I was in Love Island with four of the All Stars cast – but I’ve quit reality TV to go back to a normal job

HE appeared on Love Island three years ago in a bid to find romance.

But while some of Matthew MacNabb’s fellow islanders have just re-entered the villa for another stab of love, he’s left reality dating shows well in the past.

These days the Irish star, 29, is very loved up with pro dancer Laura Nolan who he met on Dancing with the Stars - and he’s just about to launch a brand new app.

Matthew, who was a marketing consultant before the show, reveals he plans to help as many people as he can with his new idea.

He tells us: “I do business stuff. I've been developing a mental health software platform for past year and a half.

“So it's launching actually, later this month, which is great.

“It's called LifeSet. It's basically an all one lifestyle and well-being platform to help people with their mental and physical health and stuff.

“So really excited without, it’s my passion to help people. And also I love entrepreneurship and stuff.

“I kind of am back to what I did originally, because I I loved anything to do with creating businesses, start-ups, all that stuff, but it's just in a different way now.”

Matthew was coupled up with Kaz Kamwi on the show, and appeared alongside Liberty Poole, Jake Cornish and Toby Aromolaran, who are all currently filming in South Africa.

Discussing what it’s like watching them, he says: “It's actually nice.  In a way, it's kind of like reliving it, because I feel like I'm doing it with them.

“It would be cool to see the friends that I made in that show actually develop, and meet people that they really like and see how is.

"That's why I think this shows pretty interesting, because you can actually see what they're like now, and how different they are.”

And he’s rooting for Kaz to find love, telling us: “She's such a nice girl and I'm glad she's back on it.

"She’s so kinda, she's a great, great person , so I think she'll show herself as a really nice person and will hopefully meet somebody that she  gets on really well with. It'd be nice to see that.”
