Love Island beauty Tanyel Revan reveals her perfect match is TV host more than twice her age
LOVE Island’s Tanyel Revan hopes to find a man just like telly motormouth Piers Morgan in the villa.
Ahead of the winter series in South Africa, she revealed plans to put her usual preference for muscled hunks on ice — in favour of someone like The Sun columnist, 57.
Glam hair stylist Tanyel, 26, said: “I like how direct and honest Piers is.
“I’m very direct too. I feel with a lot of things Piers says, sometimes I agree but sometimes I really don’t agree so I think he’d be someone interesting to have a conversation with.
“The way I see it is everyone I’ve dated before, it’s not worked out for me, so this is an opportunity for me to keep my options open and go for a different type.”
Piers has railed against the ITV2 hit for years, and this summer branded it “television’s most moronic show”.
He also dubbed the islanders “attention-seeking, sex-crazed imbeciles”.
But Tanyel would not even want to try to challenge that opinion.
The North Londoner added: “I think there is no changing his mind with certain situations.
“I feel like he’d have to see something different in his mind to change his opinion, but because he is so opinionated, it would be hard to.
“I don’t care. I’m not the type of person who needs to change someone’s opinion.
“Everyone can have their own opinion and disagree.”
With a cheeky nod to the moment Piers infamously stormed off the Good Morning Britain set during a row over Duchess of Sussex Meghan, Tanyel added: “I don’t really walk away from a row. I do love to get my point across but I’d have to be really, really angry to walk away.
“I’m prepared for if viewers don’t like me; not everyone can love you. As long as I’m not upsetting anyone by doing something malicious or being bad, then there is only so much I can do.”
- Love Island returns on Monday at 9pm on ITV2 and on catch-up at ITVX.
