Too cute! 😍

Author: Georgie HollandPublished 16th Jul 2021

Brad McClelland saw his Love Island journey cut short on Wednesday night (14th June) as he left the villa in order to let his boo Lucinda Strafford stay. The 26-year-old has now returned to him hometown of Amble, sharing an adorable picture as he reunites with his nana.

Brad entered the villa on day one, leaving his fellow Islanders in tears as he made the decision to leave. Taking to Instagram, the Northumberland-born Love Island star wrote: 'Well I’m back and reunited with me Nana!'

Fans jumped into the comments section to share the love, with one writing: 'So sweet 😍🙌' and another commenting: 'Awww well done! She will be happy to have you home! X' (sic).

Others took to the comments to discuss Brad's shocking exit, with one writing: 'Adorable!! Gutted you left! It shouldn’t have been you. What a gent for putting yourself forward to leave xx' (sic) and another commenting: 'Brad come back 😢💔 you deserved to stay you was a day 1' (sic).

Brad has also taken to his Instagram Story to thank everyone for supporting him on the show, saying: "Thanks everyone that showed is support on the show, it's been an absolute blast and I hope I made yous all proud!"

On Wednesday night's (14th June) episode, Brad and Lucinda were forced to decide which one of them got to stay in the villa and which had to leave, following the pair being voted one of the least compatible couples.

This isn't the first time Love Island have shocked us this series, with fans being outraged at Shannon Singh getting dumped from the villa after just 48 hours.
