Brad McClelland has admitted he 'wished he said a bit more' to Lucinda Strafford before he left the Love Island villa.
The labourer, 25, chose to walk away from the villa and let Lucinda have a chance at finding love during Wednesday's episode of the ITV2 show, after they were voted the least compatible couple in a public vote.
Speaking on Sunday's episode of Love Island: Aftersun, Brad said he may have thought more about leaving alone had he had more time while his former partner in the villa Rachel Finni appeared on the show from home as she is self-isolating.

Host Laura Whitmore asked: 'She didn't leave with you when she could have. You were such a gent but wast here a bit of you thinking, 'come with me?''
Brad said: 'I didn't really think too much into it. The next day, I wish I had said a bit more but you just didn't get the time.'
Brad added that Hugo Hammond and Aaron Francis were also both vying for Lucinda's affections as soon as she entered the villa.
The TV star also took a playful swipe at Aaron after Lucinda swerved away from him when he tried to kiss her in Sunday's main show.

He said: 'Me, Aaron and Hugo were all into Lucinda. To be fair, who isn't? We all had a three horse race and I came out on top and she didn't swerve me, did she?'
Recently dumped islander Rachel also appeared on the show and avoided an awkward run-in with Brad who she was previously coupled up with before he chose Lucinda.
Laura revealed Rachel had been told by the track and trace app to self-isolate since landing back in the UK.
When Rachel entered the villa, she had to choose between Brad and Oliver 'Chuggs' Wallis to couple up with.

However, she revealed both men later admitted to her she wasn't their type.
Rachel said: 'The honest truth is, both guys admitted to me that I wasn't their particular type. There wasn't anything more special with Brad, I picked him because I was more attracted to him.
'I knew I'd be a placeholder, I was a placeholder for Brad to get Lucinda. I wish I gave myself as much of an opportunity as I gave other people. I would've gone for Aaron.'
Rachel added that she was surprised to see Aaron was now eager for Lucinda's affections.

She said: 'Never in a million years, that was completely shocking to me and I felt so bad for him when she swerved his kiss. Aaron and I had some great chats but it was more of a friendship thing for me.'
