After choosing to compete in their first bodybuilding competition, a Love Island alum decided to change their appearance and placed second overall.
A former Love Island star has revealed his dramatic transformation years after competing on the ITV series. Alex Bowen, 34, flexed his chiselled abs as he took part in his first bodybuilding competition over the weekend.
Alex, who appeared in the second season of the dating show in 2016, entered the PCA Physical Culture First Timers competition. In a pair of modest pink shorts, he performed a number of poses.
He revealed on Instagram that he finished in second place in the contest. Sharing his achievement, he told his followers: “I DONE IT,” he gushed. “2nd place in a stacked class. Now food and beer!”

He recorded himself performing various poses throughout the competition on video. His wife, Olivia, was one of those who shared their joy.
She wrote, “So proud of you made every minute worth it,” in the comments section. Additionally, she included four heart-shaped red emojis. One user thanked her for making her apologies for saying, “You must have had to accept a little less help with a newborn, you’ve smashed this as wife and mother, and let your man shine.” It’s time for you right away.
Olivia and Alex have been an item since meeting in the Love Island villa almost 10 years ago. They have since tied the knot and in August they welcomed their second child together.
Last month, the 31-year-old revealed the sweet news on social media. Abel, their three-year-old son, and Olivia shared a number of adorable photos online. She also revealed the adorable name of their daughter to her followers.
She wrote, “We are all bursting with love, and our beautiful girl Siena is here, and I can’t even find the words.” Every second was worth it a thousand times, according to the saying. My babies are my love.
Olivia was initially expecting twins but earlier this year, the expectant star revealed she had experienced Vanishing Twin Syndrome (VTS). The condition sees one embryo lost in early pregnancy, leaving a single developing foetus.
Prior to her newest baby’s arrival, Olivia said she’d felt the ‘most complicated batch of emotions’ she’d ever known during the pregnancy. “I felt like that darkness was taking over and pulling me down with both paws,” she wrote on Instagram.
“I experienced it intermittently throughout my motherhood and again after giving birth. The hormones are the source of the entire expectation, change, and world experiences that are different from those you have encountered throughout your entire life.
“Then, as I grieved one of our precious babies to Vanishing Twin Syndrome, and went through the most difficult set of emotions I’ve ever experienced,” I said.
Olivia looked at her nearly finished nursery before Siena’s birth. She claimed that the emotions were conflicting.
