It's been a whirlwind of TV appearances and photoshoots for Sam Bird since he left the villa but he has still found time to come back home.

The 25-year-old entrepreneur lives in Norwich and owns Core Fitness in The Union Building in Rose Lane.

Sam is the head trainer at the boutique disco-gym, which also boasts a juice bar, and even trained celebrities including Made in Chelsea's Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo and singer George Shelley.

The reality star was spotted at the Rooftop Gardens on Thursday evening, located in the same building, enjoying drinks with his friends on his Instagram story.

He also uploaded a clip earlier in the day whilst on the train saying it was the first time he's been back to the city since leaving.
