Love Island UK’s Tanyel Revan has revealed a huge argument between herself and Ellie Spence which wasn’t aired, saying, “I literally had word vomit, I could not help how I felt.”

Love Island UK series 9 began on January 16, and in the weeks since, viewers have been treated to drama, romance, and everything in between.

In episode five, a recoupling meant that Tanyel Revan, who had been in the villa since the beginning, was dumped from the villa, with many fans upset about the star’s exit. Bombshell Ellie Spence was eliminated from the villa shortly after in episode 26 alongside Jordan Odofin.

In an interview with Digital Spy after leaving the villa, Tanyel revealed that she and Ellie actually had a huge argument that never made it to air, following the drama surrounding fellow islander Ron.

“I had a really, really, funny, bad argument with Ellie,” she revealed. I think it would have shown my more fiery side. I literally had word vomit, I could not help how I felt. Honestly, just everything I felt, I said it.”

“I think it would have been nice for them to see my fiery side and how, like, I’ve always been direct to say how it is but I really said how it was.”

Tanyel explained that the argument was as a result of other contestants believing she was defending Ron.

“All I said was – I wasn’t even trying to defend him, I just said: ‘Why do you lot care? It’s none of your business. You should invest your time in your own relationships and your energy into that rather than picking on someone else constantly.”

“I went on to say: ‘No, actually, I’ve had my own private conversations with Ron. I tell him when he’s right, I tell him when he’s wrong. I’ve been a really good friend to him and I’ll tell him if he’s wrong, I don’t care. I’ll say it,'” she went on to say.

“Ellie decided to pipe up and get quite rude and question my loyalty. I went mad after that so no one could ever question my loyalty when it comes to my friends and family.”

Ellie herself revealed in a TikTok video that there’s been a lot that viewers didn’t get to see, saying, “everyone was feuding, there were arguments left and right that never got aired.”
