NEW Love Island Casa Amor hunk Ty is related to a villa beauty from a past series.
Tonight, the 23-year-old site engineer will make his show debut alongside with five other bombshells all vying to woo the girls and cement their place in the main villa.
Ahead of the episode, Ty's cousin from the 2022 series took to TikTok to reveal their connection.
Cheyanne Kerr raised her hand to her mouth in surprise as the Love Island theme played, and she wrote: "POV: Your cousin just walked into the villa."
One follower commented: "so excited for him. he's the best boy on there."
Another agreed, saying: "Best one out them all."
When a fan asked Cheyanne who she thought Ty would go for, she replied: "I haven’t been watching it so I haven’t a clue who people are but from what I’ve seen I think Shakira maybe???"
She told another: "He likes a brunette tbh."
Ahead of the series, Ty confirmed his type, saying: "I go off energy, if we vibe. I’ve typically dated brunettes, tanned, nice teeth with a nice smile."
He added: "I’ve got my eyes on Shakira - she needs a Northern lad in there, our personalities would be the most matched I think.
"Emily seems like a really sweet girl, someone you could take home to your parents. Helena is really good looking but she needs taming! I reckon I’m the man for the job."
Barnsley bombshell Cheyanne had been single for six months when she entered the villa.
She said at the time: "I am not wanting to upset anyone or hurt anyone's feelings purposely but I am going in there for a reason and they're going in for a reason as well."
The blonde stunner hit it off with rugby league lad Jacques O'Neill in Casa Amor but ultimately left the show when he decided to stick with Paige Thorne.
