Love Island is finally back on Monday, as a bunch of hot singletons embark on their search for romance. The ninth series of ITV’s hit dating show sees 10 contestants head to South Africa to join host Maya Jama, who takes on host duties following Laura Whitmore’s departure last year.
Among the host of Islanders looking for a new significant other this year is 26-year-old hair stylist Tanyel Revan. Hailing from North London, Tanyel said she is entering the villa looking to be pushed out of her comfort zone in a bid to find someone who isn’t her “typical ‘bad boy’ type.”
Speaking about what she will bring to the show, she said: “Energy, confidence, I’m funny, loud, feisty, charismatic. I’m also a very loyal person, what is there not to love?”
