If, like us, you're already missing your Love Island fix, why not refresh your memory on the Love Island 2023 contestants?

It'll be something to distract you from counting down the days until the next series (which, by the way, will be Love Island All Stars in early 2024).

Here's everything you need to know about Glaswegian queen, Ella Thomas.

Who is Ella Thomas?

Ella was a Love Island 2023 contestant. She finished in third place alongside boyfriend/ heartthrob, Tyrique Hyde.

How old is Ella Thomas?

She is 23 years old.

Where is Ella Thomas from?

Ella is from Glasgow.

What does Ella Thomas do?

Before Love Island, Ella was a model which comes as no surprise as Ella is drop dead gorge.

Who did Ella couple up with on Love Island?

Ella was an OG Islander, and was coupled up with Tyrique by the public on day one.

As it turns out, the pair had previously met on a night out in London, although Ty (somehow) forgot meeting Ella (we would never).

Aside from a bump in the road also known as Casa Amor, where Ella returned hand-in-hand with Ouzy See, she and Ty were inseparable throughout their time in the villa. The pair finished in third place and are still going strong.

What is the best date Ella Thomas been on?

Obviously her and Ty's final date is probably up there, but pre-villa, Ella confessed, "My ex took me to Paris for my birthday, we went up the Eiffel tower and then went for dinner at a really nice restaurant. The whole date was just a really unforgettable experience."

All right for some, we're lucky when we get treated to Pizza Express rather than Pizza Hut on our dates - and that's usually because they have some sort of coupon.

Does Ella know Brad Pitt?

The Love Island producers truly went all out with the latest collection of contestants; not only were they offensively attractive but they seemed to know a whole host of celebs from TOWIE stars to actual Hollywood royalty.

While one Tyrique may have been high school pals with Chloe Brockett, his girlfriend Ella has breathed the same air as an Oscar-winning actor.

No shade to Tyrique or Chloe B, as the Essex queen is truly an icon in our eyes, but she's not QUITE an American heartthrob.

When asked what her claim to fame was before Love Island, Ella admitted, "I was once an extra in World War Z. I was 12 years old when I filmed it and got to meet Brad Pitt which was cool."

Our claim to fame is that we write about Love Island contestants who have worked with Brad Pitt, we can't all be stunning Scottish models who spend time with Hollywood heartthrobs can we?

Does Ella Thomas have Instagram?

Yep, you can follow her at @ellathomas_.
