He explained how he had tried for years to get in touch with his now-15-year-old half-sister, before revealing it was his Love Island that reunited them.

Brad told Ranvir Singh: “I'm one of six and my brothers and sisters are massive for me. I try to spend as much time as I can with them. To have another sibling is a massive thing.

"I always knew I had a younger sister, I tried to get in contact with her for years, searched for her on social media, all I had was her name. She reached out to me and I FaceTimed her a couple of days ago. The first time I’ve seen her face and spoken to her and heard her voice was literally just a couple of days ago."

He went on to add that his reunion with his little sis was the best thing to come out of his Love Island experience, adding: “If anything has come from my Love Island experience…. I found love in a different way. She's 15 and that's the first time I've ever seen her. It means the world to me."
