Ouzy came into the main Villa with Ella following Casa Amor and Iain said this was one of his stand-out moments from the current series of the show.
He explained that Ouzy, who is from Edinburgh, fitted his auntie’s bathroom about three years ago and his aunt sent a photo to their family Whatsapp group chat and said Ouzy was “gorgeous” and should be on Love Island.
Roman Kemp said: “Wow, that is insane.”
