Greg O’Shea: ‘I didn’t want to retire, but €18,000 a year is not sustainable’

'I could have made loads of money off the back of Love Island, but I had to come home and start training'

When Greg O’Shea won Love Island in 2019, the Limerick man had a tough decision to make. He could give up his rugby career in order to make the most out of his new-found fame and the opportunities that were sure to come his way as a result, or he could return to Ireland to pursue his dream of competing in the Olympics.

To the disappointment of many (his Love Island beau Amber Gill surely top of that list), he chose to come home. That decision paid off when he represented Ireland in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics playing with the Rugby Sevens.
