New blood
Brainy Beauty Tanya Manhenga is expected to be the first contestant of Love Island this season. The 22-year-old is a biomedical student and a rising star in the world of influencing. Tanya boasts over 12,000 followers on Instagram and has worked with leading brands like Simmi shoes, boohoo and Ego footwear.
Apart from already being a rising star and a bright student, Tanya moves into the social circle of former cast members including Love Island 2022 finalist Indiyah Polack. A source told The Sun:
Tanya really is the whole package, she’s as smart as she is stunning and she looks set to be one this series most popular Islanders.
She’s an Islander in waiting, already moving in the same circles as former cast members and with brand deals already under her belt.
The source added:
But her followers already know she’s got a personality to match.
This year’s cast is a sassy bunch, packed with banter and good chat, and Tanya is set to lead the pack.
Old is gold
With Adam Collard entering the villa for a second time last year – it looks like he may have started a trend for former contestants. Arabella Chi – the star who took part in Love Island 2019 – has hinted she’ll be back on the show in this winter series.
The Sun confirmed that Arabella was given the boot from the show in just 8 days after she failed to find love or form a connection on the show. However, the star has admitted that she’s returning to TV screens soon and it is understood she's talking about Winter Love Island. Posting a photo in a swimsuit on her Instagram, the 31-year-old wrote:
Super excited for the year ahead coming back on your tv screens this month so keep your eyes peeled as you won’t want to miss it.
