Much of Olubi's salary was paid by UK Sport and the National Lottery and by a post as a secondary school supply teacher. In 2016, after finding that his salary wasn't enough for him to train five days a week, he applied for various British game shows.[5] He appeared on an episode of The Cube, where he lost £10,000 after failing on the fourth task, before winning £12,000 on Deal or No Deal.[10] He also appeared on Can't Touch This,[11] a game show in which contestants are shot out of a catapult and navigate an assault course;[12] he told PA Media in 2018 that he had been "shot out of a cannon" on the programme, and described himself as a "human cannonball".[13]
Olubi attempted to contest the 2014 Winter Olympics, but had to pull out after suffering a serious injury,[10] and also missed the 2015–16 Bobsleigh World Cup through injury. He and Brad Hall contested the 2017–18 Bobsleigh World Cup, but was disqualified after he fell off and completed the course on foot.[6] He then contested the 2018 Winter Olympics, where he, Lamin Deen, Andrew Matthews, and Ben Simons came 18th.[2] He also appeared on ITV's The Big Audition[14] and the Discovery+ dating show Written in the Stars.[15] In May 2023, he was named "Phantom", as one of the new Gladiators in the television series of the same name,[16] which began broadcasting on BBC One from January 2024[17] and was watched by six million viewers.[18]
