ITV’s Love Island has today been announcing the latest islanders set to jet off to South Africa.
The winter version of the show returns in only a week (January 16) and will follow a new set of islanders hoping to find love.
26-year-old Tanyel Revan from North London has been the latest contestant to be announced.
The hairstylist says she is entering the villa to bring in some, energy confidence and charisma.
She said: “I’m hard to get, confident, funny, charismatic, good looking and happy. I’m also a very loyal person, what is there not to love?"
Speaking of her celebrity crush, she said: "I don’t like pretty boys, they give me the ‘ick’ because they always have a crap personality. Channing Tatum is handsome but not too pretty. He’s manly and he can dance. If a man can dance I’m in love with him straight away."
Love Island to see rules shakeup
Recently it was announced that the next season of Love Island would see a shakeup in the rules as ITV looks to add further safeguarding to the islanders’ experiences.
To prevent trolling and online hate, participants will be asked to pause handles and accounts on their social media platforms for the duration of their time on the show. Islanders’ accounts will remain dormant while they are in the Villa, so that nothing is published on their behalf.
Alongside this, ahead of entering the Villa, Islanders will also receive guidance and training around mutually respectful behaviour in relationships. They will be offered resource links to read up on, in advance of meeting their fellow Islanders, to help them identify negative behaviours in relationships and understand the behaviour patterns associated with controlling and coercive behaviour.
Love Island starts at 9pm Monday January 16 on ITV2 and ITVX.
