The Welsh engineer was the unfortunately the first contestant to get the boot on season five of the ITV dating show after he failed to secure a partner during a recoupling. Callum quit his high-flying job as an aircraft engineer for his place on the popular ITV2 reality show.

In an interview he told The Sun: “I had to hand my notice in. I’ve got my trade and my apprenticeship so I would apply elsewhere. It was a really hard decision but you only get one life."
