Love Island First Look: Tyrique not 'closed off'

Love Island originals Tyrique Hyde told Ella Thomas he'd closed himself off to her during a romantic date, but fans are not convinced he is being sincere. 

The semi-professional footballer has been giving Scottish model Ella mixed signals about where their relationship is heading for weeks, flirting with new girl Leah Taylor in recent days. 

However, when they were whisked away to discuss their romance at a stunning rooftop location in Majorca, Tyrique said his loved ones would adore Ella. 

After he asked if she'd consider relocating, Ella said: “I can see you have feelings for me. The fact that I can see you really trying means a lot.”‌

Tyrique shared: “I've had feelings in the past… But you’re the person that’s made me realise I can have strong feelings. I didn’t think I was capable, that’s why I’ll always have love and respect for you.”‌

By the end of the date, he revealed he'd decided to "close" himself off from other women as he wanted to be serious with her. 

"I'm 100 percent to fully close myself off with you," Tyrique told Ella. 

But fans did not trust Tyrique's word and they flocked to social media to comment. 

@‌IceCandy0025 said: "Really Ella?? You didn't want to rush and pressure Tyrique into closing up? OK #LoveIsland."

@‌Vibebey added: "Ella... STAND UP! That man is mugging you off badly and it's crazy to watch. #LoveIsland."

@‌OhemaBoujee remarked: "On a real thought, I do hope the producers give Ella a heads up if Ty does a madness at Casa because the shock if he does will send her into a coma #LoveIsland."

@‌Yaa_01 fumed: "Don't trust him, Ella, please #LoveIsland," as @‌Thiscattrocks penned: "Ella, don’t trust Ty. Casa is coming soon #LoveIsland."

@‌Teeej333 commented: "Lol let’s wait and see how you act in casa Ty, Ella darling don’t trust him lol #LoveIsland."

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
