CHRIS Eubank Jr has revealed he was asked to do Love Island but turned it down – for now.
The 29-year-old appeared on Good Morning Britain today with his famous dad ahead of their appearance on Celebrity Gogglebox.
Chris is certainly flashy enough for the show, which boasts Instagram Influencer Molly-May, boxer Tommy Fury and stunning model Lucie Donlan as islanders.
And when Piers Morgan asked him his thoughts about the ITV2 series and if he’d been asked to take part, Chris said: “I don’t think it’s for love. It’s for exposure. I’ve already had that.
“But I have been asked would I go in the villa and I’ve always said no. Maybe when I’m retired.”
The British professional boxer has held the IBO super-middleweight title since February 2019.
He sent social media into meltdown over his entrance on This Morning earlier this year when he drove into the studio in his £210,000 McLaren.
Viewers couldn’t believe what they were watching as Next Gen – accompanied by his legendary boxing father – cruised into the TV show in his bright orange motor.
The 29-year-old appeared on the daytime programme ahead of his dust-up against British rival James DeGale.
Eubank Jr was slammed online over his entrance, with some labelling him as a “show off” while another stated the incident was “cringe.”
One said: “Eubank Jr driving his car into the #ThisMorning studio. What a f***ing w*****.”
Another commented: “Got a car worth a couple of hundred bags and thinks he’s gods gift. I’d be embarrassed.”
One added: “I see humble isn’t a word in the Eubank household.”
Speaking on This Morning, Eubank Jr said: “Cars and the hype and trash talk and all the rest of it – I don’t let it get to me.

“The car and the lifestyle – that’s just me, that’s just my personality. I enjoy things. You only live once.”
While Chris Eubnak Sr said of his son: “He’s got the speed and the youth, the drive.
“I’ve always been about that flamboyant stuff but that’s showbusiness.”
