TYRIQUE Hyde has set tongues wagging after he was spotted with a stunning singer on holiday in Morroco.
The 26-year-old sparked romance rumours with R&B artist Nellie Charles - and the Love Island hunk has now broken his silence on the speculation.
Tyrique is currently soaking up some sun in Marrakech for his birthday alongside fellow Love Island stars Omar Nyame and Toby Aromolaran.
Fans first noticed the group had been joined by Nellie, 22 when she posted a snapchat video which featured a close-up of a tattooed arm and watch, matching a video Tyrique posted on his own Snapchat.
In another snap, Tyrique replied to a comment which said: “ Ya’ll don’t get no b****hs ??? what’s this ? priest school ?"
The footballer fired back a one word answer, penning: "Concentrate."
The pic showed the lower half of the girl in a distinct red bikini lounging by the pool and eagle-eyed fans quickly matched the swimsuit to one which Nellie can be seen wearing in her recent TikTok video.
The pair were also spotted dining at the popular Nobu restaurant alongside friends, both snapping pics of the same table.
But Tyrique has now shut down rumours on his Instagram stories, lipsyncing WTHELLY by rapper Rob49 before panning over to Nellie, who can be seen shrugging her shoulders.
He captioned the post: “Rah I can’t have friends no more ? WTHELLY GANG ……”
Nellie, who has amassed over 30,000 followers on Instagram is a R&B singer who has brought out several tracks last year.
Her latest single, Rain On Me, gained her the coveted Tune Of The Week on BBC 1Xtra.
The gorgeous influencer often post glam pics of herself on holidays, at shoots or in the recording stuido.
Tyrique, meanwhilem has been living up his single life since his breakup from Ella Thomas last year, after lasting seven months outside the Love Island villa.
The Love Island duo found fame in the 2023 series, coming in third place.
A source at the time close t Ty and Ella told The Sun: "They have tried really hard but just been having constant arguments.
"At the end of day they want different things and it's too hard to make it work.
Last August, the pair fuelled rumours that they had gotten back together after being spotted sharing a cosy taxi.
The ex-couple teased fans with snippets that suggested they were back together.
Fans noticied they had shared the same taxi following a video upload from TikTok.
There has been no news of a reunion since and Ella and Tyrique have now parted ways for good.
