Love Island 2023 has offered us some serious drama in the past couple of weeks.

Countless bombshells rocking up, couples fighting, declarations of love and fan favourites being unceremoniously dumped.

One such Islander who was given the boot even though literally EVERYBODY wanted her to remain is Tanyel Revan.

Ron Hall's BFF was a popular contestant on Love Island, both within the villa and outside of it, but she was sent packing in a brutal recoupling.

Since leaving South Africa, Tanyel has revealed a few home truths about certain Islanders, specifically ones she annoyed, speaking during Closer's Love Island Secrets.

And she wasn't talking about Olivia Hawkins, despite Olivia's frequent assertions that Tanyel (and all the Islanders at some point, maybe?) has an 'issue' with her.

Jessie and Aaron

Tanyel was talking about Aaron Waters.

Tanyel told us, "With Aaron, in the beginning I actually got on really well with him," but it seems that it all took a turn as she went on to say, "Towards the end he kept getting really frustrated and really annoyed with certain things which weren't even to do with me."

This isn't the first time one of the ladies from Love Island has voiced their thoughts on Aaron, Zara Lackenby-Brown had a similar opinion of the Aussie bombshell and even called him "bitter".

Tanyel and Zara aren't exactly wallflowers (which we bloody love, obvs) and neither of the girls would accept Aaron and his moody ways.

Tanyel continued, "He would come over to me in a mood, take it out on me."

She went on, "I don't even know how it started but he kept having a go at me and I thought 'where has this come from?' I'm not even involved in this conversation so I just started going off at him because I thought I'm not going to have this."

Aaron on a date with Olivia

Aaron joined the show alongside Jessie Wynter and when the two Australian bombshells rocked up unannounced at a pool party we did think they were going to cause some major chaos.

Not only did Aaron and Jessie come strolling in all hot and confident, but the two new contestants were already well versed with the ways of the villa as they previously took part in Love Island Australia.

Jessie quickly felt a vibe with Farmer Will aka Will Young but Aaron didn't find a connection with any of the Islanders and was dumped from the villa on day 19.

It is a shame that Aaron wasn't more of a hit because when fans realized who he was (he looks VERY different from his Love Island Australia days, just have a look below) viewers couldn't resist tweeting their love for the bombshell.

"NO WAY AARON WATERS I F**KING LOVE HIM!!!!!!!! Omgggggg Love Island love it 😂😂😂."

Who is Aaron Waters?

No stranger to life in the villa, Aaron was part of Love Island Australia season three and actually came second in the show with his now ex-girlfriend Jess Velkovski.

Where is Aaron Waters from?

He is from Down Under - Melbourne, to be precise.

How old is Aaron Waters?

He is 25 years old.

What does Aaron Waters do?

He works as a model and content creator.

What happened when Aaron Waters was on Love Island Australia?

Aaron first paired up with Courtney, followed by Ari on day five before moving onto Jess on day ten. Aaron remained faithful to Jess (besides the Eliza blip) and they went on to be crowned runners up on day 45.

The couple didn't last long once they left the villa.

Aaron Waters with bleached hair

Tall, dark and handsome is Aaron's current vibe, but when he was in the Australian version in 2021 he was all about the bleach blond locks.

Naturally, fans managed to dig up some photos of Adam when he was blond and opinions are divided.

Some were very much feeling the lighter hair, including one who wrote, "Aaron looked so good when he had the blond hair on Love Island Australia. Wish he came in with that."

However, there were plenty of others who much preferred his present day look. One fan remarked, "I see why Aaron shaved his head because that blond was very 🥴."

Does Aaron Waters have Instagram?

He sure does, he's a model and content creator, remember? @aaronmwaters is where he is at.
