Civil Service World:A Department for Transport civil servant is among the contestants on the upcoming series of Love Island, having left her role as an operations lead in the department to join the show.
Sharon Gaffka will be among the contestants when the reality show returns next week, and according to the Mirror, “eyebrows were raised” when it was revealed the 25-year-old would take part.
The paper said Gaffka quit her role as an operations manager for the DfT» to sign up, but did not tell her former employers she would be joining the ITV2 reality show.
A source at the ministerial department said: “It was surprising to see the Love Island lineup... plenty of eyebrows were raised.
“But everyone thinks the DfT is potholes and bus stops, so it’s great to see a former colleague bringing a bit of glamour to the Department for Transport."
