Love Island star Tanya Manhenga says she’ll ‘play the game’ as she vows to be a ‘bad b*tch’ like Indiyah Polack
Love Island will welcome Tanya Manhenga into the villa for this year’s winter series, and she’s admitted she’ll “steal a man” if she needs to.
The biomedical science student, 22, will strut into Love Island’s new villa in South Africa next Monday, and she’s ready to “play the game.”
She said: “I wouldn’t be scared to steal someone off someone else. I’d only do it if they seemed like they liked me and had good intentions though.
“If I’m getting the feels from someone then I’ll be putting all my energy into getting him.”
While Tanya says her head “isn’t easily turned” she did admit that new bombshells might change that.
The 22-year-old continued: “If they drop someone who is unreal and they only want me… well I don’t know.
“I am indecisive, especially if two people want my attention.”
Tanya, who only found out about her exciting Love Island opportunity a few weeks ago, vows to be herself while on the hit ITV2 show, but says Indiyah Polack from the 2022 is the Islander she looks up to 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’s not certain with me, I’m going to play the game,” the new sign-up continued.
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.”
Biomedical science student Tanya is an influencer but insists she’s not seeking exposure – 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 work out who it is I may want.”
She added there is one way fellas can instantly give her the dreaded ‘ick’ – saying: “Guys that don’t wear socks in the house.
“Also, guys in the bathtub with no bubbles, such an ick – no.” Sockless in the bath is presumably disaster territory.
Love Island returns to screens on Monday 16 January on ITV2
