LOVE Island fans think Tyrique Hyde is playing a game and believe this clue he just gave is a major indicator.
The 24-year-old semi-professional footballer finally seems to be in a good place with Ella Thomas, 23, after their Casa Amor drama.
Tyrique riled fans with his comment to Sammy about how the public are fans of him and Ella T
Viewers of Love Island have been convinced for some time that Tyrique has his sights set on the £50,000 prize money.
After a rollercoaster ride, he and Ella Thomas appear to be happy and even managed to avoid being in the public’s bottom three of least compatible couples.
Tyrique couldn’t hide his delight as he chatted to fellow islander Sammy, who had been at risk of being dumped with his partner Jess.
The two were seen sitting next to each other discussing the previous night’s shock departure of Leah and Montel.
With Tyrique gleefully telling his pal: “Love that the public is rocking with my ting.”
Before cheekily adding: “Can’t say the same for you.”
The off-hand comment did not go unnoticed by viewers who raced to social media to discuss their findings.
One person wrote: “Why did Tyrique throw that shot at sammy about being in the bottom ? it’s quite obvious he does a lot of things to manipulate the public.. he is desperate to win”
“Tyrique, leave the public alone. This game you’re playing,” added another viewer.
A third user penned: “i love tyrique but he’s so strategic, why is talking about the public.”
“Sorry that comment. Tyrique is so focussed on the win. Lmaoo who says that public opinion is his priority,” laughed someone else.
Tonight saw emotions flare as Tyrique quickly recognised new bombshell Ella B.
After going on a date with Mitch, she managed to steal Tyrique away from Ella T and asking him: “Nice to see your face… how are you? Are you happy to see my face?”
He replied: “Yeah, of course, it reminds me of home.”
The naughty newcomer then added: “A few months ago you were kissing my face and now you are here.”
Tyrique, who is now official with Ella T, flirted back: “It’s a shame it was our last kiss.”
Ella B replies: “Maybe it won’t be…”
Ella B is out for Tyrique and nothing will stop her
