Hero of the week: Lee Ottway

I know what you are thinking: Why him? Or perhaps you are thinking: Who is
Lee Ottway?


To answer the second question first, he's the young blond lad on Love Island, the ITV reality show where semi-famous people with a lot of time on their hands allegedly spend time trying to get together with each other.

Now, I don't watch this programme as a rule. In fact, the only one I have seen was last night. But from what I can gather, scrawny Lee - who I do remember from playing a slightly dim lad in Hollyoaks - has had a bit of a crush on one of the girls.

Now, he apparently got very upset when the girl he liked was told by brickhouse basketball player Dennis Rodman what he'd like to do to her.

So he went up and told Dennis that wasn't a very nice thing to do. Either he was stupid for doing so and didn't realise he could have got a beating, or did realise but still did it anyway. Which makes him either stupid or honourable.

I'm going to plump for the latter. While it may not have been the most chivalrous act around (Quote: Saying it in front of the lads is Ok but...) it shows there is still hope yet.

PS: Hot tip: Now Dennis has left the Love Islands, expect a musical debut soon. After all, with so many piercings, it's only a matter of time before he's marketed as the world's first human flute.
