Leanne Amaning wants Ovie Soko to slide into her DMs

Leanne Amaning has appealed to Ovie Soko to "slide into [her] DMs".
The former ‘Love Island’ star, who was eliminated from the ITV2 dating show last month, would love to hook up with the basketball player – who appeared on the programme last year – and she has made a public request to the hunk.
Speaking on spin-off show ‘Love Island: Aftersun’, she said: "Valentine’s Day is coming up, so Ovie [Soko], if you’re watching, slide into them DMs."
Leanne was coupled up with Mike Boateng on the show initially before ditching him, and he later paired up with Sophie Piper in a friendship couple, which sent Leanne home.
And the 22-year-old customer service advisor has questioned whether Mike is "genuine" with Jess Gale, who he has since grown close to.
Leanne added: "I think he’s very desperate, but I wouldn’t be mad if one of my friends got with him.
"[Watching Mike and Jess] is so awkward, I can’t cope. We both agreed we’d move on.
"I wasn’t surprised really, but I was only surprised by what he was saying to her as he was saying the same things. It made me question whether things were genuine. They had a connection so it made sense for them to pick up where they left off."
Moments before the recoupling which led to Leanne being kicked out of the villa last week, she called it quits with the 24-year-old police officer as she got the "ick" and didn’t want to be romantic with him.
Although she wasn’t surprised Mike dumped her from the villa, the beauty did think it was a "bold move" to pick Sophie.
She added: "I was 100 per cent expecting it. I just knew I was going home.
"Me and Mike, we didn’t work. I feel he’s justified in what he did by picking Sophie. That’s a big thing to do – it’s a bold move to make."
