Last night, viewers’ hearts were melted when 21-year-old beautician Amber choose to couple with 28-year-old Ovie so he could stay on the show and find love.
She said: “I want to couple up with this guy because he’s the funniest guy I’ve ever met ever ever ever ever.
“He’s got such a chilled vibe to him. He gives us the best advice. I would class him as a big brother to me and I would love to see him find someone in this villa.”
She confirmed: “The boy I would like to couple up with is Ovie.”

However, the guy she really likes is Michael Griffiths, who she was coupled up with before he swapped her for Joanna Chimonides.
Nonetheless, fans believe she and Ovie could win the show as friends.
One tweeted: “Hold up.. y’all Ovie and Amber don’t have to be an actual couple to win.
“If they stay coupled up together, we can still vote them to win. They can be the first friendship couple to win.. LETS GOOO ?.”
