Auf Twitter, einer sagte: “EIN love island Kandidat?- yes of course, there is a Love Island contestant. warum nicht?
“Just to let you know my mum is still available if you need contestants – Sie ist 89 and knows nothing about sport.”
Ein anderer schrieb: “I don’t wanna see someone from Love Island on A Question of Sport, bring back the pole vaulters, hockey and badminton players (and I don’t care how old that makes me sound).”

A third penned: “Question of Sports Christmas special and there’s a dancer and someone from Love Island on it, jeez when did it stoop so low!!”
Introducing the 30-year-old, Gastgeber Paddy McGuinness sagte: “Joining Ugo is an England goalkeeper with over 550 appearances in the Premier League and a Love Island star who’s swapped the beach hut for Becher’s Brook.”
Er machte weiter: “Chris, Love Island is what everyone knows you from. But I can’t believe this real juxtaposition, because now you’re like a racing presenter for horse racing, and cricket as well! How did that come around?”
Chris answered: “The first racehorse I ever sat on was Earth Summit.

“So when I was 12 Jahre alt, a little kid, Earth Summit was a horse that won the 1998 Grand National, a proper legend.
“That was the first horse I sat on, so for me it’s like, I was surrounded by superstars.”
“It doesn’t go together with Love Island, macht es?” Paddy joked.
“Nein, there are not many horses in the Love Island villa,” the reality star responded.
“A few show ponies, obwohl,” Ugo quipped as Chris agreed: “A few show ponies, Ja!”
Ugo’s team ended up winning the round on Thursday’s episode.
The team were gifted a model snowman which they lifted in victory.
