Love Island star graduates a year later after being in the villa during original ceremony
ONE Love Island star has just shared a huge moment with fans after her stint in the villa.
Catherine Agbaje opted to try and find love in Mallorca instead of attending her graduation from university.
The real estate agent was one of the original entrants on the ITV2 show, before she was dumped on day 38 of the show.
Like all Love Island stars, she put her life on hold and dropped all her prior commitments for an opportunity to compete in the famous villa.
After her success on the long-running programme, it seems she has finally got round to celebrating a previously missed milestone.
Catherine, 24, previously completed a masters in Real Estate Development and Investment from the University of Greenwich.
But she was previously unable to make the first commemoration due to her participation on the show.
But today, she took to her Instagram story to reveal that she finally got to honour the massive achievement.
She posted a string of glam selfies in her ceremonial cap and gown onto her Instagram grid page as she posed outside the impressive institution.
“Soo I graduated,” she wrote, alongside a female graduation emoji.
“2nd degree in the bag, beauty and the brains always, fun fact, I graduated last year but was in the villa so did the ceremony this year.”
Her famous friends rushed to congratulate their showbiz colleague as they left messages of support.
“Congratulations beautiful!”, wrote Demi Jones.
Her co-star Ella Thomas penned: “Congrats girl”
Love Island influencer and TV presenter Will Njobvu said: “Congrats!!”
Gillian McKeith‘s daughter Afton McKeith gushed: “Congratulations!!”
Love Island's biggest Ofcom complaints
Love Island has been hit with thousands of complaints over the years - here are the most moaned about moments
Dani’s tears: in 2018, Ofcom received 2,644 complaints when Dani Dyer was left in floods of tears over Jack Fincham during the Casa Amor. Viewers felt the show had been manipulated to make it appear Jack was going to cheat, when in fact he wasn’t. And poor Dani didn’t learn the truth for days.
Maura fury: Although she later won over the public, Maura Higgins got off to a bad start in 2019. After arriving as a bombshell, she made a beeline for Tommy Fury – who was coupled up with Molly-Mae Hague – and tried to kiss him while straddling him on a daybed. 709 people accused her actions as ‘sexual harassment’.
Faye explodes: The 2021 series of Love Island remains the most complained series about yet. 4,330 complaints were made to Ofcom after Faye Winter received a postcard from Casa Amor, which appeared to show her fella Teddy Soares kissing a bombshell. But a whopping 24,763 complaints flooded in when Faye came face-to-face with Teddy again. Faye’s shocking outburst even sparked a reaction from male domestic abuse charity, ManKind Inititive, who branded her ‘unacceptable’.
Bish bash: The following year, the fallout from Movie Night sparked 3,617 Ofcom complaints. Fans of the show were horrified by Luca Bish’s harsh reaction when Gemma Owen was shown speaking to bombshell Billy Brown.
Muggy Mitch: Almost 1,000 Ofcom complaints flooded in last year in the final week of Love Island. Viewers were unimpressed with Mitchel Taylor’s treatment of Abi Moores and felt he was ‘targeting’ her. Fans even urged Love Island bosses to check on Abi’s ‘mental health and welfare’.
And her other fans also flooded the comments section with their well wishes for her big moment.
One fan commented: “Our graduated babe,” along with a white heart emoji.
A second exclaimed: “YES!! Congrats Catherine.”
“Congratulations Cathy brains and beauty the full package,” noted a third.
As a fourth added: “Super proud of you.”
