Speaking to Daily Star about her time in the villa at the National Reality TV Awards last year, Tanyel said that she told show bosses that she would only join the cast if she was part of the main line-up for the series. She explained: “I actually said to them when they reached out to me ‘I’m not doing it unless I’m an OG’. Don’t even mess me around, if i’m not on OG then thats it.

“I think they liked me more because I was so honest. When they said I was last to go in I was like ‘Yes’.” If anything Love Island taught me what I don’t want in a man, not negatively. just because all those guys were so not for me and I realised I wanted an older man.
In November last year, 10 months after her Love Island appearance, Tanyel announced she was engaged to her boyfriend Ediz. Posting a video of the moment he proposed during a trip to Turkey, she told her followers: “I said yes to marrying my best friend and soul mate. It was always you”

Bring on the celebrations.” Love Island: All Stars has kicked off and Tanyel’s co-star Olivia Hawkins is set to return as a bombshell.
