Tommy has undergone an impressive body transformation for his time in the villa, joining forces with his boxer brother, Jamie Bradley, who often features on his Instagram page.
The lands cape gardener, 22, has now revealed the true extent of his celebrity connections.
In his Love Island pre-villa interview, the Hertfordshire lad was asked about his claim to fame.
He said: "My brother Jamie is a professional boxer.
"He used to train with Anthony Joshua."
Jamie made his boxing debut at London's iconic York Hall in September 2024.
The super lightweight then won a bout in the same venue back in March.
Meanwhile, love hopeful Tommy also told how his secret skill was playing the guitar, and knowing the lyrics to every Oasis track.
A source previously said of his villa sign-up: 'Tommy seems to tick all the Love Island boxes as the cheeky chappy of this summer's series.
'He looks to enjoy a night out with the lads and out on the boxing scene with his brother.
Ten Years of Love Island
'But he's also packed on serious muscle over the last year ready for telly's famous villa and is no longer just a personality hire.
'Execs are finalising who will be in the OG line-up and who will be a bombshell.'
STAR STUDDED BUNCH
Tommy's new Love Island co-star, Dejon Noel-Williams, is also no stranger to a celebrity connection.
The footballer and PT, 26, is one of the first three faces revealed in official ITV2 images confirming the line-up in full.
London-based Dejon, who has played for Grenada's national side, told how his claim to fame saw his dad rubbing shoulders with David Beckham, 50.
He said of parent Gifton Noel-Williams, 45, who has played for Stoke City, Waford and Burnley to name a few: "My dad being an ex-professional footballer.
"I've met all kinds of famous people through him.
"When I was younger it was weird because he was just my dad, but we'd go to a game and fans were asking for photos.
"I've met David Beckham, he was really nice."
Love Island bosses will officially confirm the OGs today, with the series to kick off next Monday.
Recently, The Sun revealed exclusive photos of the new-look Majorcan villa.

Faye Winter's floral midi dress is on our Wimbledon outfit wishlist and £125 off
Faye Winter wore a Karen Millen floral midi dress to the Royal Windsor Horse Show recently, and we've already got our eye on it as a perfect Wimbledon outfit now it has £125 off It's almost time for Wimbledon to kick off, and if you're planning on heading courtside, you'll need an outfit to suit the occasion. Although Wimbledon has a smart casual dress code, it's no secret that guests love to make an effort with their looks, and we've found the perfect midi dress that nails the brief. The Karen Millen Rose Embroidered Cotton Organdie Midi Halter Dress was spotted on former Love Island star Faye Winter as she attended the Royal Windsor Horse Show in May, and it would be perfect for the tennis event. Fans were quick to praise Faye's look on Instagram too, with one writing: 'Where is this dress from @faye__winter it's beautiful.' Another agreed: 'Wow, that dress is adorable you look absolutely stunning love you Faye,' whilst others added: 'Stunning!!! That dress' and 'Love this dress.' Usually priced at £359, it's currently on sale with 35% off, slashing the price down to £233.35 and saving you £125.65. Whilst it's admittedly a splurge, the chic floral midi dress is perfect for all kinds of occasions, from events like Wimbledon, to evening dinners on holiday, garden parties and even the office with a simple clever swap of accessories and shoes. The Embroidered Midi Halter Dress ticks all the boxes for Wimbledon; it comes in a breezy white 100% cotton fabric that's floaty, lightweight and breathable, and features contrasting red rose embroidery giving it a British garden theme. The halterneck has a collared neckline and button up front, giving it a modern, feminine twist. Its flattering cut is thanks to the fitted bodice and flared skirt which has a slight A-line silhouette. The addition of a tie belt letting you choose whether to cinch in your waist for a defined look or leave it loose (or removed altogether) for a more relaxed fit. If you want a more fitted silhouette, New Look's Red Rose Print Halterneck Mesh Midi Dress is £32.99 and has a classic slip design, with spaghetti straps and a figure hugging fit. It features a white and red rose print, with mesh overlay and a cowl halterneck that's flattering on all bust sizes. For a slightly more laidback look, Joe Browns' Rebecca Roses Vintage Printed Midi Dress is £50 and has a vintage-inspired tea dress silhouette. The short puff sleeves are perfect for giving a little more coverage, whilst the subtle V-neck, shaping around the bust and shirred waist at the back create a comfortable, flattering fit. However if Faye's stunning Karen Millen Embroidered Midi Halter Dress is your top pick, now is the time to get your hands on it. Size 16 has already sold out, but you can still get it in sizes 6 to 14.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wanted to change surname to Spencer 'amid fears Charles was delaying Archie and Lilibet's passports because the application included HRH titles'
