(Reuters) - Ireland's rugby sevens player Greg O'Shea says he has no regrets over giving up a celebrity lifestyle after winning the hit dating show "Love Island" to focus on pursuing his dream of qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics.

O'Shea, who won the fifth series of the show last year, is one of the most popular rugby players in the world with more than 1.2 million followers on Instagram but decided to move back to Limerick instead of working the celebrity circuit in London.
