Love Island narrator Iain Stirling reveals secret connection to villa star
LOVE Island narrator Iain Stirling has revealed his secret off-screen connection to a villa bombshell.
The popular ITV2 star, 35, let slip his link to Scottish footballer Ouzy See during a candid chat on BBC’s The One Show.
Iain cited Ouzy’s arrival into the main villa with Ella T as one of his favourite moments of the current Love Island season.
Show host Alex Jones, 46, then called him up on the unexpected link and asked: “You mentioned Ouzy there, is it right that you have got a connection with that particular contestant outside the world of Love Island?
Iain giggled and confessed: “Cause he’s from Edinburgh, he’s done my auntie’s kitchen about three years ago.”
Alex’s co-host Roman Kemp, 30, squealed: “No way,” to which Iain continued: “Yeah my auntie sent a photo on the family WhatsApp group and saying ‘this guy is gorgeous he should be on Love Island.'”
He then clarified: “Yeah bathroom actually, it’s the same. Handyman. It’s stuff I don’t understand.”
As Roman and Iain joked about his family’s home renovation requests, Iain referred to former show star Tommy Fury, 24, and quipped: “We are having Tommy Fury around to instal a hot tub this year.”
Last season, Love Island “villain’ Liv Hawkins also revealed a huge secret she was forced to keep from show narrator Iain as she opened up on their off-screen connection.
The actress and boxing ring girl found fame on the ITV2 dating show earlier this year.
Yet she had an illustrious film and TV career beforehand, starring in a Bond movie and being Michelle Keegan’s body-double as well as ITV show Buffering.
Iain, 35, was at the helm of the latter – and it was then when she was forced to deceive him.
Olivia told the Daily Star: “There was a thing I did called Buffering with Iain Stirling.
“That was so funny actually because I remember I was on set and getting a call from the [Love Island] producers.
“He was sat on the opposite side of the room.
“It was a really weird moment because I remember whispering to someone on the phone like ‘Iain is here with me’, and they were like that’s so weird.”
Eagle-eyed fans then spotted the brunette on the Buffering episode – and were quick to call out a fix.
