JOE Garrat can definitely pretend he’s back in the Love Island villa this summer with his impressive swimming pool that features in his garden.
The reality star, 23, is just one of many of our favourite celebs who have the luxury of taking a dip in the comfort of their own home.
Back In April HOAR Online exclusively revealed that the hunk broke lockdown rules by driving back to his South East London home from Scotland.
He had spent three weeks with co-star Anton Danyluk at his family home ‘The Ranch’ before breaking cover.
But now the sandwich maker has set up camp in his family home in London – which boasts an array of impressive things – including a golf buggy, a lavish dressing room and a swimming pool.
Joe has kept his fans up to date with what he’s been up to over the past few months on his Instagram page and has given an insight into what his gorgeous pad looks like.
His dressing room features a grey textured foot stall, rack of designer shoes and a fluffy cream carpet.
Joe’s bedroom boasts a huge double bed fit for a reality king.
But outside is the most impressive feature in his pad, with a huge space of greenery and a swimming pool to splash around in.
Last month Joe looked unrecognisable in a video montage of his incredible transformation from teenager to TV hunk.
He joked to his followers that he had his own version of a ‘glow up’ or rather, a ‘Joe Up’.
Posting the short video to his official Instagram account, the video shows the sandwich man changing from a young teenager with a round face and short hair, to the chiselled abs, curly-haired hunk we now know.
Joe captioned the video: “You could say I had a ‘Joe Up’
”
His fans were suitably impressed with Joe’s self-proclaimed glow up and flocked to praise the reality star in the comments.
One wrote: “Omg this is crazy!! You look so different”
While fellow Love Island star Joanna Chimonides, wrote: “Yaaaasss
”
And winter Love Island star Eve Gale gushed: “Ayyyyy
”, to which Joe replied: “@evegale appreciate it
”
It’s not the first time Joe has shared his impressive transformation with his fans and followers.
Last summer he revealed some snaps of his childhood and admitted he had got used to being “friend zoned” at school because of his “chubbier” appearance.
Speaking about his school days, Joe revealed he wasn’t quite the hit with the ladies he is now.
He dished: “I’ve only had one girlfriend – that was when I was 19 to about 21. I didn’t have any relationships before that I was a slightly chubbier child. I was the friend.”
Joe said he gained weight after a rugby injury made it difficult to exercise – and his diet didn’t help matters.
He said: “In my school days, I didn’t worry about looking good or anything like that, but then I got a bit older. I injured my knee in rugby and had surgery and pushed it a bit far and gained a bit of weight.
“Then I realised, actually I’m unfit and it’s time to be healthy, so started eating lots more fruit and veg and it started falling off. I went from Friend Zone Joe to suddenly, ‘who are you?’”
Joe first rose to fame in the fifth series of Love Island last year and fell for surfer babe Lucie Donlan.
The pair had a rocky ride in the villa and tried making a go of it on the outside world, but sadly split for a second time and for good in December 2019.
