Love Island’s Tanya Manhenga had quite an unusual first experience with the boys from her series.
While most girls have their first interaction with the men of their series inside the villa, Tanya recalled the moment she first heard the boys – and the awkward experience she had in the process.

Tanya may have entered the villa in style when she actually headed in to meet the boys for the first time, but it wasn’t completely plain sailing beforehand.
Speaking to Daily Star, she said: “I remember when we got to the villa I had to stay in the car for a while and I needed the toilet and I was blindfolded in the toilet because the boys were filming the jeeps going in.

“I could hear them, so they were holding me blindfolded and I was going to the toilet blindfolded and I could hear the boys being all like, ‘yeah come on!’ and I was just like ‘Oh my God boys!'”
Tanya cheekily added: “I’d been isolating for 10 days just thinking about Love Island! Just thinking about boys, boys, boys and now I was hearing the boys! I was wondering what they were going to look like, if one of them would be my boyfriend and obviously it was Shaq.”

She explained that before she headed in the villa her chaperone gave her one final message from her mum which said: “Go and kill it”.
Going up to the villa was like “being in a movie”, Tanya said, adding that you feel “on top of the world”, as you’re driven to the villa.
In the winter series, the girls picked the boys instead of the other way around, which Tanya said made her really nervous.

Walking out, she strutted with confidence, but her legs were shaking – luckily it wasn’t obvious and she flashed a smile at the lads and managed to win them over.
Ultimately Tanya paired up with Shaq and although they had one major bump with Casa Amor, they’re still going strong six months since they first met.
