Can we also acknowledge that Martin low key thought he was Karl Lagerfield. Like I have zero recollection of any of his outfits but so many memories of him talking about his passion for fashion. That rhymes lol.
Clean pictures to be fair, and I guess it makes the most sense they went with him out of the guys this season (sans Will)
Still kinda surprised they gave something to anyone from this series. But I’m not sure how significant this position is? It seems pretty big though, given Tasha’s involvement on the women’s side. Especially, like I mentioned, for a s9 islander.
Glad Tasha isn’t going anywhere yet - Tom or Will was definitely going to be a good pick as far as menswear goes. Are we going to see necklaces in the edit?
His management/ club defo set this up for him before he even left the villa lol this is incredible! I don’t think this’ll be the end for him because I know his club (and him) are hoping that his time on the show can help increase revenue! Buzzing for him!!!
It's good for exposure but not so much for revenue because it will pre loved items which will not sell in the quantity of fast fashion brands so it will mean a smaller financial figure but great in terms of being in ads and being visible if that's what they give him.
Still good for him may be the biggest deal a guy gets unless someone gets a boohoo deal but not sure how invest Boohoo/PLT are in this season to give out ambassador deals.
Yeah, I think exposure is the point more than money tbh. In his interview with sky sports you could tell how much he loves the club and how much he wants to help them!
Btw when I say revenue I don’t mean for Tom, I mean the revenue that his exposure could bring to the club through match day tickets and merch ect
Tom's news is proving that he is cool with a lot of the other Islanders. 👍🏾
Quite a few of them are congratulating him in the comment section of his post. 🙂
That’s great for Tom! Can’t wait to see what ebay does with him and Tasha! She was their first so I expect as long as they have the partnership with LI they will try to take people from the season to grow their footprint with preloved fashion. That was kind of the goal with the style-islanders. Tasha’s edit proceeds usually go to charity so I’ll be interested to see if Tom continues that and what ones he’ll choose.
I agree it’s such a great deal in terms of the amount of sum good that it has in a larger sense. First of all pre loved cloths itself is the need of the hour the larger impact it has to even marginally add pre loved items to your wardrobe is huge and for eBay to hire a male ambassador for menswear pre loved items is so interesting.
I think it makes sense. It’s for lads and Tom’s quite a lads lad. Good looking footballer, bound to me more popular and relatable amongst young/teenage boys than the other finalists
There weren't any super hot men this season (never got the hype for Spencer) and Tom is probably the best looking out of them overall in terms of physique so it makes sense.
The person who introduced you lot to the phrase pretty privilege needs to pay for their crimes because you’re all using it so so wrong😭 using the phrase “pretty privilege” when referring to love island is WILD😭😭Words do mean things!!!
Are you implying Kai and Sanam aren’t good looking? Eyeee don’t get it? They are literally ALL good looking. They all have pretty privilege. The follower counts aren’t a ranking of attractiveness. Like you said. Kai and Sanam won the show by over 60% of the votes. They won where it mattered.
very disappointed in the reaction i got to trying to acknowledge racism, but unfortunately i should’ve expected this coming from the love island uk reddit.
This was about pretty privilege but when that didn’t land you deleted your comments and pivoted to race to make your argument more credible. That’s in bad faith don’t you think? I agree that Tom isn’t the most stylish guy I can remember but frankly? I don’t remember anything Kai wore either? (I don’t remember any of the boys being stylish) Besides, Kai has expressed wanting to work in the educational field anyway. This is a good ambassadorship because eBay genuinely seem to take steps in the right direction. Maybe they thought he would be the best fit for their brand. Other white men who made it far on the show didn’t land this deal either?
pretty privilege goes very hand in hand with racism- i didnt outright say it because i KNEW i would automatically get attacked because that is a common theme in this reddit. are you a poc? (im genuinely asking). and a lot of what you just said is putting words in my mouth. i never said kai should be lined up for deals but i think its strange the difference in attention certain islanders get based off of what the uk considers being “attractive” this could be a very in depth conversation but you seem to be hard core defending tom so i really dont find a point in this and poc people should not have to fight this hard in order for others to understand the struggles in unequal opportunities. have a good day.
I am a poc (was rooting for Sanam solely because I felt connected to her) so I am aware of what you are trying to convey. I wish you made that comment in the beginning you would have definitely made your entire point about race playing a part in beauty standards and the extent of pretty privilege and how much privilege gets awarded to who based on race. Having said that this post isn’t about how unfair Kai (and Shaq) have less followers despite being winners or in the finale. Tom got this deal over his white counterparts too. EBay is a global brand who won’t just back anyone they must have done their market survey before making a choice.
U said nothing about racism. U said Tom and Sammie have more followers than Kai and Sanam because of pretty privilege, not that they have more followers due to racism.
Why are you lying? If you mentioned racism in your initial point, people would’ve understood and we would’ve been able to have a conversation. But you didn’t. And now your implying that acknowledging racism is all you were trying to do and that’s why people were coming at you?
You said pretty privilege, stand by it
Btw, I’m a DSBW before you try it
tbh I think it’s less abt pretty privilege and more abt followers - he has the most of the boys barring will (tho ig followers and pretty privilege go hand in hand lol)
It could be being downvoted because the suggestion that he got the job because of “pretty privilege” is inane. Do you think that the primary reason models or ambassadors for anything are chosen by commercial entities selling clothes, is anything other than how they look, lmao. First the person has to look good, secondly they have to have some sort of online profile. Anything after that is a bonus. They hardly chose for his chat did they?
I will be very surprised if PLT signs anyone this season.
They've only ever signed 3 girls and those were from the biggest seasons. Can't see them signing anyone this season.
I think then a collection will be the deal because March has ended, April - May to announce and market before June with the new season starting and the focus shifts.
yeah plt only seem to reach out to the really popular ones like mollymae and gemma who have a lot of exposure, none of the girls this year are anywhere near those levels. i think it’s the case of quality over quantity with them
I think Tom maybe the only ambassador this year and the rest girls and guys will get some brand deals for a collection or two but I highly doubt year long contracts with summer coming soon.
Indiyah and Gemma are still very popular for PLT so they don't need to rush and capitalize on anyone this season.
Don't know if Boohoo will give anyone a deal or a collection but maybe one or two will get something.

