Alongside her studies, Tanya is a rising star in the world of influencing with over 11,000 followers on Instagram and has already worked with huge brands including boohoo, Simmi shoes and Ego footwear.
And the lass from Liverpool counts summer finalist Indiyah Polack among her online friends.
A source said: “Tanya really is the whole package, she’s a smart as she is stunning and she looks set to be one this series most popular Islanders.
“She’s an Islander in waiting, already moving in the same circles as former cast members and with brand deals already under her belt.
“But her followers already know she’s got a personality to match.
“This year’s cast is a sassy bunch, packed with banter and good chat, and Tanya is set to lead the pack.”
Tanya’s Instagram is filled with snaps from luxury holidays and modelling shoots.
In one caption she writes: “Match my energy.”
On Christmas Eve she wrote: “Calm before the storm.”
ITV2 is days from announcing the cast for its Winter edition, the first that will be hosted by new presenter Maya Jama after Laura Whitmore quit in August last year.
The channel has began to ramp up promo, with a string of sizzling teaser trails showing Maya astride a bucking bronco as she “takes love by the horns”.
