A Lewes FC footballer is a favourite to win Love Island.
Bookmakers have revealed the TV dating show’s candidates’ odds for this year’s season 11 and how likely they are to win the £50,000 cash prize.
Footballer Ronnie Vint is the bookies’ favourite for male winner of the show, joint with Ciaran Davies.
According to the Online Betting Guide, there is a 22.2 per cent probability that he will be part of the winning couple.
Reacting to the news that the footballer would be appearing on the show, Lewes FC said: “It’s happening again… Good luck, Ronnie.”
