Edinburgh's Love Island star has been spotted enjoying pints in the pub after leaving the famous villa and returning to the capital.
Mal Nicol left the Love Island villa on Tuesday night in a shock dumping along with Mehdi Edno, who was ditched after results from Monday night's voting were announced.
The 25-year-old, originally from Edinburgh, works as a picture researcher in London and used to date Jay Younger who appeared in the 2022 series of the show.

The stunner shared the picture of herself on her Instagram story taken by a friend on Thursday night captioned, "Mr Bean spotted at Pear Tree, Edinburgh."
She is snapped wearing gym clothes with her long black hair in a plait holding a plastic pint glass of cider in the popular Southside beer garden.
Speaking in her exit interview, Mal touched on her romance with Sammy: "That connection with Sammy was just so innocent and pure, it was lovely. Short, obviously.
"From the moment I first met him to the last night, we had a very mature conversation. He's grown so much. The most amazing thing to see in a person is growth. I could tell by the way he was acting around me.
"From what I’d seen before, he’s so different. I think before he didn’t really think before he spoke."
Mal also backed fellow Scot Ella to take home the prize at the end of the season, saying: "Ella and Tyrique - they’re fire and fire, but it works. I love them and they have potential to win."
Previously speaking to ITV about deciding to go on the show, she said: “Since I moved to London, having the balance of seeing friends, work and gym, it’s really difficult to date at the same time. It’s quite exhausting to date in the real world.
“When you strip it back to no distractions or social situations your pure focus is on people. I'm intrigued to find a connection.”

When asked what kind of bombshell she would be on her Love Island cameo, the brunette beauty replied: “I don’t have a game plan and I have never been one to be smooth with flirting. I know I can’t flirt, I can’t dance and I can’t sing, but I can guarantee I’ll be able to laugh them into my bed.
“I’ve never been a flirtatious person but my energy is quite endearing and cute.
“I think boys think I am quite sexy but because I’m goofy, I come across as sweet and innocent.
“I know I won’t have to go for them - they’ll probably come for me.”
