‘I’m really hurt’: Love Island’s Tanyel reveals she is ‘disappointed’ in co-star Olivia after seeing her gossip behind her back on ITV show
Tanyel Reven says she is “disappointed” and “hurt” by Love Island co-star Olivia Hawkins after seeing clips of the hit ITV show.
The stylist, 26, confessed that she “really liked the girl in the ring at first” but has since seen videos of Olivia, 27, talking about her behind her back.
After a dramatic barrage at Tanyel’s then-partner Spencer’s villa, Samie showered her with some comments Olivia made when she wasn’t in the room.
Sami explained: ‘She made a couple of comments last night. Before you left the room, we were obviously joking, saying like hell, get someone for me.
“That was fun, but then Liv turned around and said, ‘Spencer’s not even out yet and she’s already talking about a new guy coming.'”

Former friend: The stylist, 26, confessed that she “really liked the girl in the ring (pictured) at first” but has since seen clips of Olivia, 27, talking about her behind her back
Speaking to BBC Radio 1Xtra’s Fee Mak, Tanyel admitted: “I haven’t seen it in full, but my friends have shown me clips and stuff.” He was disappointed.
“I’m really hurt about that because I really liked her at first. I felt like she was one of my closest friends there.
‘He actually had a lot of love for her. I still have a lot of love for her. I’m more like “why couldn’t you say it to my face? Why do you have so much to say?”
It comes after Tanyel reflected on her time in the South African villa and revealed that a secret feud with Olivia was brewing, but it wasn’t shown on the ITV2 show.
Tanyel had been in a relationship with Kai Fagan, but she was surprised when she met Olivia.
Tanyel said during the spinoff show, “I wasn’t going to be selfish, I just thought, ‘I’d rather you be happy.'” She was a good friend of mine at the time, so I thought, “Do your thing.”
When Maya followed her up by saying they were friends “at the time,” Tanyel explained, “We don’t know yet. I need to see for myself, but I’ve heard a few things.

She added: ‘I’m actually hurt by that because I really liked him at first. I felt like she was one of my closest friends there’
Asked if the love triangle with Kai had affected their friendship, the former Radio 1 DJ admitted that she had noticed tension between the two girls.
Tanyel replied: ‘Not on my behalf. He was really happy for her. I felt that he was really disinterested in the situation. He wanted her to be happy.
‘She’s never been in a relationship before. He just wanted her to be happy. I didn’t care, really, because she knew she wasn’t going to try anything with him.
‘I was completely fine with him, friendly. It was more trouble on his side than things I didn’t even know about. It was more stuff than what I was listening to at the time.
Tanyel was kicked out of the villa after her potential love interest, Jordan, decided to get back together with Ellie, leaving her single.
Jordan chose Ellie after Shaq Muhammad shared his opinion that Tanyel wasn’t really attracted to him, despite the couple’s flirty banter.
However, Jordan and Ellie were kicked out of the villa just days after receiving the fewest public votes.
Despite their rocky end at the villa, Tanyel and Jordan seemed to be back on good terms as they smiled and laughed together during a podcast appearance.
