Love Island's Toby Aromolaran says he and Tyrique are 'cut from the same cloth'

ok.co.uk:

Since entering the Love Island villa on day one, Tyrique Hyde has been causing trouble, temporarily caught up in a love triangle of his own making between Ella Thomas and Leah Taylor.

The semi-professional footballer, 24, who has never had a girlfriend before, sought out advice ahead of his villa debut from one of his best friends and former Islander, Toby Aromolaran, who appeared on the ITV2 show in 2021.

Speaking to press, including OK!, Tyrique said: "I had a conversation with Toby before I went, obviously he is my close friend. "He literally just said to me: 'Listen bro, just be yourself because if you're not yourself, people are going to see through if you're trying to be something you're not. "Just literally be yourself and people will like it and you'll smash it.” Now speaking on his podcast Fancy a Chat, alongside ex-Islander Danica Taylor, Toby spilled on his friendship with the Love Island Lothario.

He revealed: “Tyrique, I’ve grown up with him, from literally knee height to here.” In fact, the pair are so close that Tyrique actually was the one behind Toby’s Instagram account during his stint in the villa.
