Love Island star’s boss tips Irish employee to win TV reality show
BY
LOVE Island star Catherine Agbaje has been backed by her boss to win the series – as he praised the Dubliner for being “exceptional”.
Catherine qualified with a masters degree in real estate development and investment from the University of Greenwich following her move from Ireland in 2021.
She was hired by Kalmars in London after her employer Sebastian Kalmar said she came highly “recommended”.
Sebastian said: “She has been fantastic in a professional setting. Always continually impressing. She was recommended to us by one of the course directors at Greenwich University who I stay in contact with, who said, ‘Sebastian, you’ve got to meet Catherine, she is a very talented young individual. We think she could go places’.
“We were very impressed from the get-go. She’s been working with clients and is very successful here.” Staff at Kalmars
watched the opening episode of Love Island on Monday. Sebastian said: “We were all eagerly on the edge of our seats watching it and waving Catherine’s flag.
“We’re incredibly proud and pleased with how she carried herself and yeah, we’ve been very excited about the whole thing.” Sebastian said Catherine, 22, confided in him about going on the show.
He added: “It was ‘let me just talk in confidence about what is potentially going to be happening in the notso-distant future’ and just having a discussion with us as an employer. Employee to employer.”
But he said it was a ”bittersweet moment” hearing she was about to go on the show, leaving the company for the foreseeable future – but he hopes she will return.
Sebastian added: “It was sort of a bittersweet mixed emotions situation where on a personal note you are incredibly excited for her. On a professional note, you’re quite gutted because she has been a fantastic team member and we have mixed emotions.
“We want her to do incredibly well but also at the same time we want her at one point, perhaps, she would come back, which we would welcome her with open arms if we did have that opportunity again.”
Asked if he thought she could win the series, he said: “We definitely think she’s got what it takes to go all the way.
“We think she is exceptional and we wish her the best. We hope she has great success.”
