Holly Willoughby swoons over ‘gorgeous’ Love Island star Brad McClelland

It’s no secret that Holly Willoughby is a huge Love Island fan, and it seems she’s already got her eye on one guy.

The 40-year-old star was discussing the first episode of the new series on This Morning, when the conversation turned to Brad McClelland.

Holly and her co-host Phillip Schofield invited former Love Island winner Amber Rose Gill onto the show to talk about the start of the 2021 series.

Sharing a clip of Brad talking, Phillip commented on his accent saying: "He’s got quite a thick accent hasn’t he?"

After watching the video, Holly said: "Great accent, it did take me a couple of seconds, because he sort of talks... he doesn't stop between sentences either so it's quite hard to kind of work out what he's saying."

The mum-of-three, who is married to Dan Baldwin, then cheekily added: "Gorgeous though!" as Amber agreed with her, saying: "So beautiful."

"Well, we'll see what happens with him! He seems like quite a nice boy as well, he does seem like a sweetheart," Holly then said.

Her and Amber predicted that they think Islander Faye Winter is going to bring the drama to the Spanish villa this year, as Amber described her as "a troublemaker".

Brad and Faye are one of this year's first couples after he strolled into the villa as the last male and chose Faye as his partner - despite her already being coupled up.

However, as the first episode got underway it seemed that the pair hadn't actually clicked and things appeared awkward between them as they went for a chat by the fire pit.

Faye later left Love Island viewers "screaming" after making a very crude remark during her introduction VT at the beginning of the show.

Faye ended up gasping over her words, insisting she had not meant them sexually - sparking confusion from those tuning in.

She said she was looking for a man who could "rip her a new a******e", before shouting: "Not like that, oh my God!"

But viewers were baffled as to what she meant as she protested she had not meant it sexually, while she did not explain herself.

Taking to Twitter, viewers were in hysterics and confessed she was one of their favourite islanders already.

Others were left asking for Faye's definition of the phrase though, not sure she could have meant it any other way than it sounded.

This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV.
