If you’ve been a Love Island fan from the very beginning then you might remember Tina Stinnes from series two, who was famously branded a “Made in Chelsea reject” by love rival Kady McDermott.

Well, it turns out that Tina’s having the last laugh as she’s joining the cast of the E4 show for good after previously popping up in a guest role on series seven and series 13.

Back in 2014, Tina made her first appearance on MIC when she dated Spencer Matthews. She then caused some drama three years later when she joined the cast on a weekend break, ruffling the feathers of her ex-boyfriend Jamie Laing’s then-girlfriend Frankie Gaff.

As she returns to the show, here’s everything you need to know about Tina…

When was Tina Stinnes on Love Island?

Tina was a bombshell on the second series of Love Island in 2016 and despite getting nearly three weeks in an all expenses paid luxury villa with some of the hottest men in the country, she said her time on the ITV2 show was “horrible”.

Speaking to The Sun in 2017, she said, “I can see how people feel, especially when there is no one in there for them.

“It can be really a sh-t, horrible feeling and you can feel really lonely.”
