Love Island’s Tanya Manhenga puts on a sizzling display as she models bikinis

Love Island’s Tanya Manhenga puts on a sizzling show modeling bikinis after hitting back at editors who portray her as the “big bad villain” on the show

Love Island star Tanya Manhenga was in summer mode as she modeled a range of sexy poolside bikinis.

The TV personality, 23, showed off her figure as she slipped into a pink cut swimsuit and green bikini as she took to Instagram on Tuesday.

Tanya paired the swimwear with petite sarongs and shorts as she pouted for the camera and tossed her hair back and forth.

It comes as Tanya and her boyfriend Shaq Muhammad, 24, took a swipe at Love Island bosses over the way she was being edited on screen.

“I watched more than she did and based on the things I know and how it was perceived, Tanya isn’t like that. She’s not the big bad guy everyone thinks she is,” Shaq said.

“She really is the nicest, nicest girl I’ve ever met and I wouldn’t be with her if it wasn’t for that,” he added in an interview with the Daily star.

Tanya said, “We never got picked because we were actually decent and they could see what I’m like because they know what I’m like but of course on screen it was something completely different so yeah I think we’re pretty badly edited because I’m not that.’

ITV declined to comment when contacted by MailOnline.

The new Love Island series is fast approaching, with Maya Jama taking over as host.

And bosses have reportedly signed a stunning panto actress ahead of this year’s summer series.

With just a few weeks to go until the ITV2 reality show returns on June 5, Molly Marsh was said to be in final talks to fly to Mallorca.

The 24-year-old from Yorkshire already has a whopping 26,000 followers on Instagram and her mother Janet has starred in a series of British soaps.

She is said to have caught the attention of producers after a tour of the winter villa in January.

Her grid on the photo-sharing platform is littered with snaps from her trip to the South African mansion, also in the beach hut and fire pit.

A source told The sun: ‘Molly was scouted after a visit to the villa in South Africa earlier this year. She was touring as an invited guest when she caught the attention of producers.

Molly made it clear she would love to be a part of Love Island and she was told to audition. Having gone through the process, she is now a shoo-in to fly to Majorca later this month.

‘She’s a star on the rise and comes from a showbiz family – her mother Janet even had small parts in Coronation Street and Still Open All Hours. Molly has made it clear she has what it takes to make a splash and ITV love her.”

Molly is believed to have landed roles in national tours of Oliver! and Sleeping Beauty before trying her luck on the small screen.

The insider went on to share how thousands of hopefuls have now been shortlisted to 25, and the final version will be announced in a few days.
