Casa Amor returned to Love Island in 2019 with 12 new Islanders joining the cast of the ITV2 series. One of the six new boys is professional basketball player Ovie Soko, whose height is bound to turn heads when he joins the original girls in Casa Amor. Here’s exactly how tall Love Island’s Ovie is and how the Casa Amor new boy compares to the other Islanders.
How tall is Ovie Soko from Love Island’s Casa Amor?
Ovie’s height will undoubtedly grab the girls’ attention when he joins them in Casa Amor this year.
The Love Island star has already expressed an interest in the 5ft 9in tall Anna Vakili prior to entering Casa Amor.
ITV2 viewers will watch the first signs of Ovie’s grafting of Anna on Friday, June 28.
Should he succeed, he’ll definitely fulfil Anna’s desire for a taller guy she repeatedly expressed in the very first episode of the series.
That’s because Love Island’s professional basketball player stands at a staggering 6ft 7in.
WHY DID THE GIRLS GO TO CASA AMOR FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 2019?
Ovie’s height is clearly one of his most striking attributes, but the Casa Amor new boy doesn’t regard it as one of his “best features”.
Instead, Ovie told ITV his best feature is his personality.
ITV heard from Ovie prior to his arrival: “I feel like I’m an eight but an international eight,
“Some people call themselves a 10 but you can be a 10 in one place and go to the opposite side of the world and be a four.
“Wherever I go around the world, I think I can be an eight.
“My best feature is my personality, I am just a vibe and people like being around my energy.”
Love Island fans will see Ovie make his debut on the ITV2 series when he joins the likes of Amber Gill and Amy Hart in Casa Amor.
Ovie is one of six new boys sent in to turn heads.
The other Cast Amor new boys are:
While each of the new boys will be hoping to couple up with one of the girls, none of them come close to Ovie in terms of height.
Ovie’s height isn’t the first one of the Islanders to catch viewers’ attention.
Tommy Fury left fans scouring the web to find out about how tall he was when he first entered the villa.
The pro boxer stands seven inches shorter than Ovie at 6ft.
Elsewhere, former maternity model Arabella Chi wowed the cast when she first entered the villa.
The conversation soon turned to Arabella’s height – she later revealed she was 5ft 10.5in.
Whether Ovie will use his height to his advantage and land himself a couple will be discovered in the coming days on Love Island.
Love Island 2019 continues at 9pm on ITV2 every weeknight and Sundays.
