Love Island bosses have signed up ‘Butler in the Buff’ Blade Siddiqi for Casa Amor, MailOnline can reveal.
The fitness model, 29, from Stevenage, is hoping to find the woman of his dreams in the villa after struggling to connect with a long-term partner over the years due to his stripping profession.
Blade surprised Kelly Brook, 44, wearing just a bowtie and apron on Heart Radio in celebration of her birthday last year, with the presenter calling him an ‘absolute specimen of a man.’
He’s also made numerous TV appearances with party group Buff Boyz Naked Butlers, of which he is a member, entertaining women up and down the country by baring his muscular body.
But now he’ll be hoping to lure the female Islanders away from their partners in Casa Amor as he joins the likes of Emma Milton, reported to be an ex-flame of footballer Jack Grealish, as part of the lineup of fresh singletons arriving in Mallorca.

A TV source told MailOnline: ‘Blade has been trying to find a serious partner for years, he’s in his late 20s and really hopes Love Island will mark a turning point in his romantic life.
‘Casa Amor is a lot of fun and he’s the best person for the challenge, he’s tall, muscular, and more than used to flirting with women because it’s a huge part of his day job.
‘While he’s proud of being a Butler in the Buff, he hopes potential girlfriends will still take him seriously and his profession won’t be off-putting.’
Blade previously admitted his line of work has prevented him from meeting a long-term partner.
He said: ‘Doing this job means I’ve had to put serious relationships on the side, as it can be really complicated as I’m surrounded by women and I’m also always busy working on the weekend.’
In 2022, Blade explained how stripping off for a living was not only a dream job, but it also earns him a good income and being naked has become second nature to him.
He said: ‘This really is the best job in the world. We’re always in this fun and flirty environment.
‘It pays well, and I work really hard on my body, so getting compliments is also an added bonus. I have been doing this for so long now that I don’t even really realise that I am naked and my bums on show. But it’s all just a bit of fun.’
Heart Radio presenter Kelly Brook couldn’t believe her eyes as she was surprised by Blade on her birthday in November last year
