Ovie Soko. Either you fancy him - or you want to be him. (Or, to be honest, maybe both.) But for fans hoping he'll be gracing our screens once again as the resident unbothered-hottie on Love Island All Stars, we've got some news.

After one fan wrote replied to a picture posted by the basketball star saying 'The way he's about to be the main character of Love Island All Stars'. Ovie replied simply: 'I'm 32 years old.'

Love Island, is of course, a young person's game. And the ripe old age of 32 is practically geriatric in Love Island years.

When another fan asked what the star to explain, Ovie replied 'I’m tryna find a wife, marry, wack 2 or 3 buns in the oven, and rip out in British man’s english.'

We're taking this to mean the rumours aren't true, and Ovie might not be stepping into another Love Island villa any time soon. Hear that? That's the sound of our hearts breaking.

It feels like a long, long time since Ovie became an overnight crush. EvenLiam Gallagher, king of the #lads, wanted Ovie to win his season Love Island, tweeting ‘Ovie Ovie Ovie Oi Oi Oi LG x’.

As we've said before, there are a million reasons to adore our basketball playing king - from the way he shouted ‘message!’ to the way he was unafraid to show his emotions while in the villa. So, considering we might not be getting any more Ovie moments from the villa anytime soon, we've created a gallery of his best moments on the show. Call it public service journalism and thank us later.

Ovie Soko Being The Best Love Island Contestant Ever

Ovie enjoying his holiday, as the villa erupted with drama behind him. Literally zero cares. Frankly, our new year's resolution is to be as wonderfully unbothered as he is.

Ovie using his time in the villa as an opportunity to learn how to swim (and looking very gorgeous while doing so.) Swoon.

Ovie, with sauce on him. That's it. And yes, we were all very jealous of Anna, who got to lick it off.

Just how low can Ovie go? Turns out, very low. Amber's face is how we're all feeling.

'These cameras must be so annoying with me being close. So close and tall, baby.'

His entire friendship with Amber was a moment for the books, but our hearts exploded when he danced on over to her in the recoupling. If we can't date him, we just want to be his friend.

'Rep that shit!' he says. It's the kind of encouragement we all need to pull of hats as well as Ovie.

It was one of the biggest dramas to hit the villa, but Ovie oh-so-calmly escorting India out of the firing line during Storm Anna was all the proof we needed that Ovie was (and still is) the greatest Islander of all time.
