Love Island’s Ovie Soko has decided lockdown is the best time to debut a new look.
The reality TV star has joined other celebrities who have decided to change up their hairstyles, or get rid of their locks completely, while in isolation.
With hairdressers and barbers currently shut due to covid-19, the 29-year-old decided to take matters into own hands and took a set of shavers to his beloved tresses.
Sporting no hair, the basketball player, who recently appeared on the Great British Bake Off, unveiled his transformation on social media – but not everyone was keen.

In the snap, Ovie showed off his buzzcut as he kicked back on his sofa wearing a grey tee.
Clearly happy with the results, he showed off his hair-less look to his 2.2million Instagram followers.
He simply captioned the post with a set of eye emojis.

And his stark transformation quickly sent tongues wagging.
One user, who clearly wasn’t a fan, exclaimed: “This isn’t it, chief.”
“Are you okay?” another concerned follower asked.
And a third wrote: “Delete this now.”
Amber Gill parodied Ovie’s haircut on TikTok as she made fun of his new look
However, his lack of hair was a surprising hit with others, with one admitting: “Don’t listen to them you’re still beautiful.”
Amber Gill, who starred with Ovie on last year’s Love Island, chipped in: “What happened?”
She later parodied his haircut during a TikTok video acting out the reasons why he had decided on the close shave.
The former beautician mocked the star by pretending to him, wearing a hat and replying with the line: “why not?”
