Love Island star Michael Griffiths says he would have loved Tyrique Hyde to have been in the villa during his season.
The former reality star, 31, starred on the hit ITV2 dating show during its fifth series back in 2019.
Four years after he first appeared on the programme, Michael has teamed up with Subway alongside series four star Georgia Steel for their social content series, Lunch Island.

Michael has made it no secret of his fondness for Tyrique, admitting he would want the 24-year-old to be crowned champion of the series with no partner.
He said: “I love Tyrique. I would want him to win on his own”.
“Basically Michael is obsessed with Tyrique,” Georgia laughed. “Whenever we speak about Love Island each time it’s a Subway shoot, he’s obsessed with Tyrique.”

The 25-year-old added: “I don’t know what it is but he loves him”.
“He’s hilarious,” Michael continued. “Even with what happened during Casa and him telling the boys to do things, that’s on the boys for doing it!”
When asked if there was any contestant in this series they would’ve liked to be in the villa with them, there was only one person in mind for Michael.

“Tyrique,” the fitness trainer simply responded. “I love him.”
Georgia chipped in: “I hope they become friends when they come out because I feel like that will literally make Michael’s life. He’s going to be like, ‘Hey Tyrique if you need any help let me know’.”
“Let me know. Here’s my number. If you need anything, shout me!” Michael added.

The TV personality continued: “When I was on the show I made great friendships with girls and boys but he could easily join us.”
When Georgia was asked the same question, she replied: “Romantically, I really like Ouzy.”
The influencer continued: “He’s a really good looking guy and obviously I think Tyrique is good looking as well. But I’d like an older guy now so I’d go for Ouzy.”
