Anthony Ogogo’s main career is boxing. He has competed in various competitions and won a silver medal at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, and a bronze at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. But he has also fashioned a nifty side-career appearing on a range of reality TV shows. These include Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack in 2008, ITV’s diving show Splash! in 2013, and a stint on Strictly Come Dancing in 2015. He was eliminated in the third week of the competition.
Islands full of beautiful people fighting over scraps won’t be much of a shock for Montana Brown, who made her name on the 2017 series of Love Island. The 22-year-old, from Hertfordshire, failed to find love in her first few weeks on the ITV2 reality show, but that all changed once she met the hunky Alex Beattie. Their romance wasn’t to last beyond the cameras, however, with the couple splitting just days after leaving the villa.
