Message! Love Island star Ovie Soko has become the latest Islander to land a presenting gig following his departure from the villa.

The professional basketball player will be joining Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes later this week on This Morning to present his very own segment (via The Mirror).

Now, you might assume the ITV series has tapped him to answer viewer questions because of his "MESSAGE!" catchphrase on Love Island, but that's not actually the case at all.

Ovie is actually going to have his own cooking segment on Thursday's show, thanks to his talent for whipping up eggs in the Love Island villa.

"Cooking on This Morning is going to be dope, but I’ll need to graft hard if my infamous eggs are to live up to the hype for Love Island fans, Eamonn and Ruth," he joked. "They’re daytime royalty after all."

This Morning is putting Ovie in charge of the brunch menu, and we're sure he won't let down Eamonn and Ruth. He also isn't the only Islander joining the ITV morning show.
