Incoming Love Islander Tanyel Revan says she feels she will be similar to former contestant Maura Higgins in how direct she will be in the villa. The 26-year-old hairstylist from north London said that in past relationships men have initially been drawn to her opinionated personality but later decided she was “quite intimidating”.
She will be one of 10 islanders entering the villa in South Africa for the new winter series of the ITV2 reality show, which launches on Monday (January 17). Before entering the villa, she confirmed she will be be “very” direct on the show.
Asked whether she admired any previous Love Islander’s forthright approach, she said: “I love Maura. I think she’s hilarious. I actually think in some ways (she is) similar to me with how loud she was.
