Tommy's documented his routine on his Instagram page, which is filled with videos from his gym sessions.
And he looks to have been helped along by his boxer brother, Jamie Bradley, who also features on the page.
Tommy's set for the opening line-up of Maya Jama 's show, with 6'5' hunk Aaron Buckett poised to join later as a bombshell.
A source said: '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.
'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.'
Love Island and ITV has yet to announce any of the cast, but decisions will be made soon about which guys and girls make the opening line-up with the series just days from launch.
Tommy will be able to enjoy garden workouts with hunky 6'5' Aaron Buckett, who was the first name linked to this series but is likely to join as a bombshell.
Stunning Manchester model Shakira Khan and Sophie Lee, both revealed by The Sun, are in the mix for opening up the show.
We also reported how stunning beauty salon owner Rose Selway had signed up.
She runs 12 aesthetics clinics with a famous clientele that includes former Love Islanders Lucinda Strafford and Jessy Potts.
Recently, The Sun revealed exclusive photos of the new-look Majorcan villa.
The snaps revealed the new look fire pit in all its glory but there was no sign of a roof terrace, suggesting the iconic seating area may have been ditched.

Lizzie Cundy puts on a leggy display in a lace minidress as she defends Miss England pageant and recalls judging contest the year Danny Jones' wife Georgia was crowned
Lizzie Cundy put on a leggy display in a lace mini dress as she weighed in on the Miss England scandal reflecting on Danny Jones ' wife. The socialite, 57, who has judged pageants for many years across her glitzy career in TV, appeared on Channel 5 's Storm Huntley show on Monday. For her TV stint she put on a classy display in a £350 pale blue Self-Portrait floral peplum minidress. She appeared on the show to weigh on the recent scandal surrounding the Miss England pageant contest. As she defended the show, the personality reflected back to her time as a judge on the show which was during the time when McFly 's Danny's wife Georgia won. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Speaking to the show host, Lizzie said: 'I was in these pageants, I did them, I have been a judge many times for Miss England. 'And I am sorry she wasn't happy with her experience but I know many girls where it has been absolutely incredible, given them a step up the ladder in their career, loads of opportunities, been able to do loads of charity work from it and had the time of their lives. 'I was a judge on Miss England when Danny Jones, you know McFly, his wife won Georgia who was profoundly deaf and she was finding it hard to get on in modelling work and when she won Miss England, it was a huge opportunity for her. 'She went on todo great things and it does a great deal for charity as well.' Lizzie defended the contest as it has come under fire in recent days after a Miss World beauty contestant has become embroiled in an exploitation row after she accused the organisers of using her as entertainment for wealthy investors. Milla Magee, the reigning Miss England, said she decided to take part in the Miss World 2025 pageant to promote her campaign to have CPR added to the school curriculum. But before she left before the grand final in India on Saturday, she reported claimed she felt exploited. It is believed that she said she and the other women were being used as entertainment for investors as a 'thank you', the Guardian first reported. Lizzie defended the contest as it has come under fire in recent days after a Miss World beauty contestant has become embroiled in an exploitation row after she accused the organisers of using her as entertainment for wealthy investors In response to the claims, Miss World referred to the 'false and defamatory statements' and said they were 'completely unfounded and inconsistent with the reality of her time with us'. The organisation's chief executive, Julia Morley reportedly claimed in an interview with the Hindu newspaper that Milla left because she 'believed she didn't stand a chance in the competition'. Miss England director Angie Beasley said in a statement: 'Beauty With A Purpose is a charity not a 'mantra' founded by Julia Morley CBE. Julia is the chairman & CEO of the Miss World organisation. 'The charity focuses on helping disadvantaged children and young people worldwide through various projects and initiatives. It's a platform that empowers young women to make a difference by raising funds and awareness for causes they are passionate about. 'Winning a national title like Miss England just gives the contestants a bigger platform to promote their causes. Miss Wales, Millie-Mae Adams won the Beauty with a Purpose Award for Europe at Miss World 2025 in Hyderabad India highlighting 'First Aid Against Knife Crime' a very powerful initiative . 'Our last Miss England winner Jessica Gagen promoted 'Women in Stem' during her year and placed in the top 8 of Miss World winning the Miss World Europe 2024 title. 'Us organisers work tirelessly to try and help our winners promote their project in their own country during their year which I have personally done for Milla Magee. 'During the year Milla held the Miss England title, I personally got behind her CPR project & promoted this for her on the Miss England platform as I think it's a great initiative. This is something we always do for our national winners now if they are passionate about their own project as usually it's a great way of spreading positivity on social media which I think we need to do in today's society! 'We even made CPR awareness a round in the next Miss England due to Milla's campaign highlighting the need for CPR Training across England with our hundreds of contestants.' Milla said: 'What Julia said was vindictive and very bitter. And it was a ridiculous statement. 'I did not leave because I thought I was not going to win. I left because I wanted to stand for what I believe in and it didn't align with my values. 'And I would hate for another young girl to go into this system after watching me this past year and have to experience the same.' She added: 'I felt like I've been fed a false narrative of this system that promotes ''beauty with a purpose'', that's supposed to be about advocacy and what you champion for.' Instead, Milla claimed she found she and the other women were there based on looks and to entertain guests, with limited opportunity provided to promote their chosen causes. In one claim, the contestant alleged that a man approached her and said: 'Next time I'm in London or England, hook me up' - leaving Milla feeling uncomfortable. She added that she has received many messages from women who have also taken part in pageants, 'saying how they felt the exact same'.

