Love Island's Ovie Soko sends fans into meltdown by shaving his head in lockdown

Ovie Soko caused a social media frenzy after he became the latest celebrity to shave his head during the lockdown.

The 29-year-old reality star was giving off 'quarantine vibes' as he posed for the sultry selfie in his latest Instagram post on April 14.

In the image, Ovie debuts a barely-there hair trim but kept his beard and moustache in neat condition.

Sharing the clip with his 2.2 million Instagram followers, a number of his celebrity pals couldn't wait to share their thoughts about his striking new look.

"I always said you’d look great bald," joked Love Island winner Greg O'Shea.

Fellow Love Islander Marvin Brooks added: "I’m dead! Somehow you still don’t look that bad."

"Goneeeee. Quarantine Vibes," wrote sports presenter Jaydee Dyer.

Other followers didn't appear that impressed with his new look, with one writing: "Baby wtf? still love you though but we might need to grow that back."

The hunky basketball player has been holed up at home as the lockdown remains in place across the country.

In the meantime, Ovie has been entertaining his fans with a bunch of funny clips and pictures as well as empowering and positive messages.

Last week, the television star took a moment out of his day to record a message where he thanked the NHS and urged fans to look after themselves.

"Just take a moment to be thankful today man, and be grateful for your health," he said in the video.

During his lockdown, he has also made his feelings very clear about who his ideal beau would be - reaching out to Rihanna on social media.
