And he said he predicted his time on the show when he was just a teenager.
He said: "When I was 16, I remember being in class and then somehow me and my teacher got roped in to speak about Love Island. Yeah. And I was like, 'miss, when I hit 22, if I have no girlfriend, I'm going to go on Love Island.'
"I thought that's going to be forever away from 16. So I'm thinking, oh yeah, 22, if I don't have a girl, I'm going to go on Love Island."

Toby has always remained quiet about what happened in his break-ups, and said he won't be changing that stance.
He told Tis Yourself: "I feel like that's one of the hardest things and I spoke to my friends about that recently. I was like, 'what do I do in this situation? Where if someone's saying a false narrative, do I come back and start saying the truth?'"

He added: "I know what the truth is and I know how everything happens. So that's all I need to know. And my family and friends know that as well. If the public really want to know it, then go and badger the other person."
After appearing in All Stars last year, he told the Irish podcast Tis Yourself that it was a completely different experience to the first time around.

"Like, I was so young. I was 22. I was a baby, you know, looking back at now, baby, completely different person. Full of life, I'll say.
"So naive and everything. But yeah, I think that's like probably the rawest version of me, which is nice to see. And I've learned a lot of lessons since then, which I have to thank Love Island for."
This time around he was a lot more cautious.
HONEST CHAT
"I remember going back in All Stars and I was like, there was a moment that was hitting me and I was in a convo and someone kept on asking me about my ex and what happened? I was thinking, you guys just want me to say this out loud so everyone can know. But like that's kind of private. So I don't want to say it out.

"So I was like trying to pull back. But I was trying to pull back in a convo, which is kind of weird to me because I never really pulled back in convos. I'll just say how it is.
"I was wary there because it wasn't just me. It was about the other person as well in a relationship. So I didn't want to like air our dirty laundry."
And Toby said he will never be releasing a statement to tell the public if he breaks up with someone.
"I've never done a statement in my life. I can't lie to you. I laugh at these so much. I can't do a statement. I'll just, you guys will just figure it out. You'll figure it out. I don't need to put a statement out saying I'm not with this person anymore. Like it was a relationship for me…

"When I see the statements as well, like some of them, I just think like you are just lying straight through that statement. We're still friends. You're not. You hate each other.
"I just take a break off socials with me whenever something like that happens. Just take a break. Just go and find my family, friends, be with them. And that's it really."
