Love Island star reveals 'crazy' link to Liam Gallagher after being dumped from villa

Former Love Island contestant Tommy Bradley has revealed he once carried out gardening work at the home of Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher.

Tommy, 22, was dumped from the ITV2 dating series alongside Lucy Quinn nearly three weeks ago. Speaking on GK Barry’s Saving Grace podcast, the Hertfordshire landscape gardener explained that before joining the show, his work often took him to celebrity properties.

“When I tell people I do gardening, it doesn’t sound as good,” he said. “But we’d go to footballers’ houses and celebrities.” It comes after dumped Love Island star Megan Forte Clarke took a brutal swipe at Harry and Shakira after being axed from the island for a second time.

Asked who the most famous client was, Tommy replied: “Liam Gallagher. I’m a massive Oasis fan and there was a point when a company I joined used to do his maintenance like cut his grass, cut back hedges, general tidy‑up.”

Tommy said his stint with the company coincided with Gallagher temporarily leaving the property. “I joined that company when he moved out for building work. His house was being renovated and he moved to the Cotswolds,” he explained.

“I was only there for three months, just for the summer, and when I left, he moved back in. I was actually gutted."

Although he did not meet Gallagher during that time, Tommy said he has since had an indirect connection to the famous family. He revealed Noel Gallagher’s daughter, Anais, had commented on one of his TikTok posts.

“I was buzzing,” he said. “I then went on Instagram and saw she follows me, so I followed her back. She sent a video of Noel and Liam on stage and I messaged her like, ‘Counting down the days.’”

Tommy said the exchange ended there, but he has plans to see Liam Gallagher perform later this year. “I’m going in September at Wembley,” he said. “She asked me what show I’m going to and I told her. She liked the message but that’s all it’s been left at.”

The gardener appeared on the summer 2025 series of Love Island and has became known for his romance with fellow contestant Lucy Quinn before the pair were eliminated.

Since leaving the villa, he has been discussing his life before reality TV and the unusual celebrity encounters he experienced through his gardening work.

It comes after Tommy's love interest Lucy finally addressed her viral voicenote following her exit from the Love Island villa.

The makeup artist, 21, faced backlash when a message she had sent to a friend before entering the ITV2 reality show as a Bombshell was leaked.

In the 37-second recording, fans heard her plan to couple up with Tommy - who at that point had just finished dating Megan Forte Clarke - as a supposedly guaranteed way to make it to the final, and was grilled by host Maya Jama on the incident during an appearance on Sunday's Aftersun.

She explained: "So obviously, like, we probably have all done it, like, sent voice notes to friends and obviously, I really did trust that friend.

"So, with the Tommy situation, I was just saying that he's a very nice boy and, like, that's why I wanted to get to know him."

Insisting that she did not intend for the message to come across as a game plan to win, she said: "I did say 'Til the end', but it weren't like, the final, obviously, I was meaning, like, I wanted to be with him in the future. Someone with really good morals and stuff like that.

The Liverpudlian also used her airtime to insist that Tommy is a boy her father approved of, and profusely apologised to Megan, whom she had labelled a "f***king little slapper" but insisted she is not normally the type of person who would say that.

She added: "And, also, before going on the show, my dad did say to me, like, 'He's the kind of boy I'd like you to bring home because he's just very respectful. And then, obviously, talking about Meghan as well, I should never have commented on someone who I've never met before. So I do really apologise about that, I'm actually not that type of girl. "

Lucy claimed that the whole scandal has "been blown out of proportion" and that she didn't expect everyone to hear the voice note in the first place.

In response, Maya told her: "That's definitely not a good friend, I hope you blocked her after that" and Lucy confirmed that she is no longer in contact with the person who leaked the voice note.
