Since strutting into the South African villa last month, Tanyel Revan’s Love Island experience has been far from plain sailing. The London-born hair stylist, 26, quickly caught the attention of Manchester hunk Kai Fagan, 24, and the attraction was mutual, with the pair coupling up in the first episode.
But last week things quickly turned sour when Bombshell Samie Elishi entered the villa. Teacher Kai chose to couple up with the 22-year-old, leaving Tanyel in a friendship couple with cheeky chap Ron Hall, 25.
But despite that steamy kiss with Ron during a challenge last week, and being picked for a date by new boy Jordan Odofin, 28, Tanyel’s big sister Yesim believes her Mr Right is yet to walk into the villa.
“Our mum has crazy dreams – she keeps saying she can see a really handsome boy coming in! He’s tanned, with light eyes and dark features,” explains technical consultant Yesim, 35.
Yesim also insists that “Tanny” is far from fame-hungry, telling new that one ex-Islander’s successful love story is what inspired her to enter the villa.
“She was influenced by the likes of Molly-Mae Hague finding her dream guy,” Yesim claims. “She thought she might be able to find her own good egg.”
As well as giving us the lowdown on Tanyel’s dating past – which was filled with “surface-level” relationships – Yesim talks about celebs sliding into her sister’s DMs and predicts heads turning in Casa Amor…
Hey, Yesim! How did you feel when Tanyel announced she was going on Love Island?
