A Love Island star has quit the UK and the world of showbiz for a high-flying recruitment job in Dubai. 

Despite appearing on the Season 6 winter series of the show, Jamie Clayton, now 30, was unlucky in love in the villa. 

He entered the villa on day 31 of the show and was dumped from the island on day 38 after taking Shaughna Phillips and Demi Jones on dates - and eventually coupling up with Natalia Zoppa. 

The Edinburgh hunk was a recruitment consultant before entering the villa in 2020. 

But Jamie is now leaving the UK for a new adventure in the sunny UAE with his business partner Calum White. 

The entrepreneurs are starting their own recruitment firm called White & Clayton recruitment. 

They wrote on Instagram: 'White & Clayton Recruitment has officially opened its doors! Specialising in recruiting positions from Graduate to Executive level within FMCG across the globe.

'The journey begins, watch this space!'

After leaving the villa, Jamie was rumoured to be dating Eve Gale, who was the first to leave that season. 

Although they were both on the same season, the pair didn't actually meet on the show due to entering and leaving the villa at different times. 

They sparked romance rumours after they enjoyed a dinner in Manchester - but representatives for Eve afterwards confirmed they were just friends. 

Following his time on the show, Jamie warned future contestants to only take part if they can 'handle' it, revealing the cut-throat nature of brand deals by saying 'there is no such thing as a free meal'.  

In August 2022, Jamie was spotted on a double date with his new girlfriend - and Love Island co-stars Molly Smith and Callum Jones.
