The labourer left the hit dating show in favour of Lucinda staying and continuing her Love Island journey after they were voted the least compatible couple by the public.

Since his shock dumping the Brighton babe has been cracking on and getting to know Aaron Francis as well as new boy Danny Bibby.

On Sunday's show, host Laura Whitmore asked: 'She didn't leave with you when she could have.

"You were such a gent but wasn't a bit of you thinking, 'come with me?'."

When speaking on his favourite villa moment, the 25-year-old gushed: "It was probably that day that 'Cinda walked in for me because my journey was kinda waiting to be started and then the moment she walked in, it did."

He also confessed that the three Islanders he will mist most were Lucinda, Liam Reardon and Jake Cornish.

However, in an Instagram 'Q & A', Brad hinted that he won't way for the 21-year-old Tik Tok star to leave the villa...

A fan asked the reality star "Do you regret coupling up with Lucinda", to which he responded: “What do you's think? You think I should wait for ‘Cind?”

Love Island stans are getting mixed signals from Brad, will he still be holding a flame for Lucinda when she gets out? Only time will tell...
