Love Island star returns to ‘normal job’ stacking shelves at work just weeks after leaving ITV villa

LOVE island star Sean Stone has returned to his day job just weeks after leaving the hit ITV dating show.

The 24-year-old was dubbed The Candyman by fans and his fellow islanders due to his work as a sweet salesman running his own online business.

The reality star started his business during lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic where his TikTok livesterams selling candy went viral.

Sean has taken to Instagram to share a clip of him making a triumphant return to his company Sweet Delivery.

In the video Sean can be seen stacking shelves, making TikTok videos and interacting with his staff.

The Love Islander captioned the post: “The Candyman is Home - @sweetdelivery”

Before he entered the villa accounts showed he had less than £5,000 in the firm last year.

Sean may have been to hopeful to boost his company's profits as well as finding love on the show.

It seems this may have worked as fans flocked to the comments to congratulate the sweet salesman on his return as they look to place their orders.

One fan commented: “I’ll defo put in an order soon. I can see your a lovely genuine guy as Matilda appears too, just normal down to earth that’s why I think you both hit it off! I wish you both all the luck in the world! Look forward to getting sweets once I order xx”

“You smashed it on Love Island but the candy man is back,” said another.

A third added: “I ordered last week best sweets by far! Can’t wait to order another.”

“Welcome home the candy man can’t wait to see Matilda on the lives,” commented a fourth.

Sean's Love Island journey got off to a rocky start when he couldn’t find a connection with any of the girls in the Villa.

Things changed when brunette bombshell Matilda, 24, entered and swept The Candyman off his feet the pair finishing third with couple making it official.

But now on the outside there could be trouble in paradise and this week Matilda was spotted jetting off to Ibiza without boyfriend Sean.

Her trip away came after Love Island fans thought they had spotted a clue that Matilda and Sean were already on the brink of a break-up.

Soon after the final, a group of Islanders hit the town for a night out.

Sean did attend the outing with Matilda, although followers on social media couldn't help notice they were "distant" in stories and snaps.

They even spotted that Matilda went to bed with fellow islander Harriett Blackmore at the end of the night, rather than with Sean.

One fan pointed out online: "Is it just me or did you guys think that Sean and Matilda seem quite distant yesterday?

"From the islanders stories and snaps it was definitely something weird there and she went to sleep with Harriett after."

Another replied: "I clocked that from the stories too."
