Ahead of the episode, Ty's cousin from the 2022 series took to TikTok to reveal their connection.
Cheyanne Kerr raised her hand to her mouth in surprise as the Love Island theme played, and she wrote: "POV: Your cousin just walked into the villa."
One follower commented: "so excited for him. he's the best boy on there."
Another agreed, saying: "Best one out them all."
When a fan asked Cheyanne who she thought Ty would go for, she replied: "I haven't been watching it so I haven't a clue who people are but from what I've seen I think Shakira maybe???"
She told another: "He likes a brunette tbh."
Ahead of the series, Ty confirmed his type, saying: "I go off energy, if we vibe. I've typically dated brunettes, tanned, nice teeth with a nice smile."
He added: "I've got my eyes on Shakira - she needs a Northern lad in there, our personalities would be the most matched I think.
"Emily seems like a really sweet girl, someone you could take home to your parents. Helena is really good looking but she needs taming! I reckon I'm the man for the job."
Barnsley bombshell Cheyanne had been single for six months when she entered the villa.

She said at the time: "I am not wanting to upset anyone or hurt anyone's feelings purposely but I am going in there for a reason and they're going in for a reason as well."
The blonde stunner hit it off with rugby league lad Jacques O'Neill in Casa Amor but ultimately left the show when he decided to stick with Paige Thorne.

Love Island: Has TikTok got us hooked again?
Love Island is back for its 12th series - and it's not just the villa that's had an upgrade. After falling audience figures in recent years, the number of us tuning in is returning to series eight levels - the year that delivered Love Island icons like Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, Indiyah Polack and Tasha Ghouri. But if daily episodes are our type on paper, social media is the bombshell that's turning heads. Figures from ITV shared with BBC Newsbeat suggest the series' growth on socials is outstripping the success it's having on TV. Analysis by the BBC found that Love Island's official accounts had gained 1.8m followers since the start of 2025, with 1m of those on Diamanté Laiv tells BBC Newsbeat the short-form updates are much more appealing than committing to the nightly TV show."I'm a very busy person, so I don't really have the time to sit down every day for an hour and just watch people kiss," she says. Diamanté, who appeared in series 11, says she's not surprised millions are keeping up to date on their phone."It's more popular online because everybody's online, it's easily accessible. Every 10 scrolls on TikTok is something Love Island-related, so you can't really avoid it."She's not alone in staying away from streaming the episodes in full. While the first episode of series 12 was watched by 2.6m people - almost double 2023's low of 1.3m - the numbers are still a long way off Love Island's 2019 heyday, when 6m of us tuned in to see Amber Gill and Greg O Shea voted most popular that's still a fraction of the 13m following various official accounts TikTok there's been an explosion in Love Island content - with view counts for individual clips outstripping viewing figures for whole or funny moments from the show proper tend to perform well, but reactions, analysis, and debriefs - where content creators recap whole episodes in a few minutes - also notch up big to data gathered by the BBC there have been more than 87,000 TikTok uploads with a Love Island or Love Island UK hashtag so far in 2025. For the whole of 2024, the same data suggests that figure was just below 40,000. Anthony, better known as "giletslays", is one of many content creators who have been feeding that been making videos about the latest series for his 170,000 followers, and some of his Love Island takes have had millions of says the real draw of Love Island has always been the discourse on social to take part you need to be up to date, and a nightly show can feel like too much of a long-term commitment for some. "Sometimes if people miss a couple of episodes they feel they're too far behind to catch up," says Harriet Fisher, who's been watching Love Island since series one, agrees TikTok has become the go-to place for says the US version of the show, which has overlapped with the UK edition this year, is "popping off" on the app, and believes this has boosted interest in Love Island overall."The way that people are engaging with reality TV and Love Island in general is obviously changing," she says."It needs TikTok and social media to survive, to gain viewers."It shows that viewers of old can stay engaged, but also get those new viewers in."But those new viewers are forming a very different relationship with the contestants, Diamanté warns. Traditionally, audiences have spent whole series getting to know islanders over one-hour then, contestants have never been shy about blaming selective editing for making them look on social media, with character arcs compressed into bite-sized clips, Diamanté worries fans aren't getting the full picture."Conversations are being pulled and tweaked so I feel like it makes it even more orchestrated," she says. "It kind of takes the reality out of the reality TV."Grace Henry, Cosmopolitan's acting entertainment and lifestyle director, agrees that watching the show via social media fundamentally changes the experience."We have to be mindful that these are short clips and clips can be taken out of context," she says."We're never going to see the full picture of how someone is and things change very quickly in there."But Grace thinks online notoriety could work in aspiring reality stars' favour - even if it means audiences spend less time with them. She singles out Yasmin Pettet, nicknamed YasGPT online, as one islander who's been able to connect with audiences this of Yas giving posture lessons have been viewed more than a million times on TikTok and gained tens of thousands of likes on Instagram."We will still have those people and we will have a connection to them, but they will just come around differently," says Grace."It will be based on viral moments and whether they do something big that becomes a meme or a social media moment."Diamanté agrees and thinks social clips might even be a better way to build a following than being popular on the well as reaching more people, she says "more brands are seeing it and that's the aim of the game".

