Who is Love Island's Brad McClelland?

Hunky Brad is a 25-year-old labourer from Northumberland.

Brad told ITV: "I want to date face-to-face, I like meeting people.

"I’m easy going, laid back. Who wouldn’t want to be in a nice villa in a hot country for a while?"

He added: "I try and make as much money as I can by doing as little as possible."

Fans have been loving his blue eyes and strong Northumberland accent.

Brad was coupled up with 26-year-old estate agent Faye Winter from Devon.

In the show's first coupling, Brad stole Faye off semi-professional footballer Toby Aromolaran.

However, he was later coupled up with Rachel Finnis, which saw Chuggs Wallis.

Yet, there was more drama as another newbie – Lucinda Strafford – stole his heart.

And in more twists, Brad was kicked out of the villa in cruel dumping where the pair had to choose who would leave.
