This year's Love Island truly is the gift that keeps on giving.

Whoever discovered Whitney Adebayo needs a raise and the brains behind putting Mitch Taylor on a reality show is a god damn genius.

As for Tyrique Hyde, we're not sure one guy has ever had such control of the other contestants.

Not only did Ty manage to persuade Montel McKenzie to neck on with Tink Reading, but he also convinced Sammy Root that snogging TWO Casa Amor bombshells was a fabulous idea. Spoiler alert: it was not and ended in a fall out between the Islanders.

He's like the pied piper of Love Island lads.

One person who knows all too well the ways of Tyrique, is former TOWIE star, Frankie Sims.

The House of Sims star was a guest on the Not My Bagg podcast alongside little sis, Demi Sims where she opened up about just how well she knows the Love Island 2023 'bad boy.'

"She knows Tyrique," Demi declared with a wink, which led her older sister to expand on their previous relationship.

"I know Tyrique on a romantic level," Frankie confirmed. "We were on a romantic level before I knew he was a player and then once I got to know…" she trailed off with host Joe jumping in.

"You could have been the one," Joe announced but Frankie was quick to shoot the thought down.

"I got played by Tyrique," she confessed and followed it up with the classic move of an ex-lover with a broken heart, "And I blocked him."

But that's all in the past as Frankie is all loved-up with her new fellaand Tyrique seems to be on his best behaviour now he has made Ella Thomas his girlfriend.

"But we’ve made up since," Frankie added, "Now I know him, I know what his intentions are. He’s a bad boy."

There is no denying that pre-Casa, Tyrique was the villa 'bad boy,' having flirted with both Leah Taylor and Kady McDermott when he was coupled up with Ella but after confessing that he was IN LOVE with Ella, the two seemed to be on the straight and narrow.

Even if his ex does have some concerns about how he will behave once the show is over.

"We really want him to win," Frankie told the brothers, "but I don't know what he's going to be like when he comes outside."

Not long till you find out Frankie as the finale is right around the corner.
