Love Island Scot Biggs Chris has renovated and sold his first house - and has bought another as he fulfils his dream to build a property renovation business.

Biggs, 29, bought his first house around July 2021 when he was dating Rebecca Gormley and the then loved up couple had even planned to make it their family home.

However, the Scots Love Island contestant decided to keep the two bedroom property in Airdrie when they split just six weeks later.Biggs has since been showing his followers on Insta of the progress he has made on the property since then.He has renovated everything himself from the kitchen and bathrooms to living room and garden.Speaking to the Daily Record, he said: "Now another couple can enjoy it instead of me, I'm really thrilled that I've done this renovation through my own business BMC Properties and it's the start of a very exciting journey for me."I'm also trying to motivate people and young adults on social media with a message that anything is possible."I used to buy designer clothes with any money I earned and by the time I added it all up I realised it was a deposit on a property."I'm investing in myself for the future and I've now bought another property to do up - just across the road.

I'd rather be skint investing in myself than go skint by partying."Its not easy but I'm optimistic and thrilled to bits I made a good sale on it." Don't miss the latest news from around Scotland and beyond - Sign up to our daily newsletter here.
