While an appearance on Love Island can launch you into a world of newfound fame and a huge social media following, not every contestant is interested in carving out a career in the spotlight. From Dr Alex George returning to A&E to Georgia Townend going back to her marketing job, some Islanders have turned down the Influencer/celebrity lifestyle in favour of climbing the corporate ladder. Here, former Love Island 2021 contestant Rachel Finni talks to OK! about the realities of returning to the workplace after a stint on the show, including potentially awkward job interviews, the stigma of wearing a bikini on TV and questions from curious colleagues… “After being put on furlough from my job in hospitality, I decided to do something different with my time.

A former Love Island star has revealed that Islanders can make use of the villa's "cat flap", which delivers anything a contestant may desire. Rachel Finni starred in the 2021 series of the ITV2 show and has recently opened up on some of the hidden features of the villa that viewers don't get to see. One of which is the "cat flap", which she says islanders only need to "ask, believe and receive".
With Love Island back on our screens, the drama in the villa has turned up a notch following the arrival of bombshells Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Afia Tonkmor. As the new contestants made their debut in the ITV2 show’s stunning new Majorcan villa, fellow islanders were left “rattled” by their forward approach when it came to making moves and cracking on.
Love Island contestant Brad McClelland has issued an apology to co-star Rachel Finni over a 'humiliating' video he and other stars from the dating show did on Instagram.
Love Island season seven contestants, Brad McClelland and Tyler Cruickshank have publicly apologised to their former co-star Rachel Finni after ‘humiliating’ her in a video where they laughed at a comment about her appearance. Brad, 26, and Tyler, also 26, along with Jake Cornish, 25, and Aaron Francis, 24, took part in an Instagram Live video, and they were seen seemingly laughing at 29 year old Rachel’s expense, after a member of the public commented, saying: “Rachel, yet again, not a bombshell”. The incident has seen Rachel take to her own social media to slam them as ‘nobodies’ and ‘f**ckboys’, and, amongst revealing her anguish at the situation, she also revealed that it caused her to wish she had never taken part in the popular ITV series.
