AXED Love Island star Tanyel Revan has opened up about her relationship with Ron Hall.
Many were convinced she lusted after the finance guru, especially after they were caught spooning bed in.
Some even insisted she was in love with him - but she told a different story after leaving Love Island tonight.
Tanyel wound up leaving the show after the boys were given the power in the recoupling ceremony, and left her single.
Asked if there was a "romantic connection" between them, she insisted: "No.
"I’m glad I coupled up with him the first time around because if I hadn’t done that I wouldn’t have realised how good a friendship we could have.

"What made me realise it was just a friendship between us was as soon as we coupled up, we couldn’t flirt.
"It’s like the flirting went out the window. I didn’t expect to get on with him that well. He’s my best friend."
She added: "When I get married one day, I want him to be there with Lana! Genuinely, I think he’ll be my friend for life."
Asked why Ron was so special to her she said: "He’s very loyal and loyalty is a big thing for me.

"He reminds me of the people I know from home.
"He’s so caring. I can trust him. I don’t trust just anyone, but I fully trust him. I know if I say something to him it won’t go anywhere else.
"I think he’s got a pure heart and genuine intentions. He’s got the best personality, genuinely - I just don’t fancy him!"
She warned him to treat Lana right, adding: "I really think that they’re a good match.
"Don’t get me wrong, sometimes she needs to back herself more, but I don’t think she’ll put up with any bulls*** and he knows this is his last chance."
Love Island continues Friday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX
