Having already built up a small but engaged social media following back in Stoke-on-Trent via Muay Thai and a short-lived football career, Wes became one of Love Island’s most popular residents when he joined the show in 2018. Due to his popularity, Wes currently has 1.6 million followers on Instagram and 420,000 followers on TikTok.

Turning down hundreds and thousands of pounds in prospective brand and TV deals, Wes’s only focus now is on making and performing music. “I’ve done a lot in 22 years,” says the former Muay Thai champion and Nuclear System Design Engineer. “Music is the only thing that’s really resonated, this is the one thing I really want to do. It’s not a passion project or a whim. I’m in this for the long haul!”
