Love Island’s Tyne-Lexy Clarson’s mum reveals there’s a ‘secret house’ on the show that viewers haven’t seen
Tyne-Lexy is a 20-year-old drama student and signed up for the show to pay her university fees
TYNE-Lexy Clarson's mum has revealed there's a "secret" Love Island house and there'll be lots of "twists and turns" on the show.
The Birmingham student entered the villa last week alongside new girl Gabby Allen and exclusively told the Sun Online that she might have sex on the show.
Now her mum Tracee Clarson has admitted that it's "strange" seeing her 20-year-old daughter on TV but she signed up for the show to pay her university fees.
She said: "She’s really entertaining. "It's always a bit strange when you hear someone else saying her name on television.
"The show can run for several weeks and there’s lots of twists and turns they can have.
"We’re all really excited and she’ll be loving it out there. There’s all sorts going on and there’s a secret house in there."
She continued: “It isn’t filmed live but she’s out there now and has no contact with the outside world – a bit like on Big Brother.
“I think they film it a bit before and then broadcast it on TV after and then she was on the live show with Caroline Flack after. We’re all rooting for her.
"She’s absolutely committed to her degree but if she could earn any money on the side its always a bonus – it will help pay for her uni fees."

Love Island isn't her first appearance on the small screen as she previously competed in a singing competition called GMTV’s Number One Family.
Tyne-Lexy is also a drama student and previously appeared on Shameless and Toast.
Speaking to us before she went into the villa, Tyne-Lexy didn't rule out having sex in front of the cameras - even if her mum won't be pleased.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun Online she said: “No one’s warned me off [having sex in the villa], they've just told me to go in there and have a good time.
“Obviously no one's mum wants to see their daughter have sex on TV, but you never know when you're in there, anything can happen!”
- Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2
