Love Island Signs Up Hunky North London ‘Cheeky Chappy’ with Body Overhaul

Love Island has reportedly signed up a hunky north London lad who will be the ‘cheeky chappy’ of the new series which starts next week.

Tommy Bradley will be entering the villa ready to shake things up with the ladies, according to a new report.

And he looks to have undergone a body overhaul for the show where the contestants spend far more time parading around in their swimwear than fully clothed.

A source told The Sun: ‘Tommy seems to tick all the Love Island boxes as the cheeky chappy of this summer’s series.

‘He looks to enjoy a night out with the lads and out on the boxing scene with his brother.

‘But he’s also packed on serious muscle over the last year ready for telly’s famous villa and is no longer just a personality hire. Execs are finalising who will be in the OG line-up and who will be a bombshell.’

Tommy has documented his gym routine on his Instagram page and has been working out with his boxer brother Jamie.

ITV has been contacted by MailOnline for comment.

Love Island bosses have also reportedly lined up a glamorous model to star in the ITV show, but viewers will have to wait and see if she’ll be an OG cast mate or a bombshell.

Shakira Khan, 22, from Manchester is the second female revealed for the upcoming season, which begins next week. 

The stunner’s Instagram page is filled with picturesque travel snaps from Haiti, Dubai and New York – and she’s not afraid of modelling a bikini.

The model will join Liverpudlian makeup artist, Lucy Quinn, 20, after MailOnline revealed ITV had signed her for the new series. 

Host Maya Jama, 30, recently starred in a brand-new trailer to tease the series that marks a decade since the show was first broadcast demanding ‘bigger and bolder ideas’ from a boardroom of executives.

She says: ‘This year I want more drama, more bombshells, more break-ups, more make-ups, I want more twists, I want more twists than ever.’

As well as the summer instalment, Love Island is celebrating 10 years on screen with an anniversary special where Islanders from the past will return to share their experiences having appeared in the famous villa.

Scouse makeup artist Lucy, who regularly shares photos of her beautified clients on Instagram, is set to join the new Love Island cast this summer alongside 6ft5 personal trainer Aaron Buckett.

A TV source told MailOnline: ‘Lucy is single and ready to mingle. She can’t wait to enter the Love Island villa and is counting down the days until it becomes a reality.

‘She’s fiery and doesn’t take any nonsense when it comes to dating but is equally looking for the man of her dreams, hopefully all will come true for her this summer.’

Fitness fan Aaron is also confirmed for the upcoming series and as a 6ft5 personal trainer, he has a lot to offer potential daters.

A TV insider told The Sun: ‘Love Island execs are still finalising whether he’ll be in the opening line-up or as a tempting bombshell.’

ITV will be revealing the full cast of singletons next week ahead of the show’s launch with more twists than ever promised for series 12. 

Love Island: All Stars ended in February with Scouser Gabby Allen winning the title and £50,000 prize pot alongside Casey O’Gorman, who she has since split from.

The couple called time on their romance two weeks ago while runners-up Grace Jackson and Luca Bish remain in a relationship. 

Gabby is confirmed to appear on the Love Island anniversary special as she reflects on her appearances both in 2017 and this year. 

Love Island: A Decade of Love will also feature chats from series two winners Cara De La Hoyde and her husband Nathan Massey as well as former champions Millie Court and Liam Reardon, who also still remain together.
