Wes Nelson is a millionaire at 22 but says he doesn’t have time for dating

Flush Wes Nelson is already a millionaire - but won't be splashing that cash on girls any time soon.

The Love Island star has opened up about his life since leaving the hit ITV show two years ago.

He says he has already banked seven figures but won't be stopping there.

Wes and Arabella Chi called time on their relationship after nine months together at the start of lockdown.

Their six-year age gap was a contributing factor, it was claimed back in April, and he hasn't been hitting the apps since becoming single.

The former nuclear engineer isn't in hurry to find love - but did say he achieved millionaire status when he was 21.

Speaking to The Sun on Sunday, he said: “I’m not really focused on girls or anything right now. I just want to focus on my career.

“Girls and friends, they come and go and they understand that.

“All my friends understand. But everything else and stuff like girls? It doesn’t really bother me at the moment and I’m quite happy just working on my career."

Then he joked: “Obviously, if it was Rihanna that would be mental. You never know !”

After leaving the villa in 2018, Wes was reported to have earned £300,000 from a six week nightclub PA tour.

The star is also working with ­clothing brand BoohooMan.

Hunky Wes signed a deal with Universal Music Group and EMI Records back in August.

He appeared on The X Factor : ­Celebrity last year and also skated to some more cash by signing up to Dancing on Ice.

He also earns from his Instagram account, which is pushing two million followers.

Despite having plenty of cash, Wes moved in with fellow Love Island star Josh Denzel.

He added: "I’ve done well, but I haven’t changed - I’m still Wes from Stoke."

But the Islander is keen to keep his bank balance topped up.
