Love Island winner Amber reveals she'll go back to work at salon despite fame

Amber Gill won over the nation in the Love Island villa and took home half of the £50,000 prize when she was crowned the winner alongside Greg O'Shea.

But despite her new found fame and riches, the 21-year-old has revealed she'll return to the salon where she works as a beautician.

The ambitious beauty is hoping to open up more branches with her aunt who owns the buisness.

She told Closer magazine: "I'll definitely keep working with my auntie. We'll still have the salon, and I'll build from that - the goal would be opening a few more salons together.

"That was the idea before Love Island, so hopefully we'll see what we can do."

Despite having tens of thousands in the bank, Amber isn't planning to splurge on anything extravagant.

She added: "I'm going to be sensible with the money.

"I'll probably treat myself a little bit, but I'm going to invest and be careful with it."

One work opportunity Amber might miss out on is a Love Island winners' spin-off as the idea has reportedly been scrapped this year.

Sources claim bosses are holding back because they aren't sold that the villa king and queen will last much longer.

They told The Sun : "It's been a publicity disaster in previous years, when couples split before their show aired or appeared to get back together just as the programmes came out.

"Jack and Dani’s series was a perfect example last year, with everyone saying their relationship was fake.

"This year bosses want to take the heat off the contestants’ relationships, especially as it’s been such a choppy year for couples making a go of it.

"Instead they are focusing on Winter Love Island and want to nail the casting for that series."
