Ovie is best known for taking part in the fifth season of Love Island, aired in 2019. He joined the show during Casa Amor and finished third with India Reynolds.

Speaking about his experience on Celebrity SAS, Ovie said it was "incredible".

"Oh, it blew me away. You kind of see what to expect on TV, but you don't really know until you get there," he said.

"You don't know how bad it is, the bad things that you have to do, you just don't know the reality of it," he continued.

"But it was incredible. Absolutely incredible. I had one of the best experiences I think I've had in my life."

In this eight-episode season, Ovie and his teammates will get a taste of a military-adjacent training in New Zealand, where they'll be exposed to constant cold and wet in a challenging landscape.

Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins will air on Channel 4 every Sunday and Monday from 22 September at 9pm.
