LOVE Island's Michael Griffiths revealed that he's been summoned into work after his appearance on the popular reality show.

It comes after the 27-year-old recently revealed that he may find it tricky to return to his job as a firefighter.

On Friday's This Morning, presenters Rochelle Humes and Ben Shephard questioned Michael about his current employment status and if he'll be able to go back to the fire service.

The reality star admitted that he has in fact been asked to come into work to discuss his future.

Ben asked: “Have they told you if you can come back?”
The Scouser, who was one of the only six contestants who applied for the show, replied: "They’ve just sent me a letter to be like I need to come into work and speak to them.”

Michael's behaviour in the villa was frowned upon by the nation as he was accused of being manipulative towards Geordie lass Amber Gill, 21.

He coupled up with the beautician in week two when he confessed his feelings towards her, but his head was turned after the original girls went over to Casa Amor and six sex new beauties entered the villa.

Michael made a move for newbie Joanna Chimonides, 22, after admitting he wasn't being himself in his relationship with Amber.

Amber stayed true to Michael as she returned to the villa, while the hunk began a relationship with Joanna.

He started to treat Amber in a way that many viewers didn't agree with.

The show received 147 complaints and fans slammed his actions when he treated Amber "like a dog" as he barked at her to "sit down" before telling her he had no interest in dating her. 

In a shock twist, Joanna was voted off the Island and she called the 27-year-old a "snake" for not leaving with her - even though he said he had found everything he wanted with her.

Amber then received interest from Greg O'Shea, 25, which led the firefighter to confess that he still had feelings for her.

His behaviour was criticised by women's charity Women's Aid.

However, Michael has hit back at claims he "gaslighted" and "emotionally abused" his ex.

"Me and Amber cleared everything up when we chatted in the lounge and I knew I was directing my frustration at her," he told The Sun Online.

"I was thinking, 'Why am I doing this? I am just hurting a friend.’ When Amber and I cleared everything up, she kind of laughed it off.

"She knew me more than anyone else in the villa did. We left things on a really nice note, we are actually friends."
