Sadly, it wasn't meant to be, and despite being coupled up with Indiyah Polack, he failed to find love in the villa.

On his exit, he told ITV: "I didn’t find romance but it was nice to be in the Villa, nice to have a pool in the heat, couldn’t really complain.

"Obviously short-lived but that’s cool though."
