What is Love Island Sam Taylor's job?
Love Island star Sam is a hairdresser, however he doesn't believe people would think that's the job he does.
The 23-year-old revealed: "I’d say not to judge a book by its cover because how I look compared to what I do for work might not necessarily add up. You wouldn’t look at me as a tall guy covered in tattoos and think that I make girls' hair look pretty for a living."

"I had a small piece of glass stuck in my leg and both police and fire attended. This is the second time. The salon needs protecting by bollards. It was lucky it didn't come any further in."
