Jake Cornish doesn’t like the fame
The star opened three businesses after hisLove Island debut – a bed and mattress company, an outdoor furniture company and a promotions company. And although these companies keep him busy, the 25-year-old wishes ‘people didn’t know who he was.’
Speaking to The Sun in an interview, Jake touched upon his struggle to deal with the after-effects of being famous. He revealed:
It’s nice being in the limelight and people speaking to you and that kind of thing but sometimes you do think ‘I wish people would just not know me' so you could just relax.
