How has Tamer reacted to his daughter being on Love Island?
In an exclusive interview with The Sun Online, Tamer revealed that he wasn’t ecstatic to find out that his daughter Belle was entering the Love Island villa, but he’s happy to see her have found a genuine connection with Anton.

"I want her to have the best time of her life.”
When asked whether he thought his daughter was playing a game in the Love Island villa, Tamer responded, saying: “Look, it IS a game, everybody is playing a game.
“My advice to Belle was: 'Listen, be yourself but I am watching every move, remember who your dad is and do the right stuff'.”

And while he had some stern words for the Scotsman, Tamer couldn't help but feel happy for the loved-up pair.
As both families gathered around the fire pit, Tamer said:
"When she first went in and was like, 'Can I sleep in your bed?'
"I was like I'm going to rip his head off.
"But I've got to say you two have unfolded and it's blossomed into something really beautiful."
