Love Island All Stars will bring back a number of familiar faces to the villa, including Series 12 star Tommy Bradley
Love Island star Tommy Bradley is amongst the 12 celebrity contestants lined up for the forthcoming All Stars series, which reunites Islanders from the past decade.
Despite only stepping into the reality TV spotlight during last year’s summer edition, Tommy struggled to secure enduring romance. He kicked off the series besotted with Megan Forte Clarke, but was left devastated when the Irish stunner chose to call time on their relationship and pursue things with Conor Phillips.
He enjoyed a fleeting romance with Emily Moran which concluded in dramatic fashion when he recoupled with makeup artist Lucy Quinn during the Casa Amor twist. Whilst he and Lucy departed the villa as a couple, their bond rapidly deteriorated, with Tommy confessing he shared a snog with another woman at his first post-show event, reports OK!
Before his forthcoming All Stars appearance, Tommy revealed he’d recently been messaging a former Love Island champion – unaware that she’s also signed up for the spin-off programme.
“I’ve never met her but we were DM-ing each other a bit. It was Jess Harding,” he revealed in a chat with the Daily Star’s Screen Time team. “I haven’t spoken to her for like a month or so, but in November there were flirty DMs and stuff.”
He added: “Nothing really came of it, it sort of fizzled out so it would be interesting if she was in there. My type physically, usually, is small tan brunette. That’s what I tend to lean towards on a night out.”
Jess triumphed in Series 10 alongside Sammy Root in 2023, but their romance fizzled out just months afterwards. Sammy later featured on last year’s All Stars edition where he coupled up with now former flame Elma Pazar, whilst Jess moved forward with another partner. However, her most recent romance came to an end six months ago.
Speaking about her expectations for round two, Jess revealed she was “open to different types of men, different personalities, different looks” as she searches for something more permanent.
Meanwhile, Tommy also voiced his desire to see his previous Love Island connection Emily Moran make a return. He revealed: “I’ve got a couple of people in mind [who I’d like to see walk in]. From my series, I think me and Emily always got on really well, and I was gutted it ended the way it did. I had no idea she was going to be dumped from the villa, so it would be nice.”
Love Island All Stars returns to ITV2 and ITVX at 9pm on January 12. For the latest showbiz, TV, movie and streaming news, go to the new ** Everything Gossip ** website