Secrets of Live Aid revealed 40 years on including mortifying moment for Bob Geldof & how stars gate-crashed wedding
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WHEN Paula Yates' two-year-old daughter Fifi presented Princess Diana with a limp bunch of flowers at Live Aid, the cute moment soon turned into a mortifying spectacle. Watching on in horror, Paula realised she had failed to remove the petrol station tag from the wrapper — but thankfully both women descended into giggles. 8 Princess Diana, Bob Geldof and Paula Yates and Fifi offering her cheap flowers Credit: Alamy 8 Bob with the Princess Credit: Shutterstock Editorial It is just one of the remarkable moments remembered by journalist Robin Eggar, who was given special backstage access on the day. Robin, who also had a prized seat just behind the Royal Box at Wembley Stadium on July 13, said: 'It was a hilarious moment. The sticker was still very visible and Diana was very polite in accepting them — there were smiles and laughter. 'She was a big fan of pop music and was clearly enjoying the day.' Live Aid was the biggest charity music extravaganza of all time, jointly arranged by the late Paula's then-husband Bob Geldof. The two-venue benefit concert was watched by 1.9billion people worldwide, raising £150million for famine relief in Ethiopia and starring almost 100 acts and star presenters in the UK and in Philadelphia in the States. Speaking ahead of the concert's 40th anniversary, Robin said: 'The atmosphere was a bit like the dads' race at a kids' sports day — it was competitive, but everyone tried to look like they weren't competing. 'Getting the stars there was a logistical nightmare so they were flown in by helicopter from Battersea Heliport. 'The only place it could land was a cricket pitch near the stadium. 'Every time the helicopter landed, the bemused cricketers, who were mid-game, would have to rush off. Then they'd have four or five overs before the next helicopter landed. 'There was also a wedding party in the pavilion, who were wondering what the hell was going on as Freddie Mercury walked past. Quite a few health and safety rules were likely broken. Kevin Cronin and Speedwagon play Roll With The Changes at Band Aid 'But that is why it all worked. It would've been impossible to get them all there by car or the Tube.' Inside, the stars took over a giant backstage area, where the Hard Rock Cafe had built a huge restaurant to feed all the workers for free. Robin said: 'Everyone was excited, hugging and chatting. I remember Freddie joking with Midge Ure and winding him up saying, 'You're that lovely boy from the Boomtown Rats', pretending to mix him up with Bob Geldof. 'Amazing atmosphere' 'Next to the free burgers were huge charity buckets, and if anyone put in £20 they were deemed a cheapskate, so it ended up costing about £50 for a burger. 'Robbie Coltrane was auctioning off his favourite car, Jools Holland joked that he would donate £100,000 if Paula Yates offered him 'executive relief'. There was a lot of drinking. It was an amazing atmosphere.' On stage, the performances had to run like clockwork. Each was given exactly 18 minutes. There was also a wedding party in the pavilion, who were wondering what the hell was going on as Freddie Mercury walked past. Quite a few health and safety rules were likely broken The bands lined up on a 'conveyor belt-like stage', with technicians preparing the next act on a circular stage while another played, so the music was endless. Robin added: 'The drummer from Ultravox was so relaxed he had to be woken up to go on stage. 'There was drama backstage after Paul McCartney's mic stand collapsed mid-set, and Sting went on stage without his band so it was just him and his acoustic guitar. 'U2 were down to do four songs but only played two because Bono spent most of his time dancing with a girl on stage. 'There was a strange moment when Yusuf Islam/Cat Stevens turned up and said, 'I'm here to play to the world' but he wasn't allowed to play. 'But there was no doubt the star of the show was Freddie Mercury and Queen. They did all their hits in a medley, which they had rehearsed for two weeks. 'Freddie was the person everyone wanted to be around backstage.' Robin added: 'It was an incredible day to observe up close.' MAGICAL DAY IN SNAPS By Jane Atkinson VETERAN showbiz snapper Dave Hogan has travelled the world taking photos of A-listers – but he says nothing compares to Live Aid.

