FRANKIE Foster has revealed his new job away from fame – six years after Samira Mighty walked off Love Island for him.
In scenes yet to be aired, Wil is dumped from the Love Island villa and Uma decides to follow her heart and end her journey too.
The scenes mirror Samira and Frankie’s short-lived love story back in 2018, before he was caught kissing another girl behind her back.
And while Samira is pursuing a career as an actress and singer, it turns out Frankie’s now a tie salesman.
Under the name Franc James, he’s been designing prints and flogging the garments online.
In a recent Instagram post, he models his products, telling fans: “Franc James is a labour of love. Delivery time is slower for the next month on orders because I am a one man band.
“After a positive response on the first three prints I am working on getting someone in to help me and get the next 3 launched as I am super happy with the product.
“Thanks to everyone who follows and has purchased.”
He also bagged himself a trackside reporting job for Racing TV’s Raceday back in 2021.
Wil and Uma came to blows after Movie Night when his behaviour in Casa Amor was exposed.
Despite Uma being reduced to tears, the quantity surveyor defended his actions after kissing bombshell Lucy Graybill and insisted he’d done nothing wrong.
Wil said: “I had my eyes on Uma from before I went in there. We got talking and instantly I knew that was who I wanted, I didn’t even want to entertain anything with anyone else.
“She’s so mature and well spoken and is a proper woman. It went so well, but then obviously Casa came.
“I felt like I owed it to myself to explore, doing that caused a few issues but it made me realise I wanted a future with Uma.”
Uma also revealed the reason she decided to quit the show and follow Wil.
She said: “I knew where my head and heart was at and it’s with Wil so I wanted to be true to my feelings for him.”
Uma also shared her and Wil’s plans for their relationship once they get back to reality.
She continued: “We can’t wait to just do normal things on the outside, stay inside and have a takeaway and go on cute dates.

“Wil wants to take me to Whitley Bay to see where he’s from but we’ve also discussed him possibly moving to London so I’m looking forward to the future with him. The only way is up from here.”
Summarising his Love Island experience, Wil added: “I’ve met friends for life and left with a potential wife!”
And opening up about his reaction to Uma deciding to leave with him, he continued: “I feel like what I did and said to her was enough for her to end her journey with me, it makes me feel amazing, I couldn’t be happier with the outcome to be honest.
“I’ve been in there for 3 and a half weeks and I’ve left with a girlfriend pretty much.”
