ITV2 Love Island's Ovie Soko may have finally found a match

Professional basketball player Ovie Soko has been a little unlucky in the Love Island villa - until now? Perhaps? Maybe?

The 28-year-old was brought into the villa from Casa Amor by Anna, who quickly made it clear she only had eyes for Jordan and unofficially recoupled within days.

He revealed to Amber that he really liked Joanna, who was coupled up with Michael, but now she has been dumped from the Island, viewers have been left scratching their heads as to why none of the girls are throwing themselves at him.

Fans of the reality dating show will see Ovie get a text, which reads: " Ovie and Chris. Two new girls are waiting to take you on dates tonight,

please get ready. #backinthegame #slamdunk"

Ovie is keen to find out why Harley chose him for a date, she says: "I can see how much of a personality you’ve got. If you’re not funny, I don’t want to know you."

Harley asks Ovie’s about his career as professional basketball player, adding: "I could be courtside. Giving you a little cheer!"

Ovie says: "My cheerleader? Yes!"

Has the fan favourite finally found his cheerleader?

*Love Island is on ITV1, evenings from 9pm
