Love Island bombshell Coco Lodge returns to old job selling shots as she 'needs money'

Dumped Love Island Bombshell Coco Lodge has revealed she is returning to be a shot girl after her stint in the villa, where she failed to find romance despite her Andrew Le Page flirtation. The 27-year-old reality star told a podcast that she "needs to make money" after her departure from the ITV2 show along with fellow Casa Amor bombshell Josh Samuel Le Grove, 22, on Friday, 15 July.

Appearing on YouTube podcast Reality with Will Njobvu, Surrey girl Coco told listeners "I'm living my best life," before adding that should would be returning to "shot girling," reported OK! Magazine.

Coco told presenter Will Njobvu: "I'm actually going to go back to shot girling next week." Will joked about the possibility of getting some free shots from her but she quickly shot him down, replying: "Not for free. I need to make money."

"I'm actually excited. I think it's gonna be fun," with the former Bombshell expecting some cheeky customers to reference her time in the villa coupled up with Andrew.

Coco added that she doesn't plan on being a shot girl long-term, saying she will do it "just until [she] knows what's happening with opportunities" after the show, as due to Love Island still being on air there aren't any opportunities to make money. She added: "I'm not just gonna live on my savings, no. So I'm gonna go back [to shot girling]."

The interview teaser saw Will mention a "stigma" around former islanders returning to their previous jobs, to which Coco said: "I don't care. I'll literally sell so many [shots] now."

The latest episode of Reality with Will Njobvu - featuring Coco - will be available on YouTube this Friday (July 22).
