LOVE Island winner Kem Cetinay has revealed a big new US role that he got alongside a fellow show legend.
While on Capital Late Show with Maura Higgins, he opened up about the job that put him on screen across the Atlantic for the first time since starting his career as a presenter.
The Essex lad revealed that he recently co-hosted a challenge with Maura on spin off show Love Island Games.
When talking about her time on the reality show, she teased: "But Kem you were there weren't you?"
The 26-year-old felt obliged to share his secret after the Irish firecracker let the cat out of the bag.
He hesitated: "Yeah well.. look.. I didn't wanna say anything I was gonna leave it till later. But me and Maura have got a little bit of an announcement.

Kem continued nervously: "Do you want to tell them? I want you to tell them!"
"Well," Maura grinned, "I was lucky enough to have Kem fly over and co-host one of the challenges with me, we had a lot of fun."
The Love Island winner went on to open up about what it felt like to be on the show as a presenter instead of as a contestant, joking that it was stressful trying to look sexy next to Maura.
He shared: "We had such a good time. I was so nervous flying to Fiji on my own. And yeah... we hosted a challenge together. It was called 'She's a Catch'. And we had a great time.

"It was so strange going in this time like I was doing the slow-mo walk with you and everything... it was a bit weird because you was doing the whole sexy Maura walking and I was walking next to you and thinking, 'what do I do now in this slow-mo walk? Do I just smile? Do I try and act sexy... I don't even know if I can act sexy'.
"But no it was really good. It was just weird going in as not an islander."
