Tommy Bradley, a 22-year-old Hertfordshire landscape gardener and recent Love Island castoff, has left fans reeling with a surprising revelation about his brush with rock royalty. Speaking on GK Barry’s Saving Grace podcast, the reality TV star spilled the tea on his unexpected connection to Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher, revealing he once tended to the singer’s garden and even scored a social media shoutout from Gallagher’s daughter, Anais.
Tommy, who was dumped from the ITV2 dating show alongside his villa flame Lucy Quinn nearly three weeks ago, opened up about his life before Love Island. While his romance with Lucy made waves in the villa, it’s his pre-show gig as a gardener that’s now stealing the spotlight. “When I tell people I do gardening, it doesn’t sound as good,” Tommy admitted. “But we’d go to footballers’ houses and celebrities.” And the biggest name on his client list? None other than Liam Gallagher, the legendary voice behind Oasis.
Tommy explained that his brief stint with a landscaping company landed him at Gallagher’s property for routine maintenance—mowing lawns, trimming hedges, and keeping the rockstar’s garden in top shape. Unfortunately, timing wasn’t on his side. “I joined that company when he moved out for building work,” Tommy shared. “His house was being renovated, and he moved to the Cotswolds. I was only there for three months, just for the summer, and when I left, he moved back in. I was actually gutted.”
While Tommy never met Liam in person, his Oasis obsession led to an unexpected digital connection with the Gallagher family. The gardener revealed that Noel Gallagher’s daughter, Anais, recently commented on one of his TikTok posts, sending him into a frenzy. “I was buzzing,” he said. “I 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.’”
The exchange didn’t end there. Tommy, a self-proclaimed Oasis superfan, shared that he’s gearing up to see Liam Gallagher perform at Wembley in September. When he told Anais about his plans, she liked his message, leaving the door open for more fangirl-worthy moments. “That’s all it’s been left at,” Tommy said, but his excitement was palpable.
Tommy’s bombshell Gallagher connection isn’t the only thing making headlines. His Love Island love interest, 21-year-old makeup artist Lucy Quinn, has been at the center of a storm since their exit from the villa. A leaked voicenote from Lucy, sent to a friend before her bombshell entrance on the show, sparked major backlash. In the 37-second clip, Lucy outlined her plan to couple up with Tommy—fresh off his split with fellow contestant Megan Forte Clarke—as a way to secure her spot “til the end.”
The voicenote, which included a harsh jab at Megan, calling her a “f***king little slapper,” went viral, prompting host Maya Jama to confront Lucy on Love Island: Aftersun. Lucy defended herself, insisting the message was taken out of context. “I really did trust that friend,” she said. “I was just saying that [Tommy’s] a very nice boy, and that’s why I wanted to get to know him. I did say ‘til the end,’ but it wasn’t about the final—I meant I wanted to be with him in the future.”
Lucy also addressed her controversial comment about Megan, expressing regret. “I should never have commented on someone I’ve never met before,” she said. “I do really apologise about that. I’m actually not that type of girl.” She added that her father approved of Tommy, describing him as “very respectful” and the kind of guy she’d bring home.
As for the friend who leaked the voicenote? Lucy confirmed she’s cut ties. “That’s definitely not a good friend,” Maya quipped, to which Lucy replied, “I’ve blocked her.”
Tommy’s journey from pruning hedges at Liam Gallagher’s home to stealing hearts on Love Island has been nothing short of wild. His unexpected connection to the Gallagher family and his whirlwind villa romance have cemented his place as one of the summer 2025 series’ most memorable stars. As he gears up for Liam’s Wembley performance, fans are left wondering if Tommy’s Oasis obsession might lead to an epic encounter with the rock icon himself.
