Ahead of his return to the famous villa, Love Island All Stars 2026 contestant Tommy Bradley has revealed he already has a romantic connection with one of his fellow islanders.
Flirty Messages with a Former Winner
Speaking to The Mirror, Tommy disclosed that he hopes to see Jess Harding in the South African villa. The pair shared a flirty exchange of direct messages last year. "I was messaging quite flirty DMs with Jess Harding," Tommy admitted. "I never met Jess but we DM'd quite a lot."
He explained that their online connection lasted for about a month, with attempts to meet up that ultimately fizzled out. "I haven't spoken to her for a good month or two... It could be interesting if she's in there," he added. Jess won Love Island in 2023 with Sammy Root, but their relationship ended less than two months after leaving the show.
Unfinished Business and New Prospects
Tommy also has history with another All Stars contestant from his original series. He was coupled up with Emily Moran for two weeks before Casa Amor in series 12. Tommy returned from Casa Amor with Lucy Quinn, which led to Emily being dumped from the villa.
"Me and Emily did get on really well, I was gutted the way things ended," Tommy said. "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."
Looking at new possibilities, Tommy named rumoured bombshell Samie Elishi as someone he finds "quite fit" and confirmed he would "definitely speak to her." Reports suggest Samie has already travelled to South Africa for the show.
Tommy's Love Island Journey So Far
Tommy first appeared on Love Island in series 12, where his romantic path included:
- A brief romance with Megan Forte Clarke.
- Meeting bombshell Lucy Quinn during Casa Amor.
- Splitting from Lucy shortly after being dumped from the show, following revelations he had kissed someone else at an event.
Now, Tommy is seeking a "second chance" at love on the All Stars edition, which is set to bring together fan favourites and iconic islanders from past series for another shot at romance.
