Discussing her aspirations at the ITV Reality event, Toni revealed: "The love has been insane. I never expected it in a million years honestly.", reports the Daily Star.

"I think for me this is all new. It's a whole new world so I'm still trying to find my feet.

"There's a lot of opportunities at hand but I think presenting is my thing.

"All the love is so incredible so shout out to the UK."

Following their Love Island 2025 triumph, Toni and Cach secured the £50,000 prize money, which was divided equally between the pair.

They have subsequently disclosed precisely how they intend to spend their winnings and the disclosure is guaranteed to earn them additional admirers.

Toni revealed: "I need to pay off my student loans. I want to invest it. I don't want to go on some crazy shopping spree. Maybe some bingo, I do live in Vegas after all!".

Cach commented: "Cost of living crisis, I'll save it!".

A single PR specialist has forecast that Toni could rapidly emerge as the highest-earning celebrity from the summer series. Chatting with the Daily Star, Rich Wilson suggested that the American star could rake in millions through brand collaborations and television gigs.

He stated: "It's very easy to see her as a new regular on our TV screens, and Toni could earn millions through brand partnerships, TV hosting and social partnerships."
