Holly Willoughby swoons over ‘gorgeous’ Love Island star Brad McClelland

HOLLY Willoughby branded Love Island’s Brad McClelland ‘gorgeous’ as she discussed him on today’s This Morning.

The 40-year-old admitted she had joined the 26-year-old labourer’s legion of fans after watching him make his entrance on last night’s show.

Her comment came as she chatted with former winner Amber Gill and co-host Phillip Schofield about the episode.

Phil started by saying: "He’s got quite a thick accent hasn’t he?"

Clearly smitten, mum-of-three Holly said: "Great accent, it did take me a couple of seconds, because he sort of talks... he doesn't stop between sentences either so it's quite hard to kind of work out what he's saying.”

The star - who is married to Dan Baldwin - added:  "Gorgeous though!"

Amber couldn’t agree more and remarked:  "So beautiful."

Holly showed she was quite invested already as she added: "Well, we'll see what happens with him! He seems like quite a nice boy as well, he does seem like a sweetheart.”

Brad was a huge hit on screen last night when he ended up coupling up with Faye Winter. 

In the first coupling Brad stole Faye off semi-professional footballer Toby Aromolaran and the pair are pretty smitten with each other.

He's made it very clear that he's physically attracted to her and last night the pair shared the first snog of the season during a game of dares.

However, the game of dares was soon interrupted as Toby got a text, which was a voicenote from late arrival Chloe Burrows.

Fans are not convinced that Chloe will make a beeline for Brad, who won viewers over when he said he still lives with his nan. 

Last night also saw events host Aaron Francis, 24, pick model Singh, 22, although she confessed she's not really feeling it.

Civil servant Sharon Gaffka, 25, is currently coupled up with PE teacher Hugo Hammond, 22, and fashion blogger Kaz, Kawami, 26, is with Toby.
