The former careers adviser and 24-year-old model were the first couple to get it on.

Speaking on ITV’s This Morning, the 27-year-old admitted to hosts Holly Willougby and Phillip Schofield: “For me, it was my career done.”

The star, from Manchester, added: “I worked with children so I couldn’t go back to doing that.” Dominic, who was accompanied by Jessica and former co-stars Jonny Mitchell, 27, and Danielle Sellers, 23, said he did not mind the impact on his day job as he and Jessica found true love on the ITV2 series.
