The series finale of winter Love Island 2023 aired just two weeks ago, but some of the contestants are already back working at their day jobs.

In the lead-up to the finale, Casey and Rosie were eliminated after the third part of their love triangle, Claudia, was kicked out of the South African villa in a brutal four-person dumping, which Olivia Hawkins had a hand in.
