An insider said: 'It's a huge blow for the islanders this year, but PLT just aren't interested.
'They have had a huge rebrand recently and while there's no doubt they have made millions off the likes of Molly-Mae in the past, they will be doing things differently."
Molly famously ended up as creative director for PLT after impressing bosses so much.
Gemma Owen also signed a hefty deal with them off the back of her series and Ella Thomas, Grace Jackson and Uma Jammeh all worked with them too.
Throughout this series, which was won by Toni and Cach, viewers made numerous references to the girls trying to land a deal - in particular Meg and Helena.
But their fallout with Shakira and her gang, made people question what deals they would get.
One person remarked: 'I wonder if Irish Meg will keep distance from the mean girls now she has seen what the public think of them. That PLT deal won't sign itself sis.'
Another said: 'Meg just watched her PLT deal blow up in front of her. Dejon you bad boy.'
While a third added: 'Helena is OBSESSED with Shakira omfg, somebody tell Helena she ain't getting that PLT deal from Shakira no matter how hard she tries I beg'.
Molly-Mae had long had an affiliation with the brand having secured a big-money deal with the Manchester based retailer following her exit from Love Island.

However, she shocked fans when she announced that she would be stepping down from her reported £5million-a-year role as Creative Director in order to focus on motherhood.
In June 2023, Molly confirmed that she had quit her mega-money fashion job. She was paid a reported £400,000 per month.
In March of this year returning CEO Umar Kamani threw his 'A Legacy in Progress' Party at the Caviar Kaspia in Paris.
A string of A-list stars attended, including supermodel Naomi Campbell, actress and model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, actor Ed Westwick, boxing champion Anthony Joshua, socialite Cindy Bruna, and fashion influencer Leonie Hanne all graced the event.
A Legacy in Progress marked a pivotal moment in PrettyLittleThing's ongoing transformation.
He said at the time: 'People talk about the old PLT. This PLT is going to be far better.'

LOVE ISLAND VOTING PERCENTAGES
TONI and Cach won the Love Island 2025 final - yet what were the exact voting percentages?
Las Vegas waitress Toni Laites and professional dancer Cach Mercer went head-to-head with OG islanders Shakira Khan and Harry Cooksley in a nail-biting finale.
However, Toni and Cach were triumphant and won the summer series after surviving a love triangle just two weeks before the final.
A results table shared on Love Island's Instagram account this afternoon showed Toni and Cach were the runaway winners on the night, taking over a third of the votes, with 33.5% of viewers backing them for the crown.
However, Shakira and Harry drew a sizeable 26.2% of the votes, and Yas and Jamie were not far behind taking 22% on the nose.
Aesthetics practitioner Angel, 26, only made her debut on July 17, but managed to secure an impressive 18.3% of the overall voting audience with Casa Amor boy Ty.

Blimey! I may have had the same Stuff done as Karren Brady
K arren Brady — Alan Sugar's aide on The Apprentice and vice-chairman of West Ham United — has caused a stir this week with a dramatic makeover. According to the aesthetic surgeon Dr Paris Acharya, it is likely to have cost about £25,000 worth of tinkering to look this damn good. Acharya analysed Brady's face and speculated on what she's had done — and guess what? It's all the stuff I've been getting done too! Acharya believes Brady has been 'stacking' tweakments in what she calls 'a strategic blend of technologies, injectables and longevity protocols layered together'. She referenced regenerative lasers (I have regenerative lasers!), Botox and polynucleotides (me too!) and skin-tightening treatments such as Exion (guess what!). I've been having this sort of stuff for almost a decade, which is why I'd call what I've had a 'kept it up', as opposed to Brady's transformative glow-up. I recently finished my latest course of stacking — first with (light) Botox (which my doctor only gives me every six or so months, allowing it to wear off and ensuring I never go OTT) and polynucleotides (cell-invigorating bio-hacking injectables, which make my skin look fresh).

Zoe Kravitz wows in barely there lace slip dress as she joins co-star Austin Butler at Caught Stealing Paris premiere - as they continue to spark romance rumours
Zoe Kravitz was a vision in a barely-there slip dress as she joined her co-star Austin Butler at the Caught Stealing premiere in Paris on Thursday. The daughter of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet, 36, and the American hunk, 34, were snapped gazing into one another's eyes after continuing to spark romance rumours recently. The Kimi actress looked ethereal showing off her toned legs in a cream laced mini dress teamed with just a pair of elegant open-toe stilettos. Elsewhere the Dune favourite cut a dapper figure in a brown shirt and smart leather trousers for the lavish occasion. The pair - who play each other's love interest in the film - were captured posing next to director Darren Aronofsky. Later on in the evening, both Zoe and Austin were seen arriving at the luxurious restaurant Dragon in the French capital. The High Infidelity sensation looked stunning in the lace number which she teamed with a billowing black jacket. The two actors previously sparked romance rumours following their respective splits, however a source poured cold water on the claims when speaking to TMZ. Back in April, a source revealed that the co-stars 'had been spending time together over the past few weeks and were 'getting on very well.' They told the Sun: 'Their chemistry is as good off-screen as it is on it. Austin and Zoe have been keeping it under the radar and aren't putting a label on anything yet. They are both very respectful of their ex-partners and are just seeing how things go.' However more recently, sources claimed they definitely aren't dating after rumours hit fever pitch when they were seen at an immersive show called Viola's Room in July. Insiders told the publication that they attended the show with Caught Stealing director Darren and are 'just friends'. The stellar cast also includes Hollywood legend Liev Schreiber as well as Doctor Who legend Matt Smith, Vincent D'Onofrio, Regina King and even Puertorican hitmaker Bad Bunny will make an appearance. Back in April, a source revealed that the co-stars 'had been spending time together over the past few weeks and were 'getting on very well' The crime/comedy film, which will hit UK theatres on August 29, began filming in September of last year, six months after Austin's casting was confirmed. As per Deadline, the film 'follows Hank Thompson (Butler), a burned-out former baseball player, as he's unwittingly plunged into a wild fight for survival in the downtown criminal underworld of '90s New York City.' Caught Stealing marks Austin's latest high-profile role after starring in Dune: Part Two, which remains the highest grossing film of 2024 thus far. The Dune sequel — which also starred Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya and Florence Pugh — has raked in $700million at the worldwide since it premiered in theaters in March. The American actor earned his first-ever Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination for Best Actor last year for his portrayal of the late music icon Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann's acclaimed 2022 musical biopic. Elvis catapulted him to A-list stardom — over two decades after he found fame in the early 2000s as a child star on Nickelodeon. The actor's latest film The Bikeriders starring Tom Hardy and Jodie Comer hits theaters in June and has an 80 percent 'fresh' rating on Rotten Tomatoes. As for Zoe, the daughter of Lenny Kravitz released her directorial debut film Blink Twice in late August after years of working in front of the camera. Her acting credits include starring in HBO's mini-series Big Little Lies, Hulu's now-canceled show High Fidelity and The Batman (2022) with Robert Pattinson and Colin Farrell. Blink Twice is about tech billionaire Slater King (played by Zoe's fiance Channing Tatum) who invites cocktail waitress Frida (Naomi Ackie) on a vacation on his private island. However, she begins questioning her reality following a series of strange events. While promoting the film, Channing dished that Zoe worked on the film's script for seven years before taking it to the big screen. Blink Twice reportedly made $68million at the worldwide box office on a $20million budget.
