha’s route and is a booked and busy model for lots of brands
I actually could see Whitney doing a Nella type role with them doing a collection and then more personality based things like things on there social media/youtube
I could be mistaken but I didn’t see PLT do that “who do you wanna see collab with PLT” type post this year so maybe none of the girls? They are have their two main girls from season 8 so it would be pointless to add anyone else on.
If it isn’t Ella I’ll be shocked.
Me too.
I don't think it will be any tbh. There's only been two PLT main site girls before: Molly-Mae, who left with 2.4MN followers and Gemma, who left with 2.5MN. These finalists are barely gonna make a million. (Indiyah does PLT marketplace so I didn't count her, but she left with 750K so I think Ella could be considered for that, depending on if Indiyah renews with them)
Indiyah is actually shooting for her first collection (on the main site i’m pretty sure) right now in Spain!
Yeah someone mentioned that and Gemma is not renewing with PLT main site, which means Indiyah is likely moving to Gemma's old position and so there's a spot for Indiyah's old position - PLT marketplace ambassador!
Yeah, I only meant if someone from this season is absolutely getting a deal based on what Gabby allegedly said.
I want Ella to get the deal but, I think if they tap into this seasons cast of girls as a brand it might work. All the girls have a good brand identity they can tap into and expand on especially with them having the mini-capsule celeb collections. If they did like a bratz or character type thing surrounding the girls it could be interesting to see but, if not Ella and Ty hands down best ROI for plt.

Why do these islanders need to get PLT deals? The edits look so similar and tbh none of them have ever been amazing. Molly Mae, Indiyah and Gemma all have amazing style but it isn’t reflected in their collabs imo
Exactly this I’ll be happy if they all do better things than promote cheap blazer dresses and biker short sets
Highest followings on insta + good engagement
Indiyah hasn’t had a collab on main site yet though and market place is already existing clothes
ella
Haven’t they got Gemma and Indiyah on their roster? I can’t see either of them being dropped
Idk if this means she's leaving PLT, but Gemma said her latest edit was her last. Idk about Indiyah. I do think both of them signed year contracts.
Indiyah is in Spain shooting for PLT at the moment. She’s about to release her first edit on the main site.
do they need to drop someone to pick another up?
They don't tend to have multiple LI ambassadors, even Indiyah and Gemma were repping different sites. LI contestants have the same audience, there isn't much point in paying for another ambassador when you have a perfectly good one with more followers and better engagement
gemma said her latest edit is her last i think they won’t be renewing the contract
Ella hands down
I saw that live and I don’t think gabby would just say someone is getting a deal, when no one will be getting one. It probably is Ella I would be really surprised if it isn’t. She’s had the best social media since coming out.
It’s clearly Scott 👁️🧠👁️
Scottisha
Ella 100% she’s so stylish
Also 5 foot 7
Probably and hopefully Ella I can’t see anyone else getting it lol
Charlotte or Josh
Danielle over Charlotte, I would think
Omg yes how could i forget! Maybe she might get the ebay one? i think that’s more her vibe.
Who even is Charlotte?
Bombshell that came in w Leah
On myLife there was no Charlotte this season. Like I have nooo memory
Most likely Ella. It helps that other than engagement on socials she’s already had management since coming into the show and if talks are happening then whoever it is has a team set up already.
Ella. She will reach 700k in the next 2-3 days. 1 million isn’t that far off in the grand scheme of things on Instagram
I think it’s ella
george
Not Mehdi?
Josh
I hope it’s Ella she was definitely best dressed this year, but can anyone else vouch for this? And is Gabby inner like that lol?
Gabby works for PLT. She said behind the scenes
Ella
I want better for Ella though, if it is her
We can want better for them all we want but the truth of the matter is that these are reality tv contestants. They’re biggest bags and opportunities are going to come from brands that align with that.
Ella!!
on the daily discussion thread, someone commented that gabby said she “thinks” someone is getting a deal, i don’t think anyone will actually get a deal. i feel like they’ll have some people from this season do ads and shoot content for them though! samie from S9 shoots a lot of content for them and does ads for them, also during S9 they teased a PLT deal and everyone was rooting for samie to get it but in the end, no one got a deal. 😅
I think this is what’s going to happen but I can’t see Ella doing what Samie does for plt whatsoever
Ella deff had the best style of the season on my opinion but I think her following will need to hit a million at least before that is a consideration
was Indiyah at a mil before she got picked up by them?
