The 31-year-old hunk - who competed on the ITV2 show in 2016 - is working on new dating show \'Parties in Paradise\', which will see sexy singletons travel the world on a lavish yacht.

"It\'s filming in October and November and the idea is that sexy single people cruise around on a yacht and fall in love.

"The boat will go between islands and they\'re looking for people who aren\'t famous - they want normal people who\'ll win the public\'s hearts, just like on \'Love Island\'.

"They haven\'t confirmed a presenter or when it\'s due to air, but it\'ll be going head to head with \'Love Island\' when it\'s on."
