Love Island’s Ella Thomas reveals she and Tyrique Hyde are set to take a huge step in their relationship
LOVE Island’s Ella Thomas has revealed she and boyfriend Tyrique Hyde are taking their relationship to the next level.
The glamorous Scottish model told fans in an Instagram Q&A that the couple are in the process of finding their first home together.
The pair, who finished third in the latest series of the ITV show, are looking to rent an apartment but aren’t settling for anything less than perfect.
Asked when she and Ty will be moving into an apartment together, Ella responded: “So asap. We’e trying to move fast. We’re trying to find one right now which takes time, bust as soon as we find the perfect place then we’re gonna be moving.”
The beauty went on to admit she’s missing friends and family in her home city of Glasgow and would be visiting them soon.
Ella’s been living a lavish lifestyle since coming out of the villa attending glitzy events and jetting abroad.
She looked incredible on the red carpet at the National Television Awards in a revealing pink outfit last week.
Ella cooled off in a luxury pool in Marbella after revealing she’s signed a six-figure deal to become a brand ambassador with fast fashion brand PrettyLittleThing.
An insider told us: “PLT weren’t sure if they would sign anyone this year but Ella seemed like an obvious choice.
“Everyone loved what she wore on the show and she’s already a model so it works really well.”
Gabby Jeffery – a creative assistant for PLT – who appeared as a bombshell on Love Island admitted she wasn’t sure if anyone from the show would get a contract.
She told Johnny Seifert on Secure The Insecure Podcast: “I do think like when, obviously when, we signed Molly Mae that was like the right person, right time, because the show was peak popularity and Islanders’ families were still allowed to use their Instagram.
“So we were getting those followers and she was really getting a lot of attention from her fashion so I think like it made sense then.
“And even like last year with like Gemma [Owen] and Indiya [Polack], I guess still, like they were getting big followings on Instagram and I think you could already see now like the difference in Instagram followers and social media followers to last.”
She added: “I guess it’s whether the brand want sign someone for the sake of doing it or actually do it if it’s gonna, like, make sense.
“I feel like, for me, personally, if I was making that decision this year, probably not.
“Maybe not like a big contract, maybe like a smaller one, like brand ambassador or like, something like that.
“I think because the show’s not as big, it doesn’t make sense to give a big, big contract.”
