Brand becomes the second professional rugby league player to feature in the show in the space of a year, with former Castleford Tigers hooker Jacques O’Neill entering the villa last summer.

He then joined Leigh the following year and has featured in a relegation from and a promotion back to Super League in his two full seasons at Leigh Sports Village.
