Newcomer Rachel Finni chose Brad as her partner in Monday’s (July 5) episode of the hit ITV2 reality show, which meant his rival in a head-to-head battle for Rachel’s affections, Chuggs Wallis, was booted out.
Now, just four days later, labourer Brad, 26, appears to have caught the eye of another newbie, Lucinder Stafford.

Brad has made no secret of the fact that he is interested in getting to know Lucinda.
And before she entered the villa on Tuesday, Lucinder, a 21-year-old online fashion boutique owner from Brighton, said: “I really fancy Brad. And then possibly Liam. But obviously I’m open to getting to know any of the other boys.”
Tonight, the pair share a smooch in one of the show’s challenges, then speaking to her later, Brad says: “Since I’ve laid it all out, I didn’t really want to be jumping into bed with another lass. You’re there. I already laid it out to you. Tonight, there is nothing I can do about it.”
