His name appears across the bottom of the screen in the same Love Island font, as the show uses for their real bombshells. The viral clip caught the attention of Love Island host, Maya, who voiced her opinion.

The Bristol-native reposted the video to her own account and replied saying: "My family are Rovers but I support anything Bristolian so I’m here for this."
