We've seen a fair few people mention winter Love Island 2023 icon Tanyel Revan's name on the socials over the last few days and it's suddenly dawned on us why – she is THE SPIT of Love Island: All Stars OG and TOWIE star Elma Pazar.
We know a hella load of Islanders look the same, but these two are uncanny...
Anyway, to clarify, winter Love Island 2023 OG Tanyel is definitely not on All Stars this year, but she is just as much of an icon as our Elma, so let's see what she's up two two years on from her Love Island stint...
Who is Tanyel Revan?
Hairdresser Tanyel Raven was an OG star on the Love Island winter 2023 series. She is now also an influencer and podcaster.
How old is Tanyel Revan?
Born 16 May 1996, Tanyel is 29 years old and her star sign is a Taurus.
Where is Tanyel Revan from?
Tanyel is from North London.
What happened with Tanyel Revan and Olivia Hawkins?
God, where do we start?
The drama between the two started when All Stars OG Olivia Hawkins started making eyes at Kai Fagan, or was it when she made a comment about Samie Elishi that Tanyel went and told the finalist about? Honestly, we're not sure.
All we know is that since they left the villa, Tanyel and Zara have been throwing so much shade at the ring girl. Although time seems to have healed that feud.
What happened when Tanyel Revan was on Love Island?
Tanyel was part of those looking for love from day one and coupled up with Ron Hall and Kai. Everyone thought there could have been a little summin summin with Jordan Odofin, who later went on to date Zara when they both left the villa, but there were zero sparks.
Tanyel was constantly battling with the rumour that she fancied Ron even though he was very much coupled up with Lana Jenkins at the time.
While Ron's relationship with Lana didn't work out, besties Ron and Tanyel are still as thick as thieves.
Is Tanyel Revan single?
She may not have found a fella on Love Island but Tanyel seems to have found love outside of the villa.
The Islander was an OG contestant on the winter 2023 series of Love Island and was booted out on day 24, much to (literally) EVERYBODY's disappointment. The hairstylist was a fan favourite, mainly down to the fact that she simply would not settle for anything other than perfection. As she should.
Fast forward a couple of years and Tanyel is now engaged to her 'soulmate' Ediz, a property developer from London. The couple got engaged in Turkey in November 2023.
Does Tanyel Revan have a podcast?
She sure does. The Love Island star recently launched a new podcast with her bestie Ron called I'm Right He's Wrong!
In early January 2025, the pair posted, 'It’s here! Our brand-new podcast @imrightheswrong is LIVE! 🎉
'Two best friends, plenty of laughs, and all the drama — life after Love Island, Ron’s heartbreak, girl drama, and more.'
What is Tanyel Revan's secret to extra plump and glossy lips?
Does Tanyel Revan have Instagram?
Yup, and it's her manning it now (we think – she is getting pretty big time): @tanyelrevan.
