Love Island's Brad McClelland looks totally different with bleached hair and glasses

Love Island star Brad Mcclelland has shared an epic throwback showing him with bleached blond hair and hipster-style glasses.

The 26-year-old labourer from Northumberland came into the villa all tall, dark and handsome, but there was a time when he looked very different.

After leaving the villa, Brad shared a candid throwback of himself with Justin Bieber-style hair and huge rectangular glasses, sporting a cheesy wide grin.

Sharing it on his Instagram story, Brad added a poll writing: "Do you think he would’ve done damage in Casa?"

The heartthrob sacrificed his stay at the villa a few weeks ago in a brutal twist in which he and his partner Lucinda were forced to choose which one of them would stay in the villa.

Brad chose to leave, and Lucinda stayed and cracked on with his mate Aaron Francis.

However, the new romance didn't last long as Aaron and Lucinda were dumped just days after they coupled up.

It later emerged the pair split shortly after returning to the UK from Majorca.

Brad has since revealed he’s spoken to Lucinda but can't meet up with her as she's still quarantining.

During this week’s episode of heat's Under The Duvet with VOXI, Brad was joined by his co-star Sharon Gaffka for an interview with fellow former islander Chris Taylor and KISS Breakfast’s host Harriet Rose.

When asked about Lucinda’s antics on the show and whether he’s spoken to her or Aaron, Brad confirmed he’s been in contact with them both.

“I have spoken [to her], aye, and it’s none of your business. She’s in the five day lockdown,” he admitted. “I’ve spoken to Aaron too.”

Harriet then asked him if he has heard the rumours of her rekindling her relationship with her footballer ex-boyfriend Aaron Connelly before going onto the show.

Brad replied: "I think that’s a load of s**t to be fair, I don’t know the gospel on it but from what I’ve heard, that’s not true."

Chiming to her defence he added: "She spoke about him to be in there and she said ex to me. You know what, people are going to say things and any opportunity they’ve got they’re going to stir it up."

Brad has been keeping busy since leaving Love Island appearing on various podcasts and talk shows., and even received his second Pfizer COVID-19 jab last Wednesday.
