Tommy Bradley, the 22-year-old Love Island: All Stars contestant, has admitted to a secret romantic history with fellow All Stars cast member Jess Harding. The landscape gardener revealed that he exchanged flirty messages with the 2023 series winner last year, but their potential romance fizzled out before they could meet in person.
Speaking ahead of the new series, Tommy said: 'I was messaging quite flirty DMs with Jess Harding. I never met Jess but we DM'd quite a lot. We were trying to meet up, but it fizzed out and nothing happened. It could be interesting if she's in there.' Jess Harding, who won the 2023 series with ex-boyfriend Sammy Root, is among the contestants returning for the All Stars spin-off.
Tommy also expressed interest in rekindling his connection with Emily Moran, his former partner from his original series. The pair were coupled up for two weeks before Casa Amor, after which Tommy returned with Lucy Quinn and Emily was dumped. 'Me and Emily did get on really well. I was gutted the way things ended. I've bumped into her a couple of times on nights out since and we do still get on pretty well. It would be nice to see her in there and maybe explore that a little bit more,' he said.
Additionally, Tommy mentioned that series nine star Samie Elishi is 'quite fit' and he would 'definitely speak to her' if she entered the villa. The 22-year-old said he is hoping to settle down this time, as all his friends are in relationships and he feels like he is 'just tagging along' on nights out.
Love Island: All Stars begins on Monday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
