Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing On Ice will be familiar with Brendan Cole. From his foxtrot to his winning smile, the Strictly star has won over the nation becoming something of a national treasure.It may come as a surprise to find out however, that Strictly wasn't the dancer's only foray into TV.
Back in 2006 Brendan starred in a series of Love Island. Yep, you heard us right - Brendan was a full fledged Islander.Some of you may be surprised to hear there was a celebrity series of Love Island back in the noughties.
Ok, time for a history lesson: So the Love Island we all know and love was actually a reboot of an earlier TV series called 'Celebrity Love Island.' The series was retitled 'Love Island' in its second series and the original show was nowhere near as successful as the latter, in fact it was cancelled in 2006 after two series due to low ratings.While the two shows share a name and basic concept, there are many differences between the two. The original show saw a cast of twelve single celebrities flown out to Fiji for five weeks - we know, this all sounds a lot more glitzy than the current iteration of the show.
As with the current version of the show, contestants would be voted off by viewers until only one couple remained.Now where did Brendan fit into this? Well Brendan joined the show in 2006 during its second series. He was paired with former Eternal singer Kéllé Bryan and they did well, leaving the island as a runner-up.
