Big Brother UK’s Zak revealed that he was approached by ITV bosses for doing Love Island before being on the ultimate social experiment.

Zak was the second contestant evicted from the house last week. The 28-year-old model was shocked to have been evicted from the house as he expected to be in there for longer. However, the BB UK viewers decided to keep Henry in the house for Jordan - who appears to be into Matty.

Since Zak has a girlfriend, they could never get him to be on the dating reality show. Zak confirmed:

They ask me every single year, they’ve been trying to get me on for so many years.
But I’ve said I got a Mrs and I love her, so that’s out of the question for now.
