Love Island UK winner Greg O'Shea has unveiled a dramatic new look on Instagram.

The Irish reality star, who won the show in 2019 alongside his now ex-girlfriend Amber Gill, is now sporting peroxide blond locks rather than his natural brunette hair.

Alongside a series of photos of himself flaunting his makeover, Greg wrote: "Turns out blondes do have more fun!"

He was one of the final Bombshells to enter the show, and swept Amber off her feet following her rocky romance with Michael Griffiths.

However, their romance didn't last – and the pair called it quits just weeks after the finale aired.

Amber later claimed that Greg dumped her by text during an appearance on ITV's Loose Women.

"From my point of view, I still wanted to make it work. And there was a call a few days prior, just chatting. But definitely on that day, it was just a text," Amber revealed.

"Basically all I wanted was a bit of effort from him to come to London or Newcastle to see me.

"I said I'm going to have to give up if you don't put the effort in. And he said, 'OK bye'. I was expecting it to be a bit different."

Greg later appeared on The Late Late Show solo after Amber failed to turn up following news of their breakup.

"Me and Amber have been chatting the last few days and the whole thing about [breaking up] over text isn't true,' he said.

"It was over a long time, it wasn't just one text."
