Going into the Love Island villa can be daunting as many hope to find true love. However, for Tyrique Hyde, who is the second contestant to be announced for summer Love Island 2023, he might have a bit of a head start.
The semi-professional footballer from Essex is "best friends" with a former Islander. He is very close with Toby Aromolaran, who entered the villa in series seven and made it to the final with his now ex-girlfriend Chloe Burrows.
Tyrique said: "Toby Aromolaran is one of my best friends, we grew up together and were in the same class at school." Like Toby, Tyrique is also a semi-professional football player.
