A LOVE Island star has returned to her normal job away from the spotlight as she quit the UK after being dumped from the villa.
The 25-year-old took to Instagram to showcase her new career in Nepal.
Ruchee Gurung was excited to show fans what she’d been working on after departing the UK.
The star, who is now a make-up artist, has just had her first client photoshoot in Nepal.
Ruchee shared a series of snapshots on Instagram showcasing her work for the automotive company BYD, which featured a lineup of cars in their advertisement.
She captioned the snap: “My first shoot I did as a MUA in Nepal.
“The pictured turned out better than the mood boards I created.”
She also revealed that she was the Creative Director for the shoot.
Prior to her stint on Love Island, Ruchee was a beautician based in London.
She was born in Hong Kong and moved to Nepal at the age of two before eventually settling in Sutton, in southwest London.
During her 2023 Love Island stint, Ruchee was dumped from the villa after finding herself in the bottom two with Ella Thomas. The decision on who to send home was left to their fellow islanders.
The star mentioned she wasn’t particularly bothered about being dumped because she didn’t have a connection with anyone in there.
She said: “I thought that I would be disappointed, but I’m not because I tried my best and I was myself.
“It didn’t work out for me and that’s completely fine.
“I thought that Ella was going to get saved because she has a connection in there, I would have probably even nominated myself to go – I’m so happy that they chose her.”
Although she was initially coupled up with Andre Furtado and things appeared to be going smoothly, their relationship came to an end when Andre expressed his desire to explore a connection with Catherine Agbaje.