Study reveals how much it will cost couples each year to retire in comfort... and the amount you need to be able to go on holiday and enjoy trips to the theatre
The cost of a comfortable retirement for couples has tipped beyond £60,000 a year, a study has found. For households wanting to invest their hard-earned pensions in several holidays, theatre trips and flash cars, the annual sum needed to do so has soared to £60,600. And if retired couples are seeking to have just a 'moderate' lifestyle – with fewer trips abroad and only the occasional meal out – this will still set them back £43,900 each year, according to retirement advisers the Pension and Lifetime Savings Association (PLSA). Individuals will, meanwhile, need to save even harder as the moderate retirement level would cost them £31,700 and the comfortable alternative £43,900. The Pension and Lifetime Savings Association study, compiled by Loughborough University (pictured), showed lower energy prices have dampened the annual rise in retirement costs Compiled by Loughborough University, the PLSA's Retirement Living Standards report indicates what annual incomes workers need for a minimum, moderate or comfortable retirement. These are based on different baskets of goods and services such as food and drink, transport, holidays, clothes and social outings. The study also showed lower energy prices have dampened the annual rise in retirement costs, while the income needed to fund a moderate or better lifestyle has risen by only a few percentage points since the PLSA's last report.

Main cause of distracted driving mistakes revealed – and it's not your phone
Catting with passengers and daydreaming are more likely to cause distracted driving errors than mobile phone use, a survey has found. The RAC, which conducted the poll, cautioned that distractions can lead to "catastrophic consequences." The survey of 2,691 UK drivers found that over three in five (63 per cent) admitted to making errors while driving due to distractions. Among this group, the most frequent causes were conversations with passengers (43 per cent) and thinking about unrelated topics (37 per cent). Additionally, interacting with modern touchscreen systems for functions like heating, radio, and navigation contributed to driver errors, with 26 per cent reporting such incidents. Mistakes included missing a junction, exceeding the speed limit, ending up in the wrong lane and nearly crashing into another road user. When all respondents to the survey were asked what they consider distracting, the most common responses were talking on a phone (46 per cent) and applying make-up or shaving (42 per cent). But among those who admitted to making distracted mistakes, just 8 per cent and 2 per cent of drivers respectively said those were the causes. Separate Department for Transport (DfT) figures show 940 people were killed or seriously injured in crashes on Britain's roads in 2023 where a driver was found to be distracted by something within their vehicle. RAC road safety spokesman Rod Dennis said: 'Talking to passengers or daydreaming are so common that they aren't perceived by drivers to be big distractions, but our research has revealed they are in fact responsible for most of the errors drivers admit to. 'Although your eyes are on the road, it's easy for your mind to wander behind the wheel, especially on long journeys. 'Distractions can have catastrophic consequences for both drivers themselves and other road users, especially in extreme instances like failing to stop at a junction or at a red light or crossing. 'Driving is still a very mentally demanding task, especially as we need to be able to react to what's in front in a split-second, so it's important we do everything we can to stay alert and minimise distractions.'