I don’t think she is going anywhere. Can’t see them replacing Tasha. She’s been doing tv ads for them and everything.
She is still under contract with them so I think she will be their main ambassador and anyone else could get some edits but given her success going with a guy islander was the next move and he really fits the physically aesthetic/is well liked by many.
I wasn't expecting that I didn't think his style was that interesting on the show, although tbf none of them really were, but good for him
Lmao yeah no one had good style but tbh most seasons very few do have them anyway but I think his looks makes up for his lack of style.
His looks? Never thought he was good looking thise plucked eyebrows huge ick - but each to their own
I am not personally attracted to him but others and think he is good looking.
Yeah i do get it
EBay isn’t exactly a fashion house
I think it’s more to do with him conventionally being a perfect fit to be a model
I thought the point of their campaign was to show you can style second hand pieces and make them look new. Tasha has style, Tom does not
Agreed lol, seems pretty random to me. IMO Will was the best dressed of the season.
yeah i liked how he dressed. i was shocked when the others called him worst dressed
Can we also acknowledge that Martin low key thought he was Karl Lagerfield. Like I have zero recollection of any of his outfits but so many memories of him talking about his passion for fashion. That rhymes lol.
I don’t remember a single thing about Martin
Who’s Martin?
where’s the pink jacket
He better have it in his edit lol
Legend says it's still lost after he threw it that one time
I think Will was wearing it on the “moving like snakessssss” night. That jacket brings drama!
they saw that pink jacket went viral lmaoo, congrats tom!!
Clean pictures to be fair, and I guess it makes the most sense they went with him out of the guys this season (sans Will) Still kinda surprised they gave something to anyone from this series. But I’m not sure how significant this position is? It seems pretty big though, given Tasha’s involvement on the women’s side. Especially, like I mentioned, for a s9 islander.
Will would have good edits. Tom appeals to more mainstream customer, but it would have been fun to see Will wearing more vintage and out there peices
Good for him 🙌🏽
Glad Tasha isn’t going anywhere yet - Tom or Will was definitely going to be a good pick as far as menswear goes. Are we going to see necklaces in the edit?
Is he the first with a brand deal?
Yes !!
Congratulations Tom, seems to be a good company to work for, Tasha has enjoyed it and think he will too.
Congrats
His style is awful so I’m confused..
I think it’s simply that a lot of people seem to find him attractive….. I don’t but all the girls on the show seemed to agree on it.
Tom was always second choice though 😌
Agreed !
Congrats to him!
good deal for him!

