Love Island's Trey Norman left with bloodied and bruised eye after boxing match

A Love Islandstar looked very different after a fight left him with a bruised and bloodied eye. Trey Norman was seen heading to the airport as he ventured off to Ibiza just hours after going head-to-head with Stu Wilson in a light heavyweight bout, which saw him walk away from the ring with several injuries.

Trey, 24, from Doncaster, South Yorks, was seen at Leeds Bradford Airport today, just hours after his fight with Stu over the weekend. The star who appeared on series 11 of the hit ITV dating show, hosted by Maya Jama, looked downcast as he made his way to the departures area of the airport ahead of his holiday.

Wearing a white T-shirt and black jogging bottoms, the reality star and insurance broker turned boxer made no attempt to engage with those around him as he wheeled his suitcase over to the airport. His battered and bruised eye stood out from his tanned complexion.

In the second round of his fight, Stu punched Trey in the face, catching his right eye, leaving it swollen and filled with blood. As he jetted out of England, his eye struggled to remain open due to the swelling, revealing the details of his injury, which he sustained in the match held in Stoke on Trent.

The match came just weeks after Trey spoke about his decision to return to his insurance work at McCarron Coates, stating that the industry required better marketing when targeting younger people. "It's great to share my story as a young person and why I enjoy [working in insurance] so much. It's not been done by someone who's been on TV and come back to [the industry]," he told Insurance Times.

After leaving the villa following Movie Night last year, Trey was accused by Ellie that he was "fame hungry" and had a string of red flags attached to him. He has strongly refuted this. "I was really shocked and disappointed because I feel like I've always had Ellie's back, especially when she came out, I've always wanted to protect her and speak about her in a positive light," he told Heat magazine.

He went on to explain that after they recieved the fewest public votes and were booted out, he and Ellie had decided to give their relationship a go but the distance between where they lived, Cardiff and Doncaster, was just too much and they had made an agreement to remain friends.

Since exiting the villa, Trey has kept a low profile on social media and rarely shares an insight into his personal life, but has expressed his interest in boxing, having previously gone up against the likes of Nathan Pearce and Kieran Elliot.

Speaking ahead of entering the villa, Trey told the press: "Something that a lot of women like that they wouldn't expect from me but I'm a bit of a geek and academic.

"I've got a First Class Economics Degree and have completed my masters as well. I also play chess and was in the chess club at University."
