ITV has revealed that Tommy Bradley’s revelation is scheduled to broadcast on Love Island this evening. Viewers can expect highly charged scenes during Monday night’s episode (January 26). The broadcaster’s spin-off programme brings back former Islanders for another shot at discovering romance with their ideal match.
A dozen previous contestants from the past 10 years of the flagship series have flown out to South Africa. The cast has already been bolstered by several bombshells who haven’t hesitated to cause chaos.
There’s even been an unexpected double elimination that witnessed one Islander dump their own partner for the first time in the programme’s history. The mayhem is poised to escalate as the upcoming recoupling will result in heartbreak. After Lucinda’s surprising choice of Ciaran, further upheaval is heading towards the Villa, reports OK!.

As one Islander rises to make her selection, she becomes emotional whilst delivering her speech. She declares: “I feel really confused, I don’t really know where my head’s at..”
Samie, making her pick after Ciaran’s been claimed by Lucinda, states: “My journey in the villa was lovely up until this very moment but it’s never smooth sailing in this place so you’ve got to take the rough with the smooth I guess..”

Following the dramatic recoupling, Lucinda becomes visibly upset whilst speaking to Millie and Jess, revealing: “Whitney was saying ‘Charge it’ and Belle said, ‘Nah, we ain’t charging this one’…it’s like chill out. I don’t deserve to be spoken to like that.”
Meanwhile, Ciaran vents his frustrations to the lads: “Everyone in this gaff is preaching about how it’s early days… but as soon as it’s one of their best friends, it’s like ‘Oh no, it’s the end of the world.'”.
The atmosphere remains tense following the coupling ceremony, with Tommy opening up to Samie in a deeply personal moment.
At just 22, he’s the youngest islander to return to the villa this series, and the pressure is clearly taking its toll.
Tommy confesses: “I don’t know why I’m getting emotional… when I was on it [the main show] in the summer and I felt like I had that connection straight away and now I’ve come in here and, I’ll be honest, I feel like the age thing has been a big issue with a lot of the girls.

“I didn’t really understand why before coming in… but I am at a different stage of life than a lot of the girls in here…I do feel like I’m ready for a relationship and that is why I’m here.”
Attempting to lift his spirits, Samie reassures him: “It’s so annoying because I can tell you until I am blue in the face that you are so mature… you don’t know what’s around the corner.”
As Samie continues offering words of encouragement, fans may begin questioning whether Tommy can find his footing and secure his place in the villa.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
