Love Island bosses sign ‘Butler in the Buff’ Blade Siddiqi for Casa Amor after Kelly Brook branded him an ‘absolute specimen of a man’

Love Island bosses have signed ‘Butler in the Buff’ Blade Siddiqi for Casa Amor, MailOnline can reveal.

The 29-year-old fitness model from Stevenage hopes to find the woman of his dreams in the villa after struggling to find a steady partner for years due to his profession as a stripper.

Blade surprised 44-year-old Kelly Brook, who wore just a bow tie and apron on Heart Radio to celebrate her birthday last year, with the presenter calling him an ‘absolute specimen of a man’.

He has also made numerous television appearances with the party group Buff Boyz Naked Butlers, of which he is a member, entertaining women across the country by baring his muscular body.

But now he hopes to lure the female islanders away from their partners at Casa Amor as he joins the likes of Emma Milton, reportedly an ex-flame of footballer Jack Grealish, as part of the line-up of new singletons arriving in Mallorca.

A TV source told MailOnline: ‘Blade has been trying to find a serious partner for years, he’s in his late 20s and really hopes Love Island will mark a turning point in his romantic life.

“Casa Amor is very nice and he is the best person for this challenge. He is tall, muscular and used to flirting with women, because that is a big part of his daily job.

‘Although he is proud to be a Butler in the Buff, he hopes that potential girlfriends will still take him seriously and that his profession will not be off-putting.’

Blade previously admitted that his work prevented him from finding a permanent partner.

He said: ‘This work has made me put serious relationships aside because it can be very complicated. I am surrounded by women and I am always busy working at the weekend.’

In 2022, Blade explained that he turned stripping into a career and not only did it give him a dream job, but he also made a good living from it. Being naked had become second nature to him.

He said: ‘This really is the best job in the world. We’re always in this fun and flirty environment.

“It pays well and I work really hard on my body, so getting compliments is a bonus. I’ve been doing this for so long that I don’t even realize I’m naked and showing my butt. But it’s all just a bit of fun.”

Heart Radio presenter Kelly Brook couldn’t believe her eyes when she was surprised by Blade on her birthday last November
