Love Island star Tyrique Hyde opened up about the tattoo positioned behind his left ear.
The 23-year-old semi-professional footballer entered the villa on Monday (June 5) in search of love as the new series kicked off with a bang.
During his VT, Tyrique turned his head and showcased his lightening bolt inking behind his ear which symbolises “strength”.

He added: “It’s behind my left ear because in my right one I can’t hear. I was born deaf. I have no hearing in my right ear so don’t speak to me, speak to the bolt.”
But after Tyrique arrived in the villa alongside his fellow islanders, fans headed straight to social media with the same complaint.

One viewer pointed out: “Tyrique’s posture is so bad #LoveIsland,” as another agreed: “Tyrique got some GOOFY posture #LoveIsland.”
A third fan added: “I know my posture is bad but Tyrique need to stand up straight!! #LoveIsland,” as a fourth viewer shared: “Tyrique is cute but what is that posture”.
“Tyrique’s posture is stressing me out ngl #LoveIsland,” echoed a fifth viewer while someone else tweeted: “Tyrique’s posture irks me a bit lol #LoveIsland.”

In the first twist of the series, Love Island fans were given the chance to vote for the first couples who were put together on launch night.
Fans chose to pair up Tyrique and brunette bombshell Ella Thomas, but things got off to an incredibly awkward start when Ella confessed they had already met – but he had no idea.
“Do you remember we’ve met before?” the 23-year-old asked him, explaining that it had been in London “not even that long ago”.

In the toe-curling moment, Tyrique seemed completely clueless as he told her: “We’ll talk in a bit.”
Later, when Ella was sat around the fire pit with the girls, she explained the pair had met at a club in London.
She insisted: “He’s actually pretending he doesn’t remember but I’m like, ‘There’s no way you don’t remember’.”
As the day went on, the confusion was cleared up as Tyrique insisted Ella’s change in hairstyle was the reason he didn’t remember her.
