What do Brad McClelland's friends say about him? 

It seems that sitting by the pool on Love Island might suit Brad down to the ground because he admits he likes to get away with doing very little... "I try and make as much money as I can by doing as little as possible. My friends would probably say – not lazy, as I’m energetic – that I just try to get away with doing literally nothing."

What is Brad McClelland looking for in a partner on Love Island?

When it comes to the type of women Brad usually goes for, he has narrowed it down to three of his ideal matches... "I like Sommer Ray from Instagram. Zara McDermott, she’s a good-looking lass. Or Megan Fox."

Love Island starts at 9pm on Monday 28 June on ITV2 and ITV Hub. Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox.
