Six Love Island stars who quit fame for normal jobs after the show

APPEARING on Love Island means that you are catapulted into the world of showbiz with thousands of new followers.

While many of the Islanders love their new found fame, there are a handful who have returned to their previous jobs before the villa.

Let’s take a look…

Dr Alex George

Dr Alex appeared on Love Island back in 2018.

He failed to find love on the show, after coupling up with Samira Mighty, Ellie Brown and Alexandra Cane.

Before the ITV2 show he was an A&E doctor and after Love Island he continued to work at Lewisham Hospital.

The star worked on the frontline during the Covid pandemic between 2020 and 2021.

Since his stint on the programme, Alex has done plenty of work for mental health charities, after his brother Llyr committed suicide when he was 19.

Alex is also the UK Youth Mental Health Ambassador within the Department for Education.

He’s also appeared on TV shows such as Good Morning Britain and Lorraine to talk about the important topics.

Georgia was a bombshell during the ninths series of Love Island in 2021.

The beauty only lasted a day in the villa and failed to win of the heart of Hugo Hammond.

Before the villa, Georgia worked as a marketing executive at supermarket Lidl – and she returned shortly after.

She currently works as a marketing manager at M&S.

Anna appeared in Love Island 2019 alongside the likes of Maura Higgins, Molly Mae Hague and Lucie Donlan.

She originally coupled up with Sherif Lanre, but later found a connection with Jordan Hames.

However she was dumped days before the final.

Anna has a huge following on social media and loves to share sizzling snaps on her Instagram.

But during the pandemic, she returned to the pharmacy as a pharmacist.

Anna confessed: “First day back working as a Pharmacist since leaving Love Island. It’s been almost a whole year! Wow can’t believe how fast it’s gone.

“Wasn’t really planning on registering yet but with everything that’s going on it felt wrong not to.

“We can all fight this together. Stay safe. Stay home. Save lives.”

Malin Anderson

Malin shot to fame in 2016 while on Love Island.

She coupled up with Rykard Jenkins and then Terry Walsh – who moved on very quickly from her when she was dumped from the show.

Before the programme Malin worked as a elderly and palliative carer – and just like Alex and Anna – she returned to her old job during the years of the pandemic.

She confessed: “I can’t sit at home on my own anymore knowing I have training within the sector.”

Rachel Fenton

Rykard fell head over heels for the beauty and when she was dumped on day 15, he decided to go with her.

The pair didn’t last long…

Similar to the other Islanders working in the health service, she returned to the clinic as a orthopaedic clinical nurse during Covid.
