This Morning's Holly Willoughby swoons over ‘gorgeous’ Love Island star Brad McClelland

Love Island star Brad McClelland has already caught the eye of a few girls in the villa.

But he is also turning heads back home after This Morning presenter Holly Willoughby admitted she's a fan of the Northumberland lad.

The Mirror reports the conversation turned to labourer Brad as Holly discussed the first episode of the ITV show with co-host Phillip Schofield and former Love Island winner Amber Gill.

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."

She then 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.

The show returned for a new series on Monday night, with an average of three million people tuning in, giving ITV2 its biggest audience of the year so far.

The debut outing on Monday night saw five boys and five girls enter the villa and couple up, before they were told about the last-minute addition.

The group then received a voice note from Chloe, inviting the boys to join her on a date, before she chooses someone to couple up with, leaving another girl single.

In Tuesday's episode the boys decide that they will all go to meet Chloe together.

Afterwards, they return to the villa with the new arrival, where she meets the girls for the first time before receiving a text telling her she will couple up with a boy in 24 hours' time, leaving one of the other girls single.

Love Island continues at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub.
