Love Island dumpee Brad McClelland has had his say on having to watch his ex Lucinda Strafford, who he sacrificed his place in the villa for after a brutal twist, neck on with Aaron Francis in Monday night’s episode.
Viewers have been left blindsided by Lucinda as she found herself in the middle of a love triangle with Aaron and new bombshell Danny Bibby. Although Lucinda was chosen by Danny in the latest recoupling, she eventually realised her feelings for Aaron were stronger.
Now Brad, who appeared on Love Island's The Morning After podcast, has given his say on the whole situation and how he REALLY feels about Lucinda seemingly forgetting about him.

1 of 16Chloe Burrows
Chloe may have caught all the boys' attentions as evidenced in a recent explosive episode, but you can see she's always been a stunner from this uni halls pic taken way back in 2015.
2 of 16Faye Winter
Faye has certainly nailed this classic Instapose in this snap from 2019 - the hair, tan and Adidas bodysuit are all on point and a sign of things to come.
3 of 16Brad McClellan
A quick glance over Brad's insta and it's clear he uses it primarily to document his fitness journey. This snap from 2017 is from before it all began.
4 of 16Kaz Kamwi
Kaz was already a fashion blogger before she entered the Love Island villa, and so her first photo is appropriately professional looking (boo).
5 of 16Jake Cornish
Finally, a properly old photo! You can tell that Jake was already going to the gym when this photo was taken with a mate back in 2013.

PS. Enjoy this bonus pic of baby Jake with none other than footballer Wayne Rooney.
7 of 16Hugo Hammond
When he was a teenager, Hugo played Cricket for England's Physical Disability team.

PS. Baby Hugo for your viewing pleasure x
9 of 16Aaron Francis
Like Kaz, Aaron was already trying his hand as an influencer before he signed up to Love Island and so most of his photos are pretty glossy, but scroll down far enough and we found this photo of him seemingly winning an arm wrestle against Somoan Rugby Union player Many Tuilangi.
10 of 16Toby Aromolaran
Toby's not giving anything away with this sultry selfie from 2018, other than perhaps that he's heading off on his holidays, judging by his passport and boarding pass. He doesn't look that excited about it though, does he?
11 of 16Sharon Gaffka
In case you missed it, Sharon used to compete in beauty pageants and was Miss UK 2018. Here she is from the Galaxy pageant that same year.
12 of 16Liberty Poole
It looks like Liberty has always been a big fan of the finer things in life - as well as a blonde hair extension or two - judging from this snap with a pal from 2019.
13 of 16Liam Reardon
Viewers couldn't believe that Liam was only 21 when he entered the villa, but here's proof that Liam looked 30 way back in 2018 (regular teenaged boy for reference).
14 of 16Rachel Finni
This photo of Rach taken on a night out was posted in 2017 but captioned, "2 Years Ago ud83dude2b#CanILookLikeThisAgainPlease", so we can assume it's from way back in 2015.
15 of 16Millie Court
Proving she's always been a fan of posing up a storm in a bikini, we're majorly jeal of Millie's 2018 holiday to Cannes. Ahh, holidays - remember those?
16 of 16Lucinda Strafford
Right, we can't actually believe this 2018 photo of bombshell Lucinda - have Love Island checked her I.D.? Is she old enough to be on the show?
Revealing that viewers hadn’t seen the whole story behind Lucinda having three guys interested in her when she first entered the villa, Brad explained that he, Aaron and Hugo Hammond all initially made a play for the online fashion boutique owner and hinted that Aaron ended things with Sharon Gaffka because his head was turned by Lucinda.
Speaking to podcast hosts Kem Cetinay and Arielle Free, he said, “She had the opportunity to go with Aaron, she had the opportunity to go with Hugo and she decided not to and I’ve seen that obviously because I was in there.”

Wait, has Love Island’s Danny Bibby got a secret girlfriend?
Arielle then questioned if Aaron had always been kind of interested in Lucinda, to which Brad cheekily replied, “Well if I got put back in that villa and just basically say, 'Here! Howay, let’s go.
“I’ve already been in that situation where it was me, Aaron or Hugo and I already came out on top”.
He continued, “I’m not normally confident in many situations but in that situation I would be.”
But will Brad still be waiting for Lucinda when she gets back to Blighty after she’s clearly moved on?
He said, “You know I’m one of these people that don’t like unfinished business, do you know what I mean?”
The Amble lad also sparked rumours that he would be up for heading to Casa Amor in coming weeks after a fan asked him during a Q&A on Instagram.
"Not that I know of, but it's Love Island so who knows?" he cryptically replied.
We would LOVE to see that, ngl.