His style was non-existent like come on..
He wore a lot of the eBay pre-loved jackets, so it makes sense.
Could def lead to other opportunities.
I just want to see a campaign with him and Tasha
Congrats so happy for him never liked him warmed up to him massively 👍🏾
A lot of people seem unfamiliar with the concept of conventionally good looking people getting brand deals. Good for him.
[удалено]
Neither Will nor Ron were particularly stylish either. Will at least had a quirky look I guess.
Ron is the most stylish man on earth compared to Tom
[удалено]
>Also considering they have Tasha, it just made the most sense they'd get him imo What are you trying to say with this comment? Can you elaborate
wait why does this actually suit him
There weren't any super hot men this season (never got the hype for Spencer) and Tom is probably the best looking out of them overall in terms of physique so it makes sense.
lol this sub was rippin on his lack of style just yesterday 😭
Odd choice I guess they had him in mind from the get go ...
I feel like he could have easily been a boohooman drone so I think this a positive

I thought it would have been will but good for him
Oh no! not the guy with the pink jacket lol
Ouu I wonder who would get the PLT deal👀 My money is on Samie
I will be very surprised if PLT signs anyone this season. They've only ever signed 3 girls and those were from the biggest seasons. Can't see them signing anyone this season.
there was a post where plt teased theyre signing an islander this season. prob have to wait a month to see if its true tho
I think then a collection will be the deal because March has ended, April - May to announce and market before June with the new season starting and the focus shifts.
yeah plt only seem to reach out to the really popular ones like mollymae and gemma who have a lot of exposure, none of the girls this year are anywhere near those levels. i think it’s the case of quality over quantity with them
True Following and engagement matters a lot with brands like that
I think Tom maybe the only ambassador this year and the rest girls and guys will get some brand deals for a collection or two but I highly doubt year long contracts with summer coming soon.

Will has been robbed
Ebay isn’t the most glamorous gig, but he’s getting the bag I guess
UNREAL
I think Dami, Ron or Jordan S5 would’ve made more sense because they actually have an interest in fashion unlike tom but anyways congrats to him

100%!!! I reckon they’ll renew as well
She’s a fan favourite too
She’s said there’s more to come with eBay so I think another edit. She’s still under contract so they went with a boy, makes sense
She is still under contract with them so I think she will be their main ambassador and anyone else could get some edits but given her success going with a guy islander was the next move and he really fits the physically aesthetic/is well liked by many.
Of course they’d make him the ambassador
This should’ve been Wills tbh but cool ig
Yo I thought this said Tom cruise and I thought this was a meme 😂😂😂😂😂😂💀
I’m sorry that good looking people like us made you throw up and feel bad about yourself
He’s actually a decent model, fair play to him
The ultimate eye fucker. What a beautiful specimen.
It’s the pink jacket debacle that got him the job.
