But Biggs says there was a lot of judgement surrounding his return to work. He told us: 'I went back to work after Love Island and was in overalls working in a garage and I got judged. 'Somebody said to me 'mate were you not on Love Island?' but I'm doing the right thing because a lot of these people make out they're something they're not, whereas I'm actually building a career.' Biggs continued: 'I do understand – you're going on the biggest show then all of a sudden you're back working at Primark or Zara, but for me I'm really still grafting. I need to get my career going and provide my family. It's not been easy. "I've kept myself grounded. I see people quit their businesses and think they're going to be millionaires coming off Love Island… and then it all falls down. 'I'm not well enough, I'm not a millionaire. I was on the show for just three days.' The Sun previously revealed how the Islanders receive £250 a week for appearing on the show. Essentially they don't get paid, the amount they receive is paid by ITV to compensate them for their time on the show. The fee covers their bills, their rent as well as other general costs they usually have to cover back home. After leaving the villa, Biggs is definitely putting the work in, and says he's up at 5am mos){kind=link}
