Tanyel Revan's sister applied for her to go on Love Island
Yesim Revan has told how she secretly put her sister up for the ITV2 dating show after the 26-year-old hair stylist declared: "Guys are rubbish".
Recalling the moment she decided to apply on her sister's behalf, Yesim said: "I remember Tanny kept saying, 'Ugh, guys are rubbish, you can’t trust anyone!', so I thought, 'How cool would it be if she went on the show?'
"The boys would be on 24/7 surveillance so she’d know exactly what they were up to all the time, plus she loves the show, so I thought it would be perfect for her. I went online and put her email address into the application. She had no idea."
Tanyel was shocked at first, but eventually she didn't mind going along with it.
Yesim said: "She rang me and was like, 'What have you just done?!' But she was happy to go along with it in the end."
While Tanyel is now appearing on the show, Yesim insists she "isn't fame-hungry" and is doing so to find her Mr Right.
She added to OK!: "My sister has had so many opportunities to get her name out there – people have asked her to model and to be in a beauty contest – but she turned them down.
"She’s not fame-hungry at all, so when this opportunity came about, she did it because she was so down about guys and this is the ultimate environment to test a potential partner.
"She was influenced by the likes of Molly-Mae Hague finding her dream guy. There have been a few successful love stories in there, so she thought she might be able to find her own good egg."
