NORTH East Love Island contestant, Brad McClelland, was left homeless after his young brother accidentally started a fire at their Northumberland home.
Chronicle Live reported that back in 2006, the fire was started by Love Island Brad's two-year-old brother Mackenzie McClelland as he was playing with mum Kimberley's cigarette lighter.
The fire reportedly left the house in Amble, Northumberland devastated.
The family then moved into Brad's nan's home where he has lived since.
Earlier this week, Brad was saved from being dumped from the island by newbie Rachel.
Brad, 26, is a labourer he initially coupled up with Faye on the first episode.
