Love Island’s Mimii ‘set for million-pound deals’ as bidding war breaks out over show winner
LOVE Island winner Mimii Ngulube is set to cash in on her reality show fame to the tune of millions.
The villa favourite and boyfriend Josh Oyinsan were crowned 2024 winners beating Ciaran Davies and Nicole Samuel to the £50,000 cash prize.
But that winners pot will pale in comparison to the huge sum Mimii, in particular, will make off the back of the show.
A source said: “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 fans recently suggested Mimii and Josh were “on the brink of a split” following a video posted to the programme’s Instagram page.
They believed the pair’s body language was “giving break up” and questioned their “genuine connection.”
But Josh insisted they are the real deal.
A new photoshoot with OK! Magazine showed the pair looking blissfully in love as the fooled around on a bed.
He said: “I think for me and Mimii our thing was just so authentic.
“We were never thinking about winning – winning was never in the plan.
“My main focus was trying to make my situation with Mimii good.”
Insisting they were strong, mental health nurse Mimii added: “We spoke about things that weren’t just surface level talks, we talked deeply and it would just flow every single time and it was an easy conversation for us to get into.
“We had similar interests, we like the same music and we’re passionate about the same things.”
She added: “We were just very compatible and people could see that.
“What we went through are things that you could potentially go through on the outside, during the talking stage or when you’re dating someone.
“People could relate.”
