Love Island’s bosses had eyes on Ball

LOVE Island hunk Steve Ball didn’t apply for the hit show and was approached by producers just 14 days ago, it has been claimed.

In the latest “fix” row to hit the series, the tattoed heart-throb was allegedly targeted while on a holiday with friends.

It seems it isn’t the first time show bosses tried to hire him as pals say he was approached last year but declined because he was in a relationship.

One mate told how the plumber was on his 25th birthday trip in Magaluf when casting agents asked him if he wanted to go on the show.

Fans have been left shocked as bosses make it clear that the ITV show takes applicants who are looking for true love.
