With an endless supply of Love Island 2024 couples returning to the UK and jumping straight into press interviews and podcasts, and of course, the news that Molly Mae Hague and Tommy Fury have split dominating headlines and socials, it's all too easy to forget about the bombshells who failed to find love – or a decent storyline – this season.
As such, many have returned to their regular jobs, or in the case of one bombshell, launched an entirely new career (and no, it's not influencing).
No shade, but they can't all be Mimii Ngulube and Joey Essex, can they?
That's not to say said bombshells didn't make every effort to stand out from the crowd and don't deserve a moment in the spotlight. Take bombshell Tiffany Leighton, for example. She entered the villa on day 12 alongside fellow bombshell icons Wil Anderson and Grace Jackson and made a bee-line for Ronnie Vint, who was with Harriett Blackmore at the time. Naturally, Ronnie (being Ronnie) had his head turned by Tiffany, but ended up being pied by the bombshell when she realised they lacked sexual chemistry. Sadly, this left her single and eventually dumped.
And we have to say, that's one reason we heart Tiffany - let's be real, the Love Island queen could've easily stayed with Ronnie (despite how she felt about him) and stayed in the game for a lot longer than she did. She didn't do this, instead staying true to herself and her feelings. Independent queen behaviour.
Upon leaving the villa, Tiffany told producers, "My journey with Ronnie was fun, we had such a laugh and got on really well because we had a lot in common. It was difficult being in a triangle with Harriett at the start, but ultimately something was missing so I had to be honest with him and be true to myself and my feelings."
And while she's very much riding those new influencer waves in the wake of Love Island fame, it appears that Tiffany is keen to once again do things her way by getting an, erm, sweaty new everyday job.
Tiffany took to her Instagram grid to announce that she was embarking on a new career as a personal trainer following her Love Island stint. Sharing a snap of herself lifting weights in the gym, she wrote, "SO buzzing to share that I am officially on my journey to becoming a certified personal trainer with @thefitnessgrp 🏋🏼♀️ Fitness has always been a passion of mine and I can’t wait to turn it into a way to help others meet their goals ❤️ Stay tuned, exciting things coming 💪."
Congrats, Tiff 🩷
