Love Island contestants left stunned by Tyrique’s ‘disgusting’ confession during steamy challenge
THE Islanders were left stunned as Tyrique Hyde made a surprise confession about his body count and sex life.
Things got heated on the ITV2 dating show as Tyrique, 23, got crude when discussing how many people he had bedded.
It led to fellow Islander Catherine Agbaje branding him “disgusting” as his partner Ella Thomas looked furious.
The comments came as part of the raunchy villa challenge, Wary Tales.
The Islanders were forced to guess who a certain statement was about before planting a kiss on them to confirm their choice.
One of the statements read aloud by Molly Marsh asked: “Which boy stopped keeping count of his body count when it hit 100.”
Instantly the girls were left gasping but it was what hunky semi-pro footballer Tyrique had to say next that left them with a sour taste in their mouth.
As the girls asked him to explain the story, he said: “Yeah, obviously, it’s not a flex.
“I’ve been single my whole life, innit so… Pulling and s***ing is all I know really.”
Fuming in the beach hut, Ella said: “It was his reaction for me, why would you say that?”
The girls were all left floored by the light-hearted manner in which he brushed off what he had gotten up to.
Commenting on Tyrique’s comments online, one fan speculated that his carefree attitude ‘made sense’ as to why he did not remember Ella when she told him they had met before in the first episode, saying: “It’s starting to make sense now why Tyrique didn’t remember Ella.”
It came as fans had earlier labelled him a ‘walking red flag’.
The semi-professional footballer made sure all eyes were on him as he made a series of confessions in his opening VT including announcing that flirting was one of his main hobbies.
Tyrique said: “You could say I’m a player on and off the pitch.
“Flirting is something that comes second nature to me. It is one of my hobbies.”
He continued: “I have been single my whole life, I’ve never had a girlfriend.
“I am inclined to get bored.”
Some viewers were left insisting that the 21 year old charming lad could be left with a wandering eye after his confession.
Taking to Twitter to comment on the show’s latest hunk, fans were quick to pick up on the telltale signs of him being a ‘red flag’.
One fan wary of the heartthrob said: “Never had a girlfriend!? RED FLAG!!”
Another added: “Not him exposing all his red flags for us.”
A third shared: “If you’ve been single your whole life, as a man, you shouldn’t even admit it, man. They see it as a red flag at these ages.”
“Well Tyrique’s VT was red flag after red flag,” said a fourth before someone else penned: “Tyrique being single all his life is a red flag coz he said he’s a flirt too – can’t keep a girl for life.”
