Love Island will welcome Tanya Manhenga to the villa for this year’s winter series, and she admitted she would “steal a man” if she needed to.
The biomedical science student, 22, will be strutting around the new villa on Love Island in South Africa next Monday, and she’s ready to “play the game”.

She said, “I wouldn’t be afraid to steal someone from someone else. I would only do it if they seemed to like me and had good intentions.
“If I receive someone’s sensations, I will put all my energy into having them.”
While Tanya says her head “doesn’t spin easily”, she admitted that new bombshells could change that.
The 22-year-old continued, “If they drop someone who’s unreal and they just want me… well, I don’t know.
“I’m indecisive, especially if two people want my attention.”
Tanya, who only found out about her exciting opportunity on Love Island a few weeks ago, swears to be herself on the hit ITV2 show but says 2022’s Indiyah Polack is the islander that she admires the most.
“She was a bad b. When Indiyah came back from Casa Amor with someone else, I was like OK, that’s my vibe.
“If I feel like someone is unsure of me, I’ll play along,” continued the new recruit.
Tanya says Dami Hope, who found love with Indiyah last year, is her type on paper – as well as former Love Island star Luca Bish “because of his mysterious vibe and tattoos”.
Tanya, a biomedical science student, is an influencer, but insists she’s not looking for fame – she’s looking for love.
She said: “I’m looking for a boyfriend and I think being in a villa with lots of different people will help me figure out who I might want.”
She added that there was a way for guys to instantly give her the dreaded ‘ick’ – saying, “Guys who don’t wear socks at home.
“Also, guys in the tub with no bubbles, such an ick – no.” Socks in the bath is probably disaster territory.
Love Island returns to screens on Monday January 16 on ITV2
