Former The Only Way Is Essex star Harry Lee has dramatically turned his back on television fame to embark on a completely new career path as a luxury property agent in Dubai.
From Reality TV to Real Estate
The 30-year-old reality personality, who first found fame on ITV's hit show TOWIE in 2019, has officially left his television career behind him. Harry Lee announced his career transformation via Instagram, sharing a polished professional photograph of himself dressed in a pale blue shirt and smart navy trousers.
In his social media revelation, Harry explained he's now specialising in the exclusive Emirates Living community, helping clients find homes in one of Dubai's most sought-after neighbourhoods. His post enthusiastically stated: "Excited to now be specialising in the beautiful community of Emirates Living, helping you find the right home in one of Dubai's most sought-after neighbourhoods."
Support from Fans and Famous Friends
The career announcement received immediate support from his followers and celebrity circle. Fellow TOWIE star Dan Edgar showed his approval with clapping emojis, as did Ibiza Weekender's Callum Izzard who mirrored the same positive response.
Fans flooded the comments section with encouraging messages, with one admirer writing: "Congrats on your new job!!" Another supporter added: "Excited to watch your new Real Estate journey unfold - you're going to absolutely smash it and be one hell of a broker," while a third simply commented: "Go smash it" alongside a heart emoji.
Relationship History and Recent Split
This significant life change comes shortly after Harry's breakup from Love Island star Samie Elishi last year. According to reports, the couple had been secretly dating for months before The Sun newspaper revealed their romance in February 2024.
The pair went public with their relationship the following month, sharing loved-up photographs on Instagram. At the time, Samie told media outlets that their romance was "going strong" after years of friendship.
However, the relationship ended in September 2024, with an insider explaining: "In recent months they have grown apart and decided it was better to remain friends. They tried their best to make things work, but some things just aren't meant to be. They decided to call it quits but wish each other the best."
Prior to his relationship with Samie, Harry had been romantically linked with TOWIE co-stars Frankie Sims and Chloe Brockett, making him a familiar face in reality television circles.
Harry's move to Dubai places him among the thousands of Britons who have relocated from the UK to the United Arab Emirates, trading television studios for luxury property markets in one of the world's most glamorous locations.
