The dynamic duo have recently finished their sold out tour but Anna has revealed it hasn't been an easy ride since leaving the famous villa.

Speaking on behalf of WhichBingo, Anna revealed: "Going on Love Island is great but it can go up and go down.

"I made so much money when I came off Love Island but I got so excited I spent all of it and at one point I lost everything and had move out of my flat.

"Now with the podcast it's gone back up and I'm not making the same mistakes I did when I was first out of Love Island. I'm going to be smart this time.

"I grew up most of my life struggling for money and suddenly I got money and I didn't know how to manage it but you live and you learn and I'm lucky I've been given another chance."

Before singing up for Love Island, Anna worked as a pharmacist and she returned to help out during the coronavirus lockdown but has since been forced to take a break from the role.

She explained: "I was a pharmacist but I was probably the strangest pharmacist you'll ever meet with my fake tits and fake arse. I try to stay in it a little bit but I couldn't keep up with it.

"What I do now is so different to pharmacy and I really enjoy this and that was really boring. The money is incomparable which is so sad because you study so hard."

Anna went on to share some words of wisdom to the sexy singletons currently taking part in Love Island series 12 and confirmed that she won't be returning for All Stars.

She said: "My advice would be when you come out be smart with your money and be smart with your clout, do something with it. Find what you're good at and do it.

"I'm just so grateful that after six years that I'm still in this industry but I just think there's no point of me doing All Stars because I know everyone and I know no one is going to be for me.

"I'm open to other dating shows and Love Island Games because there's people from all over the world but not All Stars because the people on there are not my cup of tea."

Love Island airs Sunday to Thursday on ITV2 and ITVX at 9pm