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle feared Archie and Lilibet's British passports were being held up at the behest of their grandfather the King over the use of their HRH titles, it was claimed today. The Sussexes are said to have become 'exasperated' about waiting months for their children's passports to arrive and believed it was being 'blocked' due to the use of their royal titles. The couple thought the application would take weeks and suspected it was because they wanted HRH on Archie and Lilibet's British travel documents. They then began exploring changing their surname to Spencer - a nod to Princess Diana, as revealed by The Mail on Sunday. 'The King hadn't wanted Archie and Lili to carry the titles, most of all the HRH, and the British passports, once created, would be the first and perhaps the only legal proof of their names', a source close to Harry and Meghan reportedly told The Guardian. 'There was clear reluctance to issue passports for the kids'. The insider has claimed that Harry wanted Archie and Lilibet, whose fourth birthday yesterday was marked with a video of her mother and father twerking before her birth, to have HRH titles so when they are adults they retain the chance to become working royals, should they wish. However, Buckingham Palace has pushed back on the claims the King or any of his staff intervened. When asked if there was any objection from Charles or aides to the passports being issued with the HRH titles, a spokesman said: 'No' but declined to comment further. Buckingham Palace denied that the King or any of his aides had anything to do with the delays in issuing their passports A gift basket and HRH note sent to Meghan's friend, CEO of IT Cosmetics Jamie Kern Lima. Meghan's spokesman last month denied that has been using it for commercial gain On their birth certificates, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's children are Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor and Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor. But according to reports their applications used the surname Sussex, not Mountbatten-Windsor, which Archie had on his previous US and British passports. The average wait for a UK passport is currently around three weeks. But apparently Harry and Meghan cancelled their initial standard applications after three months and reapplied using the UK Government's 24-hour passport service. But then their online meeting to fasttrack the applications was eventually cancelled at the 11th hour owing to a 'systems failure.' The Guardian's source claimed that Harry and Meghan feared officials in the UK were 'dragging their feet' because Archie and Lilibet's passport applications included the titles HRH. The insider added: 'Harry was at a point where British passports for his children with their updated Sussex surnames (since the death of Queen Elizabeth II) were being blocked with a string of excuses over the course of five months. 'Out of sheer exasperation he went to his uncle to effectively say: 'My family are supposed to have the same name and they're stopping that from happening because the kids are legally HRH, so if push comes to shove, if this blows up and they won't let the kids be called Sussex, then can we use Spencer as a surname?'.' The couple then reportedly asked their lawyers to write to the HM Passport Office threatening to pursue a data subject access request relating to Archie and Lilibet's applications. Days later the two passports were reportedly issued with HRH titles and Sussex as the new surname. A spokesman for Harry and Meghan said: 'We do not comment on private issues pertaining to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex 's children.' The Home Office declined to comment. Meghan Markle posted a video of her and Prince Harry twerking in a hospital room before Lilibet's birth to mark her fourth birthday yesterday The Sussexes' use of HRH has proved highly controversial because the couple are said to have reassured the Queen that they would not use the title after they emigrated to the US. But then MailOnline revealed last month that Meghan Markle calls herself Her Royal Highness to friends - but has denied