Ollie was one of the original islanders in the show’s first ever winter series.
Just days into his journey, the public discovered photos of him on big game hunts and were fuming, even putting pressure on ITV to remove him.
He eventually did drop out of the show, but said it was because he was in love with someone else in the real world.
Love Island has not done a winter series since then, however confirmed it would be back for a second round in January 2023.