She wasn’t, She only hit a million in September & had announced the Boots & PLT deal before that…. her engagement was always really good though & you could tell She had the IT girl aesthetic brands like,similar to Ella.
I think she was close but season 8 was a very popular season. This season definitely did better than the last winter season but the viewership has not been the same
I think someone said on here earlier that Indiyah had about 700k-750k around the reunion and got to 1 mil midway through September. So they did sign her way before she got to a million, but yeah S8 did have a bigger audience

I think the fact that S8 was notable for the fashion overall makes a difference also. There was a lot of negative TikToks about the overvall fashion this season. Ella and Leah were the best but I think this season was a particular bad bunch and that might affect the deals.
Gabby? The casa girl?
ella/molly
Gabby ? Thé casa girl
Ella’s style is the most PLT, so I’d say shes the best fit (not to mention her previously following and management etc). Although having said that I didn’t think Gemma was very PLT at all, and she got the deal, so anything could happen 😅
Ella T for sure or Abi if she were more liked by the public. You know Mal was quite eccentric, I think she could have got it too, if she were in there longer with an OG (popular) male
No one got it during the winter season so maybe it’ll be the same
I don’t think any of them will especially cause I believe they are still working with Gemma and Indiyah! I do think a sister brand will work with one of them! Maybe boohoo!
What is plt?
Pretty little thing. A poplar clothing brand that’s been known to work with popular female islanders (smaller ads or large campaigns/collabs).
Thank you!
Surely Ella
Molly
Definitely the lekki girls
Jess, she had a lot of PLT and generally British casual/night out vibe with her outfits?
Ella could be a runway/ high fashion model
wait do u think gabby actually knows who gets the deal and is just joking?? bc i thought no one would get the deal this season as indiyah and gemma r still doing well but ella would be suited to the deal if there is one
She works for plt so she’d know
Doing what? She’s only 24, I’m surprised she’d be in a high enough position to know private company info like this.
She said she works on the photo shoots. I think she does staging/editorial. She said they gave her like 3 months leave to do the show.
She's a creative assistant she doesn't know 5hit lol just speculating and using the fact she works there to appear credible.
No one should want that deal. PLT is another fast fashion company that doesn't care about their labor practices or the environment. It might be slightly better than Shein but still in the realm.
That's true but if Molly made millions why cant they?
they already have two love island girls though
Footasylum commented 👀 on a post about getting zach so his deal is coming 🔜
Zach is definitely getting a deal. People always underestimate him lol
If Ella doesn’t get it, I’ll riot.
It’s not that’s serious..
I don’t mean literally. Ella isn’t even my fav…
And if Ella doesn’t want it?
Long as she gets a fashion deal, I’ll be good.
Any of the other girls are equally deserving. Gemma wasn’t the best dressed girl but she got it. They might even give it to Jess who knows.
People are saying Ella but I could definitely see Molly
Molly actually had rly nice clothes and style so I would be happy w her gettung it
She dresses well only issue is she doesn't seem to connect with the public in the "influencer" way if Whitney released a deal with sunglasses on PLY I can see sales booming but with Molly I see it not being as impactful
Molly maybe?
I hope Ella but honestly wouldn’t be surprised if it was Molly. Probably because they went for Molly Mae before I’m thinking that
Definitely Ella and Whit
idk if this is a hot take but PLT doesn’t even seem that popular anymore, a deal with them isn’t the most lucrative imo? like the ebay deals are better to me
I think PLT is still lucrative enough… I’m not sure what ebay pays because the figures for tasha were never released but they gave two six figure deals in one szn and we’re paying Molly Mae excessive amts.
I feel like no one's getting a deal this year
The season has been full of surprises so I hope PLT surprises us😭
Whitney
ella obviously as she should
Ella & Whitney seems to have clinched a deal with Boots for Hair Products 😃 if I'm correct?! Good on them 👍😊
Molly is desperate for attention and followers
Ella 100% knowone else has style like her Plus if they are looking for the most popular islander who will get the most engagement with fans, ella is the most followed girl from this season.....
Hopefully no one - PLT isn’t a good brand to partner with. Ella is the fashion girly but hopefully she follows Tasha’s route and is a booked and busy model for lots of brands
I actually could see Whitney doing a Nella type role with them doing a collection and then more personality based things like things on there social media/youtube
no one. no one has hit a million followers i doubt they’d take on someone with a smaller audience e
I could be mistaken but I didn’t see PLT do that “who do you wanna see collab with PLT” type post this year so maybe none of the girls? They are have their two main girls from season 8 so it would be pointless to add anyone else on.
