Speaking at Wembley Stadium yesterday, the home of his next fight, Anthony said: "He's doing well. He's a lovely lad anyway.

"I don't watch it. I don't have the time to, but I support him."

The champ then asked what the odds were for a Josh win.

AJ isn't the only famous face backing Josh.

Earlier this week Nathan Massey revealed his secret friendship with Josh and tipped him to win.

The former Islander confessed during an appearance on Lorraine that he's been mates with Josh since long before he went into the villa.

Nathan, 24, was interviewed alongside his new fiancée - fellow Love Island winner Cara De La Hoyde, 28, and their baby son Freddie.

When asked who he thought was going to win this year's show Nathan replied Josh and Kaz.

Before the villa Josh was best known for presenting sports coverage for LADbible and SPORTbible.

His Instagram account features some big names in sport and shows him rubbing shoulders with the likes of Conor McGregor, Roger Federer and Andy Murray.
