‘You are quite gullible’

Love Island’s Troy dashes Tina’s dreams as he confesses she’s not his type during VERY awkward first date

The blonde also confronted him about whether he was faking his feelings

Love Island

SHE finally thought she had found the man to couple up with during her time on Love Island but it looks like Troy won’t be the one for Tina.

The former Made In Chelsea star is left red-faced and squirming on tonight episode as the latest lad to join Love Island confesses that she isn’t her type.

The new couple clashed as they headed out of the villa for a very awkward first date – which no doubt did nothing to soothe Tina’s fears about him.

As they sat and sipped sangria Troy – who who has already been accused of being a game player – told her: “My ideal type is Spanish or something. We’re from two different backgrounds. You are quite gullible and ditzy.”

Clearly upset Tina disagreed, saying: “I’m a little bit up in the clouds, I would say. I always get told it’s really endearing though so don’t put me down on it.”

Just hours before their date they had exchanged words after Olivia told Tina about Oliver’s words of warning before he left.

Olivia told the group and Tina: “[Oliver] said, I can’t fake anything in here with anyone, but [Troy] can.”

Not surprisingly worried that Oliver’s comments may ring true, Tina spoke to Troy face to face about her concerns.

She said to him: “What I’ve been told, it’s not very nice to hear is it? I was told that I was the easy option. That [Oliver] can’t fake things and that you can. I don’t know you and obviously there is doubt. The issue is whether you said I was the easy option.

Feeling that Oliver was just annoyed about being dumped from the Island, Troy told Tina: “He’s going to get into your head because he’s p***ed. You’re not an easy option for me. Why are you an easy option when we’re from two different backgrounds? Whatever he said to you, I’m still going to crack on to you. I still think you’re fit and I do think we’ve got a connection. That’s not going to make me back off from you.”

But returning from their date later on Tina seemed rather deflated and underwhelmed by the lack of a spark between herself and Troy, Tina told Kady: “I don’t know. I’d say 4.5, maybe 5. [Before], he was really cheeky, really jokey whereas now I feel like he’s just a t***.

"He’s lost that cheekiness and that was the one thing that attracted me to him. He’s not my type; he’s not the guy I’d usually go for. I don’t know if he did it to play a game. I was sitting there thinking ‘please let this be over’, I’m almost at the point where I could fall asleep.”

Meanwhile, Troy was annoyed that Tina was letting other people’s comments get in the way.

He told Alex: “She keeps mentioning that she’s wary. I’ve chosen her now, she should be happy. We’ve coupled up now, just enjoy it. She’s a lovely girl but I’d rather just enjoy my time and crack on.”
