Love Island's Billy Brown is latest Islander to return to normal job after villa stint

Love Island star Billy Brown has teased that he's returned to the job he had before taking part in the ITV2 show this summer, with him following in the footsteps of other former Islanders.

The former Islander, 23, had been among the participants on the latest series of the ITV show and was involved in some drama whilst he on the show.

Since being dumped from the villa, Billy has collaborated with brands including fashion retailer boohooMAN and has appeared on other TV programmes including This Morning.

Despite such interest, he has now teased that he still has time for his 'normal job' – with him having been the director of a roofing company before doing Love Island.

He took to Instagram yesterday to show off his manual skills and was seen hammering at a brick wall in footage which was shared on the platform, as reported by OK!.

The video – shared with his 131,000 followers – saw him dressed in a black T-shirt, hardwearing trousers and a pair of boots as he assisted on site at a property.

Billy isn't the only former Islander to have gone back to their day job since leaving the villa, with a few of his co-stars from the latest series having done similarly recently.

This includes Coco Lodge, 27, who announced during an interview on the show Reality with Will Njobvu in July that she would be returning to selling drinks in student clubs.

It was something she did before Love Island and Coco said she was "excited" to temporarily go back to it. She has since returned to another job that she had prior to the ITV2 show.

Coco revealed last month that alongside some "amazing opportunities" she has decided to continue running her graphic design company.

Another Islander from the latest series of the show who has gone back to their career is Jamie Allen, 27, who had been a footballer at FC Halifax Town prior to joining Love Island.

And although it was announced that he had left the club following his stint in the villa, it has now been revealed that he will still be continuing to play football professionally.

It was confirmed in posts on social media earlier this week that Jamie has signed with AFC Telford United as a forward for the upcoming season.
