Greg O’Shea has said that having a fan follow him home is the “creepiest thing” that’s happened to him since becoming famous.

The Love Island star was walking back to his house in Dublin recently when a girl began to walk behind him, trailing him to his door.

“I was over in Dundrum, I live just beside Dundrum, buying something and I was walking home then just around the corner and this girl followed me home, which is a bit creepy,” he said on Baz and Andrew’s House of Rugby Live this week.

“That’s the creepiest thing that’s happened so far. She followed me literally to my front door. She ended up perking up towards the end and we had a conversation, she was fine, she wasn’t crazy but it was weird.

“[She was] 20 metres behind me for the whole thing. It was so weird, she didn’t say anything until I got to my door and the she was like, “Greg!”, as if I wasn’t Greg the last ten minutes like. So she knows where I live now!”

Continuing, Greg admitted that his new fame was taking some getting used to but that he couldn’t complain about it.

“People would take a limb off for the opportunities that I have now… it’s amazing but it’s just a bit weird for me now because I’m walking down the street and people are recognising me so I just have to be ready for that and not be ignorant.

“Everyone is so nice so like, take the moment to take the photo because it’s all going to end eventually.”
