Love Island set to sign ‘new Tommy Fury’ boxer Joshua Legrove for 2022 series
LOVE Island bosses are in talks to sign the “new Tommy Fury” for the upcoming series.
Hunky Joshua Legrove looks set to head to the villa after catching the eye of producers with his jet set lifestyle and impressive boxing career.
Joshua started boxing as a young boy, but has also carved out a career as a model thanks to his handsome looks.
The 6ft2 has travelled the world working different brands and recently spent time in Miami working.
A TV insider said: “Joshua is a perfect fit for the show. Bosses are hoping he’ll follow in the footsteps of boxer Tommy Fury, who was a huge hit.
“Joshua is really handsome but there is much more to him than that – the girls will go wild for him.”
