But he looks to be more than villa-ready - and will head straight to the garden gym.

Viewers can look forward to filling in Kyle's blank pages as we learn more about him.
Bombshells
IF the gorgeous gaggle of guys and girls above isn't enough, then a troop of bombshells are ready to explode into the villa once the show is underway.
The Sun revealed last week that 6'5' Aaron Buckett was lined-up and can now share the update that he will appear later in the series to tempt the girls away from their partners.
The PT is such a hunk, execs have decided to hold him back until the early couplings look secure - then deploy him at the perfect time to lure a lass away and create maximum drama.
Elsewhere, two beauties have been named as in the mix for later on.
They are make-up artist Lucy Quinn, a 20-year-old from Liverpool.
A source told Mail Online: 'Lucy is single and ready to mingle. She can't wait to enter the Love Island villa and is counting down the days until it becomes a reality.'
Then there is beauty salon owner Rose Selway, who counts Islanders including Lucinda Strafford and Jessy Potts among her clientele.
A source told MailOnline: "Rose is friends with many former stars of the show so has a good idea what it's like being in the villa and now she finally has the chance to experience it herself."
The trio will join the throng of Islanders poised and ready to land in the villa throughout the series run.
An ITV spokesman said: 'As always there is a lot of speculation around the Love Island line up - we will be announcing the Love Island 2025 cast in due course.'
