The Hampshire local has regularly spoken about being a P.E teacher in his Love Island trailer and to other contestants on the show.
Hugo introduced himself as an educator in his Love Island trailer, saying: 'Hi, my name's Hugo, I'm 24 and I'm a P.E. teacher from Hampshire. I would definitely say that I am a cool teacher. I have never asked a girl to call me Mr Hammond.
'I don't think I could do it without laughing, so I'm definitely not going to be doing that any time in the near future.'

He continued: 'It's definitely going to be a Mr Hammond summer. No detentions, all fun, top marks. That's the dream.'
It comes after scenes in the reality show this week saw Hugo coin something called the 'half-night stand'.
Hugo said in a candid VT: 'I like my own bed and waking up by myself in the morning so I either have to do a runner or I have to boot them out so I can enjoy the rest of my evening and get my beauty sleep in.'
During his time on the show, Hugo has coupled up with Civil Servant Sharon Gaffka.

And although now having spent some time in the villa getting to know each other, things weren't going well between the duo on Wednesday.
Sharon pulled Hugo for a chat on the day beds where she revealed she was feeling 'avoided' and he apologised if she believed he was 'giving her the cold shoulder'.
Neither of the couple were feeling any sparks in their partnership, however seemed to be starting to think about making moves on others in the villa.
Hugo also told the other boys that he 'couldn't imagine' taking Sharon home to meet his family and that they have no chemistry.
On Tuesday's episode, the Islanders played a game dubbed Horny Devils, in which the Islanders had to read out anonymous sex confessions and plant a kiss on the person they believed was the culprit.

Faye Winter read out one confession, saying: 'Oh dirty! This boy once snogged ten girls in one night. I think it's going to be Hugo.'
She then enjoyed a kiss with Hugo, getting the guess correct. A second confession unveiled the news that Hugo once slept with someone in the middle of the road.
Days before entering the villa, MailOnline exclusively obtained an unearthed video of Hugo during his university days, in which he brands himself 'a massive sha***r'.
In the clip, the PE teacher is seen boasting to a group of male pals about his prowess in the bedroom, while holding a champagne glass at a house party in 2019.
Hugo brags: 'I'm a sha***r, a fine s*****r. I'm a sha***r, my friends.'

Hugo studied sports coaching at Oxford Brookes university where, according to pals, he considered himself a 'BNOC' – Big Name On Campus - and put partying before his studies.
A friend said: 'Hugo really thought he was the bees' knees and aimed to make a name for himself at university.
'He's bragged about his female conquests but they certainly weren't the ones bragging afterwards.
'Hugo was a divisive figure to say the least, some people liked him, while others thought he was just a posh k******d.'
