Love Island star reveals very normal job with 5am starts after career change ngocc

A LOVE Island star has switched up her influencer lifestyle for a normal job with an eye-wateringly early 5am start time.

The ITV2 beauty, who failed to find lasting love on the winter version of the matchmaking series in 2023, has been busy getting skilled-up for her new role.

Claudia Fogarty fans can now take her reformer Pilates classes after she bagged her fitness qualifications and a job at a local studio.

The Blackburn lass, 30, who owned a fashion boutique, can now be found on the reformer bed at Kore in Preston.

She took to her Instagram Stories this week to capture her pre-timetable photoshoot before posting an image showing her holding a mantra card above the chic fitness equipment.

It read: "I love the person I am and I love the person I am becoming."

In her caption, she wrote: "The 5am get up has started!

"My first day teaching at Kore Reformer Pilates."

The star has regular classes on the schedule, including on Thursday and Friday mornings

She also works weekends, dedicating her Saturday mornings to the studio.

Claudia is following in the footsteps of her mum Michelle, who works as a fitness coach.

It also comes just months after she helped raise £8,000 for charity after taking part in a relay Marathon in Rome.

Claudia previously ran the clothing boutique Sister Stories with sister Danielle.

The brand was described as selling "high-end and premium brands for women in the heart of the Ribble Valley [Lancashire]".

Claudia was coupled up with Casey O'Gorman on Love Island 2023 before he had his head turned by Casa Amor's Rosie Seabrook.

Despite their time together coming to an end in the villa, they then grew close again once on the outside.

The pair described their relationship as "friends with benefits" - but later went their separate ways.

Casey then went on to feature in the 2025 All Stars spin off, winning the show with now-girlfriend Gabby Allen.
