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, is hoping to find the woman of his dreams in the villa after struggling to connect with a long-term partner for years due to his stripping career.
Blade surprised Kelly Brook, 44, wearing just a bow tie and apron on Heart Radio to celebrate his 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 showing off his muscular body.
But now he hopes to lure the islanders away from their partners at Casa Amor as he joins the likes of Emma Milton, reportedly an ex-girlfriend of footballer Jack Grealish, as part of the line-up of new singles arriving in Mallorca.
Love Island bosses have signed Blade Siddiqi from ‘Butler in the Buff’ to Casa Amor, MailOnline can reveal
The fitness model is hoping to find the woman of his dreams in the villa after struggling to connect with a stable partner over the years due to his stripping career.
Blade surprised Kelly Brook wearing just a bow tie and apron on Heart Radio to celebrate his birthday last year, with the presenter calling him an “absolute specimen of a man”.
A TV source told MailOnline: “Blade has been trying to find a serious partner for years, he is in his twenties and is really hoping Love Island marks a turning point in his romantic life.
‘Casa Amor is a lot of fun and he’s the best person for the challenge, he’s tall, muscular and more than used to flirting with women because it’s a big part of his daily job.
“Although he is proud to be an amateur butler, he hopes that his potential girlfriends will still take him seriously and that his profession will not be unpleasant.”
Blade previously admitted that his line of work has prevented him from finding a long-term partner.
He said: “Doing this job means I’ve had to put serious relationships aside as it can be very difficult because I’m surrounded by women and I’m always busy working at weekends.”
In 2022, Blade explained how stripping for a living was not only a dream job, but it also earned him a good income and 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, flirty environment.
“I get paid well and I work hard on my body, so getting compliments is an added bonus too. I’ve been doing this for so long that I don’t even notice I’m naked and my butt is exposed. But it’s all a bit of fun.”
Heart Radio host Kelly Brook couldn’t believe her eyes when Blade surprised her on her birthday in November last year.
Blade appeared in just a bow tie and apron, revealing his muscular physique during the live radio segment.
In 2022, Blade explained that stripping for a living was not only his dream job, but it also brings him a good income and being naked has become second nature to him.

On Friday’s show, Joey and Jessy continue to get closer, sharing kisses while in bed together.
