Love Island’s Dom Lever could make ‘£80K’ as he books 40 club appearances – more than his days in the villa
Ex-Islanders announces tour and could make £2000 at each club
LOVE Island star Dom Lever is making the most of his five minutes of fame – by lining up as many money-making nightclub appearances as he can.
The reality star has released his list of ‘tour’ dates – and there’s so many that he’s going to be touring clubs for more nights than he actually spent in the villa.
Dom was in the villa for just 28 days, while his lucrative club tour is set to last 40 days as he travels the length and breadth of the country to meet his fans.
And as The Sun Online previously revealed, public appearances can earn a reality star up to £2,000 a pop – which means he could earn an eye-watering £80,000 from the tour.
But as Dom announced his tour news on Instagram some of his followers were less than impressed.
One person wrote: “Oh my god 😂😂😂 he was on the tv screen for approx like 34 mins in total and he's doing a UK tour is he for real 🙈.”
While another cruelly commented: “This is tragic mate. You'll be forgotten by mid august.”
Dom left the villa at the start of July and immediately rekindled his romance with Jessica Shears, who left the show before him.
The couple appear to be going from strength to strength, despite claims Jess had also slept with Muggy Mike and have been working hard to build up their brand.
A PR expert told The Sun Online the couple could earn “hundreds of thousands of pounds” if they worked hard on their image and made sure they stayed in the spotlight.

They told us: “If they work hard they can make hundreds of thousands of pounds – regardless of whether they win or not.
“But once they come out it’s dog eat dog and they have to make sure they stand out. It’s a full time job to become famous and they’ve got a hard road ahead if they really want to be a big name and make decent money.
“A personal appearance in a nightclub can bring in £2,000 or, if you get a deal with a fashion brand, you could earn £10,000 up front and £5,000 to £10,000 every month thereafter depending on sales.”
And discussing the potential for couples like Jess and Dom, they said: “Couples have to be clever and do everything to make their relationship known.
“Magazines are always keen on signing up the couples then, if they prove popular, they could go on to sort deals out for the first wedding and baby pictures which could earn them thousands.
“Couples have to sort out photo opportunities as quickly as they can, these can get them big money. They need to make sure they are always being pictured.”
