Ovie Soko on Fame, Basketball & Surviving Love Island

Ovie Soko on Fame, Basketball & Surviving Love Island

Ovie Soko finally sits down with Mo Gilligan for a conversation that goes way beyond Love Island.

From playing basketball in America to suddenly becoming one of the most recognisable faces on British TV, Ovie opens up about the surreal moment he realised his life had changed forever — including fans literally stopping traffic when he walked into Selfridges.

They talk about the pressure of being a Black man in the spotlight, life on US college campuses, dating after reality TV, and why Ovie chose to go back to basketball instead of chasing the influencer lifestyle.

This episode is honest, funny and reflective — a rare look at what happens after the villa.

Expect stories about American culture shock, fame, identity and staying true to yourself when the whole world suddenly knows your name.
