He immediately connected with Anna who had been coupled up with Jordan at the time.
However, she chose to dump Jordan and re-couple with Ovie instead.
Soon after arriving back to the villa, she realised she missed Jordan and so they re-coupled again.
Ovie's single status didn't last long as new girl India swept him off his feet.
The pair hit it off and even made it all the way to the final coming in third place.
