A Love Island star from Lanarkshire has confirmed he will return home to join the judging panel at the Scottish Health & Fitness Awards.
Airdrie’s Anton Danyluk shot to fame after appearing on the popular ITV2 show back in 2019, where he was a hit with viewers who loved his down-to-earth approach – and quirky relationship with his mum, Sherie Ann.
Taking to his Instagram stories, the former reality TV star confirmed his return to his home country later this year after permanently moving to Dubai.

Last month, Anton spoke out about how issues he faced during childhood pushed him towards a career in the fitness industry.
Anton said: “Basically my story is I was overweight as a kid myself and I went through a lot of issues.
“Then I finally found fitness, it completely changed my life, and from then on I knew I wanted to help others to do the exact same thing.”
“In the last couple of years I got a little bit lost. I’m gonna be honest with you. I got lost in what I was doing and who was I because of obvious reasons.
“Coming back to online coaching on a daily basis has really made me feel better about myself.
“It really has shown me that my purpose in life is really to help others achieve amazing results and really help them be the best versions of themselves.”
