One of the Love Island All Stars gang is already back at their day job after the series finale on Monday.
The class of 2024 have spent weeks under the South African sun, including Toby Aromolaran, who came fourth with Georgia Steele, 25. The couple looked happy in each company's during the live show, but having missed out on the £50,000 prize money, which went to winners Molly Smith and Tom Clare, the footballer, 24, announced he had returned to his beloved Hashtag United.
Taking to Instagram with a snap of himself in his football kit, with a scarf covering his mouth, admitting the weather was freezing, he wrote: "Back to reality", with a sun followed by an ice cube emoji. The reality star has played for the club on and off since 2020 and shared a video from the locker room on Thursday, admitting his team mates were already teasing him about his "fortune favours the brave" term. Toby used the saying when he decided to steal Georgia from Callum Jones in a re-coupling on Love Island.
While Toby has been back on the pitch in Essex, Georgia has headed home to York after the footballer briefly met her mum at the airport. During their exit interview the pair had said they were ‘locked in’, but Toby admitted that he wanted to wait until he met Georgia's parents and visa-versa before asking her to be his girlfriend.
However, his comment raised eyebrows with fans, who questioned why he felt the need to wait. Even in the villa Georgia was a little bit bamboozled, telling Georgia H: "I've never been exclusive with anyone, you're either together or you're not. And he [Toby] went, 'yeah we're obviously together, but I'd say we're locked off'. I prefer that abbreviation for sure but I still don't understand what locked off is."
Toby and Georgia didn't have the easiest ride on All Stars. They initially hit it off on Love Island Games, but their spark fizzled out. They then rekindled their romance in South Africa, but Toby backed off and said he wanted to explore other connections. Georgia was understandably gutted, but ended up forming a connection with Callum as well as eventual winner Tom Clare briefly, before Toby had a change of heart and won her back. However, he had to deal with a few side-eyes during the final as the former contestants from the season returned to the villa.
Fans of the show will recall that 32-year-old Arabella Chi had been paired with Toby almost two weeks into the contest - only for him to ditch her a week later and pair with Georgia. The shock move left Arabella devastated as she wailed “It’s always me”. Watching the final from the sidelines in the villa, the camera cut to the blonde bombshell - as fans clocked she looked "absolutely seething".
