Love Island’s Liberty Poole won the hearts of the nation when she sensationally quit the show just days before the final as her relationship with Jake Cornish crumbled in front of her eyes.
In emotional scenes, the 21 year old ended things with Jake after realising things were not working between them. Liberty admitted she “needed to be true to herself” and told Jake that she didn’t think he loved her.
However, despite her heartbreak, experts have revealed that she may have more earning potential than winners Millie Court and Liam Reardon as she chose “self love” and “friendship” over finding the one.
PR expert Mark Borkoski has revealed that walking away won’t affect Liberty’s career at all – in fact, it may make it even bigger.
He told The Mirror, "Liberty’s timing and tactics have chimed with a post-Covid world.
"She will be a multi-millionaire."
