But it's not her first Love Island experience - as The Sun can reveal the 25-year-old HR coordinator previously dated Casa Amor star Alexi Eraclides.

The hunk was a contestant in Casa Amor in the first winter Love Island in 2020.

The fun-loving party boy had eyes for Shaughna Phillips, Demi Jones and Jess Gale, but sadly failed to land his dream girls.

He began dating Tiffany a year later and they continued their on off romance for three years.

"Alexi and Tiff met back in 2021 at an awards show, shortly after he came off Love Island," a source told The Sun.

"They were introduced through a friend, who had told him Tiff had a huge crush on him. She was a big fan of the show and him.

"They were seeing each other on and off over the past three years – and he took her to numerous celeb parties. She loved the lifestyle that came with Love Island."

Insiders revealed from Alexi’s side it was super casual, but Tiff was really into it.

The source continued: "Unfortunately, Alexi didn’t really feel the same and it was quite difficult for Tiff to deal with, she got quite upset about the whole thing.

"Alexi was always super honest with her, but it was still hard because it went on for so long.

"Things came to a head in April of this year when they had a huge argument and he ended up blocking her.

"She’s a great girl and from his side there are no bad feelings now – hopefully she’ll now find her dream man."

ITV have been approached for comment.
