Harry Cooksley, the Love Island star, has admitted that he has been forced to return to his day job after failing to land TV roles since leaving the villa.
It is perhaps expected that Love Island TV stars will undoubtedly secure themselves huge endorsement deals and TV jobs once leaving the villa. And Harry Cooksley may have been of the same belief but reality appears to have put a mirror up to his face as the former TV star has claimed that he is still “unemployed.”
Before joining the ITV2 show, the 30-year-old TV hopeful had previously played for Farnham Town FC. Since he realized he was no longer going to be snapped up by TV executives, he has since returned to his former team.
However, the same can not be said for his girlfriend Shakira Khan who has now landed a role on Gary Lineker’s new ITV challenge show, The Box.
He took to Twitter to express his agony to the fans, saying, “It’s that time… the return to football.” Because it seems like I’m still unemployed and need to return to my day job.
This is the first time Harry has played football in five months, according to the reality TV star. Making fun of his situation, he added: ” I might have come second on Love Island but I am a winner.”
Meanwhile, it has been reported that his girlfriend has soared since leaving the villa and has since found a job on The Box.
Following rumors that ITV executives were hoping to capitalize on the growing demand for Love Island stars on its prime time TV programs, this comes as a result.
However, adding Shakira to the roster is a wise decision because she is still popular with younger viewers and is stoking the villa’s reputation. She’ll be friends with famous people, but executives are confident that she’ll stand out.
The Box, a new format and Gary’s first for ITV, is where everyone’s eyes are, according to the source. However, choosing Shakira is a wise choice because she is still popular with younger viewers and is wildly successful outside the villa.
Before joining the show, Shakira had previously worked in marketing. And she claimed to have been dating someone but had not yet found a husband.
She continued, “I haven’t found the husband in my busy love life.” I’m searching for “the one.” The ring is where I’m looking.
Despite their opposing careers, it appears that the pair are determined to make it work outside.
When a fan asked if Harry was a real person on TikTok, Harry responded politely with a “correct.”
The publication was then informed that “of course it’s new for both of us. Both of us are new to this, and I’m so happy to be collaborating with her.
The reality TV star’s relationship with the young TV star had for the first time been confirmed.
