Brad McClelland: Who is Love Island 2021 contestant?

ITV

Love Island is back on our screens for a brand new series.

The ITV2 show has welcomed a load of new contestants to the Spanish villa in Mallorca.

One such singleton is Brad McClelland, a 26-year-old labourer from Northumberland.

Speaking about is decision to join the show, Brad said: “I want to date face-to-face, I like meeting people. Who wouldn’t want to be in a nice villa in a hot country for a while?”

Brad described himself as “easygoing” and “laidback”, and said that his colleagues would say he “[tries to] make as much money as I can by doing as little as possible”.

Brad, who lives with his nan and claims to have never been on a date, enjoys going to the gym and is a coffee drinker. He is currently one of the favourites to win.
