Love Island shock as ANOTHER ex joins the villa – with girl gasping ‘this is nuts’
LOVE Island All Stars welcomed ANOTHER Islander’s ex to the villa – as Tyler Cruickshank made his bombshell return tonight.
Tyler, 28, found love with Kaz Kamwi, 29, on series seven of the ITV2 dating show in 2021, but sadly split after just four months of dating.
Kaz, who is currently coupled up with Luis Morrison, has yet to find a connection with any of the lads in the villa.
And she was left gobsmacked tonight as her former flame Tyler became the latest bombshell, as he returned to the reality show for a second time.
Similar to Liberty Poole and Jake Cornish and Molly Smith and Callum Jones – Kaz and Tyler came face-to-face as they reunite following their messy split.
In scenes that aired tonight, host Maya Jama returned to the villa to reveal that a new bombshell will be arriving to shake things up.
As she struts into the villa, Maya says: “Hello you gorgeous lot. Can I get you all by the firepit please…come on!”
Maya has news for one Islander in particular as she continues: “Arabella, you now have a very important decision to make.
“You can now steal anyone of the boys in front of you…but, before you steal, let’s add one more bombshell into the mix.”
Arabella replies: “Oh my God…this is nuts”.
Liberty gasps: “What the hell.”
While Georgia S asks: “Who is it?”
But the Islanders are caught completely off guard as Tyler enters the villa, leaving Kaz clearly in shock.
Kaz and Tyler confirmed they had split in December 2021, after just four months of dating, blaming the “adjustment to being in the public eye” as the reason for the break up.
In a joint statement at the time, they said: “We are extremely sad to announce that we have decided to end our romantic relationship.
“We have had a fantastic journey and we will always have a special bond between us.
“We will continue to be very much in one another’s lives and support each other in every way.
“We are so grateful that we have shared this Love Island experience with each other, and we will continue to support each other’s careers.”
They added: “Life since the villa has been amazing, but it’s taking time to adjust to a normal in the public eye. This part of the journey hasn’t been easy for us but we’re learning.
“Thank you to very single person who has supported us, we appreciate you more than you will ever know.”
Three months later in February 2022, Kaz broke her silence on the split and took a savage swipe at Tyler
The reality star admitted that she didn’t feel “appreciated” in the relationship and said she was “very naive”.
Kaz also hinted that Tyler may have been “faking” the relationship after she insisted that she was true to herself and “never acted up online”.
“The break-up, that situation, right. So obviously I’m single now, I was in a relationship the last time I was on this channel,” Kaz said.
“Being single in itself is not an issue, it’s fine.
“What is really hard is Twitter, oh my gosh that place… when everything happened, even before we confirmed anything, everyone gave their opinions, which you know what I get it.
“On one hand, I’m like everyone is entitled to their own opinion, that’s fine, a lot of people saw things that I didn’t see at the time.
“I was very naive and that’s okay, that’s fine.”
The Influencer explained that that she gave “100 per cent to the relationship” but did not feel that it was reciprocated.
“You know what, I learnt so much from that break up and that period of time,” she continued.
“Obviously, I just feel like at the end of the day some relationships work and some relationships don’t and this one just didn’t.
“I was never faking it, I was never acting up online for it, I was very myself and I was how I would be in any other relationship and I gave my 100 per cent.
“And yeah, I don’t think I was fully appreciated but that’s just life and sometimes that happens and that’s okay.”
