A Cornwall barber turned Love Island star has been inundated with love from fans after returning home from the All Stars series three.
Konnor Ewudzi, who was also on Love Island Season 11, was reportedly “hounded” in a bar after enjoying a night out in Newquay – and he’s even shown off beautiful Watergate Bay in his latest snaps.
Although the hunk didn’t make a long-lasting connection on the show, it seems the 30-year-old is getting plenty of attention in his hometown.
Konnor was spotted being mobbed by fans in his local bar, Sailors in Newquay, Cornwall, as reported by What’s The Jam.
The Love Islander, who returned to his work as a barber after his first stint on the show in 2024, allegedly visited the bar on Sunday (15 Feb).
Since leaving the villa, Konnor has received huge attention online with fans swooning over his posts. In one of his latest topless snaps, fans even labelled him a “thirst trap”.
Konnor, who works at St Austell Barbershop and sees clients travel miles for his services, lasted 17 days in the villa. Entering on day three as a bombshell, he was dumped with Imani Wheeler, alongside Curtis Pritchard and Kyra Lizama.
One concerned fan said: “You getting hounded in Sailors last night, I felt for you, maybe you loved it – either way hope it was a good night.”
One person added: “Konnor with the thirst traps.”
Another person said: “Loved you on Love Island this season, you are the sweetest man and a complete gentleman. “I hope you find the sweetest woman.” One other person said: “Lucky to live here aren’t we.” Another added: “Best place with the nicest guy.”
In another post, Konnor was pictured enjoying a coffee looking out at the gorgeous view of Watergate Bay. He captioned the photographs: “Can’t disturb my peace.”

Many fans gushed about how they “love Cornwall”, with others pointing out that they had spotted him.
One said: “Probably one of the most beautiful places in the country.” Another added: “Lucky to live here aren’t we (heart eyes emoji).”
Konnor recently revealed how he got into barbering – and even fellow islanders have said he was responsible for making sure they looked smart.
He said: “I bought a pair of clippers when I moved abroad to do a summer season as a holiday rep. My job was commission-based, so to create another revenue stream, I told people I worked with that I could cut their hair while they were on holiday.”
Now based in Cornwall, Fresha says Konnor is one of the few barbers in the South West specialising in afro-textured hair, which means clients “travel miles” to see him.
“All the local guys of colour do tend to come to me,” he said.
“Over the years, it has been traditionally quite difficult to find a barber who caters to afro hair in Cornwall, so I feel proud that it has become a bit of a community connection.”
