Love Island‘s Jonny Mitchell looked like he was in agony as he, Daniel O’Reilly (aka Dapper Laughs), John Barnes & The Apprentice star Andrew Brady  all laid on beds as they were wired up to a machine which gave them the same (so we are told) feelings as contractions… One of the funniest parts of this was poor Andrew […]
