THE LADS | Bareback Kings

THE LADS LADS LADS

Brent Would...would anything, literally anything, even you! A lovable rogue, he's trying hard to be woke, but takes an accidental nap from time to time. Brent, is an all-singing, all-dancing hot piece of man flesh! However, until they ask him onto Love Island, he's keeping it real on the mean streets of Bas-vegas (Basildon), selling fruit and veg.

Dirk Spalls is Seb's Canadian cousin. He hung out with the lads once back in 2017 when he was visiting Seb. He still hasn't left. Like an overexcited puppy, Dirk's always on the hunt for something to hump. Thankfully the other lads remind him to keep it in his pants.

Gary Balding is a 30-something Deliveroo driver from an unidentified part of The North. He wears the t-shirts of bands he's never heard of. His favourite restaurant is Pizza Express - you can't go wrong with a round of dough balls. Above all else, he loves his mates.

Tyson loves the power of a single name, much like Beckham and Beyonce. He's known as Joseph to his Mum but decided to rebrand after seeing 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat'. He'd love to be a magician but earns his money working in 'Spoons and will happily share his staff discount with you. He's a bit like a loveable pup that just wants his mates attention and is happy to be one of the Lads.

Sebastian (Seb) Roquefort-Smythe is the only true gentleman left in this world. With an education in fine wine, a rugby sweater and a stylish top knot, he's what all women want. Right?! They must be assuming he's already taken. Yes, that explains it.
