The Scottish hunk, 28, appeared live from Brighton with Andi for the TV presenter's competition segment and gave viewers advice on what to do if they win the show's £80,000 prize.

The financial advisor-turned-reality star said: "Invest it in stocks and shares. You could pay off your mortgage, but you could make ten times more by investing it right."

He also opened up about his co-star Paige, who turned him down in the villa, and said: "She's a lovely girl."

Andi then asked Jay: "Would she be interested in Ed Balls?"

To which Ed suggested Paige would consider him like a dad rather than a boyfriend.

The dad-of-three replied from the studio: "I think she'd be interested in me giving her a lift home at the end of the night!"

The Good Morning Britain host revealed he's a fan of Love Island and has been watching the ITV2 show with his kids.

He waded into the row with Gemma Owen and Luca Bish last night, defending Michael Owen's daughter against Luca's claims she flirted with Billy Brown.

Ed, 55, and his co-host Ranvir Singh discussed last night's antics with Richard Arnold in the studio.

Former politician Ed said about Gemma, 19: "I thought in like the first week or so, Michael Owen's daughter Gemma had a bad start but actually she's done really well.

"But Luca, it was disastrous, what are you doing?!

"They are on a show called Love Island, they are supposed to flirt with each other."

Ranvir confessed she hadn't been keeping up with the drama, so Ed filled her in.

He explained: "Luca and Gemma have been getting on really well, but they were separated in different villas… Gemma, as far as I can see, had a mild conversation with Billy, and Luca last night was like, 'well you know I'm betrayed, no bird treats me like that', it was just awful, it was not good."

He continued: "Truth is, I think the girls are doing really well and the boys are pretty disastrous in this show."
