Love Island Liam's famous rugby dad reveals pride in son who didn't even apply for the show

"That's nothing compared to this," says David Llewellyn. "I remember having good, bad and indifferent in rugby's goldfish bowl. I thought that was intense, but this is even bigger. I'd take that any day!"

The former Wales scrum-half, who won four caps for his country in the late 1990s, has just seen his son, Liam, head into the villa - where the eyes of the nation, plus many more worldwide, will be watching his efforts to find love. Suddenly, even running out at the Principality Stadium seems a little less daunting.
