Irish Love Island hunk Greg O'Shea was 'ready to marry' ex-girlfriend

Irish Love Island hunk Greg O'Shea has revealed that he was ready to marry his ex-girlfriend.

Professional rugby player Greg O’Shea, 24 will rock the villa in a bombshell entrance on Tuesday night alongside two new girls Harley Brash and India Reynolds.

And the Limerick lad also revealed that he has his eyes on Irish girl Maura.

Expressing his interest in the unlucky in love Longford model before his arrival, Greg said: “I need to get in the villa and see what the story is and who is good craic!

"I’d say me and Maura will hit it off straight away, being two Irish people and she’s hilarious.

“She’s very naturally funny and she’s gorgeous as well so you never know.”

And it has emerged that the pro rugby star was also ready to marry his previous girlfriend, but they ended up splitting around a year ago.

He said: "I saw myself marrying the last girl I was with, I was saving up for a ring but she called it a day after our lives together just didn’t work out.

"My career means I’m away travelling a lot and she was struggling with that in the relationship. It hurt a lot and it took a lot of friends and family to pick me up after that.

"Out of respect to myself, her and how great our relationship was, I didn’t date anyone for 6 months after we broke up so have only been open to getting out there again in the past few months.

"I have been on a few dates with girls I’ve met organically. I don’t believe in dating apps, I’ve never been on them."
