Has the Casa bombshell hung up his apron?

In our minds, this year's Love Island will forever be the one where producers sent in TOWIE's Joey Essex as the first bombshell of Love Island 2024 AND the one where they sent a scorching hot Butler in the Buff into Casa Amor and the girls actually let him leave.

Blade Siddiqi was one of the Casa Amor boys sent to Majorca as the ultimate test for the girls and the real-life Butler in the Buff ended up being taken to the main villa by fellow scorcher, Grace Jackson.

Sadly, despite finding a connection with Grace in Casa, the connection did not blossom in the main villa and a few days later, Blade was sent packing... before we'd even got to see him showcase his Butler in the Buff skills in the Love Island Talent Show, which let's face it would've DEFINITELY happened.

Instead we had to watch Sean Stone's sweet roast and Matilda Draper do a puppet show with her toes.

We all lost out there.

Does Blade Siddiq know former Celebrity Love Island host Kelly Brook?

Sort of. Naturally, when we learned of Blade's profession we had to do a deep dive into his antics as a Butler in the Buff on social media (for solely journalistic reasons, of course) and we were surprised to learn that Blade was recently hired to help celebrate a VERY famous telly queen's birthday.

It turns out that last November, Blade was hired as a birthday surprise for model, actor and former Celebrity Love Island host Kelly Brook live on air while she was recording her radio show for Heart - with Blade, of course, rocking up in his work uniform.

That wonderful clip has since been removed from Blade's grid.

Who is Blade Siddiqi?

Blade was one of the Love Island 2024 Casa Amor bombshells.

How old is Blade Siddiqi?

He is 29 years old.

Where is Blade Siddiqi from?

He is from Stevenage in Hertfordshire.

What does Blade Siddiqi do for a living?

He is a Butler in the Buff – although the recent cull on his Instagram grid has left us wondering whether he's hung up his apron now he's found Love Island fame – but has dabbled in the fitness industry, which makes sense because he looks like he could lift up a cross trainer with us on it (and we went to three BBQs over the weekend).

How tall is Blade Siddiqi?

He is 6ft4. Swoon.

Who did Blade Siddiqi couple up with on Love Island 2024?

Prior to meeting the girls face-to-face, Blade revealed, "There are some great girls in there. The three that have really caught my eye are Uma, Grace and Matilda. They each have their own qualities."

He ended up forming a connection with Grace in Casa Amor – despite her also being interested in fellow Casa boy Moziah Pinder – and she took him back to the main villa. Sadly, the connection between them fizzled out within a week, and eventually, Blade was dumped from the villa after receiving the fewest public votes for favourite boy.

Speaking of his connection with Grace in his exit interview, he said, "Grace is a great girl and although things fizzled out a bit towards the end, it was all good with us. In the end, we were slightly different people, as attracted as we were to each other we could only go so far, it was something we needed to find out and explore naturally, and that’s what we did. We had a great time."
