@thetimes: Luke Mabbott has always been a grafter. As soon as he left school he printed out copies of his CV and handed them around, pestering anyone he could for a job. “My dad used to say, ‘Get a trade under your belt and the world’s your oyster,’” the 31-year-old says. While looking for an apprenticeship, he eventually found a plumber willing to take him on. But his plumbing journey hit a speed bump when he was 25 and his career path took an unusual turn. In 2020, Mabbott entered the villa for series six of the ITV reality show Love Island and went on to reach the final. When he left, he never thought he would find a way back to plumbing. Now, he has combined his career with his DIY skills by co-hosting Renovation Rescue on Channel 4 with Vogue Williams (series 2 aired in July), and helping ambitious homeowners with their botched building jobs #renovation #LoveIsland #DIY #plumbing #fix
