BEN Foden has revealed his ‘normal job’ after quitting fame for a completely different career in the US.
The rugby star, 38, spent his career playing at scrum-half and fullback, and he was previously married to Saturdays singer Una Healy for six years.
But he upped sticks and moved over to the US after marrying New Yorker Jackie Belanoff Smith after just two weeks of "serious" dating.
Now, the Dancing on Ice and X Factor sportsman has revealed a very different career over in The United States.
Ben has become a glitzy American estate agent and shared the news on his social media while posing with his colleagues.

The star looked suave in a suit for his big announcement, as he posed for a series of professional photos.
Ben penned: “The @jonathansteinteam from @douglaselliman are here to take care of all your Real Estate needs in NYC, Hamptons, South Florida and South Carolina.
“Don’t be afraid to reach out and let me show you why we are considered one of the best teams to work with in the country.”
Ben’s fans jumped into the comments to question whether he was hinting at a new property TV show with the stylish snaps.

Another person commented to say: “Now that’s a reality show I’d definitely watch.”
The social media pages of the companies specified show off huge and luxurious homes in New York, The Hamptons and Miami.
Ben also shared a separate post with another posed photo of himself and the team, as he raved about being featured in Forbes Magazine.
His move to real estate is a far cry from the rugby pitch, where Ben made his name.
Foden started his career at Sale Sharks before moving on to the Northampton Saints.
He spent a decade there, helping the Saints win the Premiership in 2014.
He also had a spell in New York with Rugby United, but shared the news that he was retiring from the sport.
He announced on Instagram: "So after lots of deliberation I’ve decided to finally hang up my playing boots from professional rugby.
"From a young ‘Pop Idol’ starting at @salesharks to 10 years at @northamptonsaints to finally finishing my career with @rugbyunitedny it’s been a 18 year career filled with every emotion possible.
"Rugby has given me so much through my life time and given me enough memories to keep me smiling for the rest of my days.
"It’s taken me all over the world and I feel privileged to say it’s given me friendships and a family I can always depend on.
"To everyone who has been part of this journey with me, thank you for everything! – Rugby really is a wonderful game and has certainly enriched my life.
"I promise to always, (wherever possible) give back to the game I loved playing so much.
"Excited for the next chapter in my life and what’s around the corner.
"Finally thank you Dad for making this incredible journey possible. Foden 15 out."
Ben was far from camera shy and participated on X Factor: Celebrity in 2019.
He was a part of a group called Try Star alongside Levi Davis and Thom Evans, but the trio finished fifth.
