It's getting close.

Love Island is only a matter of days away from its winter season return and rumours are already starting about who might be appearing on the show. While nobody has been officially announced yet let alone an official release date (but the 16th of January is what's being said), the first to be rumoured is Tanya Manhenga. The 22 year old biomedical science student is set to strut her way into the new villa for a winter of love in the South African sun. While she has the brains to back her up, Tanya is very easy to look at as she has previously done some modelling on the side (you might recognise her from Boohoo...) Boasting more than 11,000 followers on Instagram, she has already nabbed huge brand deals with the likes of Simmi shoes and Ego footwear, not to mention former islander Indiyah Polack being one of her online pals. A source told The Sun: “Tanya really is the whole package, she’s a smart as she is stunning and she looks set to be one this series most popular Islanders. “She’s an Islander in waiting, already moving in the same circles as former cast members and with brand deals already under her belt. “This year’s cast is a sassy bunch, packed with banter and good chat, and Tanya is set to lead the pack.” And with one glance at her Instagram, it seems she's the perfect fit for the show, posting pictures from her modelling shoots and holidays. Sure, she's already got the bikini collection sorted. On Christmas Eve she wrote in one post: “Calm before the storm.” Are we looking into this one too much? ITV2 is only days away from announcing who is set to be on the series this year and have already started their promo after releasing a teaser trailer showing new host Maya Jama on a bronco as she “takes love by the horns”.
