LOVE Island could be a family affair for former star Zara McDermott.
Rumours continued to surround the broadcaster's brother, Brad, since her stint on the show in 2018.
Last year, we reported how the Essex hunk was in the mix for the summer Love Island series.
Now there is speculation Brad, who works as a DJ, could head to South Africa for the winter series, fronted by new Love Island host Maya Jama.
Claims in publication her.ie suggest "this one could be it for Brad."

Previously, sources have exclusively told The Sun of his admiration of the show after it transformed Zara's life.
The influencer is now pursuing a career as a documentary-maker and has fronted a number of BBC Three series focussed on the often-taboo issues of revenge porn and eating disorders.
At the time, one source told us: "
source said: “Brad is a young, good looking guy, and he has seen how appearing on Love Island has completely transformed Zara’s life.
“Though she didn’t find long-term love, it has served as a great platform for her.
“She also had a great time there, and he thinks it would be a great laugh."
The Sun has gone to ITV for comment.
Brad's name is in the frame after The Sun exclusively confirmed Boohoo model Tanya Manhenga is set to seek love in the sizzling sunshine as the matchmaking series kicks off.
Meanwhile, PrettyLittleThing model Chloe Baker is another name being tipped for the series.
