Brad McClelland may have only just been dumped from the Love Island villa but he’s already considering a return to the show via Casa Amor to win back Lucinda Strafford.
The 26-year-old Northumberland lad was brutally dumped from the hit ITV2 reality romance show last week where he was forced to sacrifice his own place on the show to let 21-year-old Lucinda stay.
After Brad and Lucinda were voted the least compatible couple by viewers, they had to decide between themselves which of them would be removed from the villa for good – with Brad doing the gentlemanly thing and sacrificing himself.
But now Brad has teased that he might return to the show via Casa Amor – a second villa filled with stunning singletons who compete to steal positions inside the main villa.

The blue-eyed labourer let slip he would be up for a return to the show during a Q and A session with fans via Instagram Stories.
Brad revealed he had not strictly been asked to return to the show – but hinted that producers of the series could yet get in touch.
Asked by a fan if he would be heading to Casa Amor, Brad began: “Not that I know of. But it’s Love Island, so who know’s eh?”

The makers of Love Island confirmed last night that Casa Amor would return for the current series of the show – to bring extra drama to the island.
And show host Laura Whitmore teased that the explosive second villa would be throwing it’s doors open ‘soon’ during an Instagram Q&A of her own.
The TV presenter was asked: “Are you going back over to the villa soon? And when does Casa Amor start?”

She replied: “Oh, I get asked this a lot. First question, yes, second part, soon. What else can I tell ya?”
Fans of Love Island have been looking forward to the Casa Amor twist more than previous seasons as they are desperate for some romance – and drama – to take place on the show.
Viewers have blasted the 2021 contestants for failing to take the dating element of the series seriously enough – with one viewer complaining on Twitter that there was no “love”, and “just Islanding” – and hopes that Casa Amor may finally spice up the series.
Meanwhile, Brad has been watching Love Island – and been forced to watch his beloved Lucinda move on without him as she coupled up with new arrival Danny Bibby.
Asked during his fan Q&A if he will wait for Lucinda, Brad replied: “For me, I’m actually not sure what’s happening.
“But regardless, I’ll still obviously see Lucinda when she get’s out. She was part of me journey in there, so even if it’s just as friends, I’ll still get to see her.”

He was also asked if he was moving on with dating himself now he has been dumped from the villa and is back on British soil.
But Brad replied: “I’m not, no. I think it’s a little bit early, after coming out the villa. Just kinda need time to settle and get used to what’s happening.”
Love Island continues tonight on ITV2 and via the ITV Hub at 9pm