that in doing so she is flouting the Megxit deal agreed with the late monarch. The former actress, 43, sparked controversy after her friend Jamie Kern Lima shared a picture of a food hamper with a note that said it was 'With the compliments of HRH The Duchess of Sussex'. Although no laws were passed or documents signed to prevent their use, Harry and Meghan's agreement with the late Queen and senior officials was that they would stop using the word 'Royal' and their HRH titles after they quit duties and emigrated to the US to become 'financially independent' from the Crown. A spokesman for the Sussexes insisted that they do not use HRH titles for commercial purposes. A source close to the royal couple suggested that the image shared by Jamie Kern Lima was taken before the Duchess launched her As Ever brand in early March. In the podcast, Jamie Kern Lima claimed that she had been sent the jam last year. The Sussexes have never had their HRH taken away by Queen Elizabeth II or King Charles. The source close to the couple said that while Meghan and Harry do not publicly use 'HRH ', their titles remain. Last weekend The Mail on Sunday revealed how Prince Harry sought advice from Princess Diana 's brother about changing his family name to Spencer. Sources told Richard Eden that the Duke of Sussex actively explored ways to assume his mother's surname – a move that would have involved ditching Mountbatten-Windsor, used by his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. It is understood he discussed the issue with Earl Spencer – whose family seat is Althorp in Northamptonshire – during a rare visit to Britain, but was told that the legal hurdles were insurmountable. 'They had a very amicable conversation and Spencer advised him against taking such a step,' said a friend of Harry. Nevertheless, the fact that he consulted the Earl over the issue – a proposal that would dismay his brother and father – is a vivid expression of the toxic rift with his family. Mountbatten-Windsor is the surname available to descendants of the late Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. It combines the Royal Family 's name of Windsor and the Duke of Edinburgh 's adopted surname. Royal author Tom Bower has claimed that 'Meghan decided her real object in life was to be Diana'. If the name change had succeeded, Meghan's daughter, who is believed to have met the King only once, would have become Lilibet Diana Spencer, a more fulsome tribute to Harry's late mother. The move would be particularly hurtful to King Charles, who cherishes the Mountbatten name just as his father did.

I'm the voice of Sainsbury's self checkouts – everyone asks if I get paid per time the tills are used, here's the truth
HAVE you ever wondered who the voice at supermarkets' self checkouts belongs to? Well, in Sainsbury's, the job is held by Alison - who regularly shares updates about her job as a voiceover artist on her social media pages. 3 3 And in a new TikTok, Alison revealed one of the questions she's asked all the time is how much she gets paid for the honour - with people asking if she gets a set payment every time the till is used. "I wish, absolutely not!" she laughed. Instead, she got paid a set rate for every day she worked on the job. "For that particular job I did two days of records and then three extra days of re-record," she explained. "So five days in total. "So five days' worth of work which is a separate fee per day and then also a buyout fee depending on how long they want to use it." Alison also revealed her five-year contract states that her voice - which she recorded in July 2023 - will be used up until July 2028. "Must be SOOO trippy when you're at self checkout yourself and hear your own voice!" one person commented on the video. "So interesting!" another said. "I'm actually a Sainsbury's shopper, so I can now put a face to voice!" I quit my job to be mad mountain-dwelling inventor… from a floating BBQ desk to off-road bed tank, these are my wackiest "I would go to Sainsbury's daily if I were her to troll the customers," another laughed. "I'm so sorry but i'm pretty sure I've told u to shut up before," a third joked. "The amount of times I've shouted at u for shouting at me is unreal," someone else said. "Sorry for anything I have ever said to you at the self checkout!" another giggled. "Do you ever not pay for your shopping and then just say 'payment accepted' and then walk off with a trolley?" someone else hilariously asked. With Alison replying: "Hahahah no but maybe I'll try that next time!" "If I was your I would have so much fun I'd stand next to the self checkouts and say stuff just to mess with people," another admitted.