Geldof's Boomtown Rats played I Don't Like Mondays. Award-winning Dave — nicknamed Hogie — joined The Sun in 1980 and says: 'These were the biggest stars in the world, but there was a sign up that said, 'Check your ego before you go on stage'. 'That, to me, summed up the occasion. This wasn't about them — it was about thinking of others. 'There had never been anything as big before. And nothing has been as big since.' As an official photographer, Hogie had access to the stage. He says: 'Looking back it's surreal. There weren't the safety checks we have today. 'There were no mobile phones — just 72,000 people fully focused on what was happening on stage. It was magical.' Hogie's photos captured the magical day. Here he shares five of his favourites.

FRED'S A KIND OF MAGIC THIS is Freddie on stage during Queen's famous set but mainly, for me, this reminds me of the crowd that day. Over the years I photographed Freddie on more than one occasion, but the way the crowd reacted to him at Live Aid was just amazing. 8 Freddie Mercury on stage during Queen's famous set Credit: Getty He was a legend and every single person there on the day would agree. TWO BLOKES, ROCK GODS THERE'S something about this I love. You would think they're just two blokes having a chat. 8 David Bowie and Sir Paul McCartney Credit: Getty But it's Bowie and Macca – rock gods. The picture speaks volumes, too. Everybody mucked in that day for a single cause, no matter how famous they were. WHO IS HE? BONO had a can of Heineken in his hand and started talking with two policewomen backstage. They were lovely and chatted away to him. 8 Bono had a can of Heineken in his hand and started talking with two policewomen backstage Credit: Getty But when he left, one of them turned and asked me: 'Who is he?'

Influencer couple brutally mocked over newborn son's obscure name: 'He's going to be teased'
An influencer couple has been brutally mocked online over their newborn son's obscure name. Clarissa Caleb and Shaquan Roberts, known as Riss & Quan, have gained more than three million subscribers on YouTube by documenting their day-to-day endeavors as parents to three young boys. But when they recently revealed their youngest son's moniker to the world, they faced immense backlash over what they decided to name him. In a video shared to TikTok earlier this week, Clarissa and Shaquan were seen holding up a heart-shaped glass case that was filled with little balls. 'Baby boy's name is...' Clarissa said before trailing off. 'Three, two, one,' Shaquan said as he opened up a small hole at the bottom of the glass case. The balls then fell out one by one, eventually revealing their newborn's moniker written underneath: Secure Arris Roberts. The clip got nearly three million views, and many people took to the comment section to slam the unusual baby name. 'Who names they baby Secure?' asked one user. 'What's wrong with parents these days?' wondered another. 'Sometimes I think y'all forget you are naming future adults,' someone else wrote. 'Secure? You parents in this generation really don't get it. "Secure" is a word that describes a feeling. It's not a name. But to each his own,' read a fourth comment. A fifth said, 'They be calling anything as names to kids these days.' 'You guys owe him an apology,' a different user scathed. 'Poor baby when he starts school he's going to be teased,' added another person. The couple also share sons Shine Anthony Roberts and Saviour Azaire Roberts. The clip got nearly three million views, and many people took to the comment section to slam the unusual baby name In a follow-up video, they explained, 'As you guys can see we decided to keep the theme of the [initials] SAR.' 'Shaquan came up with the first name and I came up with the middle name,' Clarissa dished. Clarissa also pointed out that his middle name 'has a little piece of her' in it, explaining, 'Arris actually means "best" or "superior." But it also has "ris" in there. 'It's Greek and my first name, Clarissa, is Greek as well. I just thought it was cute, I don't know.' 'We put a ton of thought into his name, like we always do,' Shaquan added. 'We definitely wanted to go with something unique, a name that pretty much not many people in this world have.
