The Surprising Way Priya From Love Island Spent The Money She Got From The Show

Posting to her Instagram Stories after receiving the paycheck, Priya Gopaldas took a screenshot of the bill before donating her "Love Island" salary to NHS Charities Together via Virgin Money Giving, as noted by the Independent. The group consists of 240 NHS charities that provide mental health, ambulance, and community health services in the U.K.

A medical student herself, Gopaldas has also been working as a part-time student nurse at the University College London and has been working in the ICU to help with Covid patients. "The NHS has been really tough in the ICU with the long hours, but I find it so rewarding and it's made me really resilient," she told Radio Times.

Speaking to "Lorraine" presenter Christine Lampard after her exit from the villa, Gopaldas said she hopes to use her rise in influence to promote and support the NHS. "I've already started working on a campaign for the vaccine for 16 and 17-year-olds," she explained (via the Independent). "So I want to go down that route and continue my studies, absolutely."
