New Love Islander Tommy reveals he’s got a famous sportsman brother and celebrity connection to Anthony Joshua
NEW Love Island “cheeky chap” Tommy Bradley has revealed his famous sports star sibling – as well as an impressive link to boxing champ Anthony Joshua.
The Sun was first to reveal how the north London lad had signed up for the ITV2 matchmaking series over the weekend, with the full cast list now also made public.
Tommy has undergone an impressive body transformation for his time in the villa, joining forces with his boxer brother, Jamie Bradley, who often features on his Instagram page.
The lands cape gardener, 22, has now revealed the true extent of his celebrity connections.
In his Love Island pre-villa interview, the Hertfordshire lad was asked about his claim to fame.
He said: “My brother Jamie is a professional boxer.
“He used to train with Anthony Joshua.”
Jamie made his boxing debut at London‘s iconic York Hall in September 2024.
The super lightweight then won a bout in the same venue back in March.
Meanwhile, love hopeful Tommy also told how his secret skill was playing the guitar, and knowing the lyrics to every Oasis track.
A source previously said of his villa sign-up: “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.”
STAR STUDDED BUNCH
Tommy’s new Love Island co-star, Dejon Noel-Williams, is also no stranger to a celebrity connection.
The footballer and PT, 26, is one of the first three faces revealed in official ITV2 images confirming the line-up in full.
