New bombshell Tina Rad hasn’t had the smoothest journey on Love Island 2026, with her connection with Aidan now firmly set to friendship status, her closest friend dumped and now, she faces being dumped from the villa herself.

After the public began voting for their favourite girl and favourite boy, it was revealed that Tina, along with Priya and Lola, received the fewest votes and were therefore at risk of being dumped.

Unfortunately for favourite girl and boy Ellie and Lorenzo, the decision has been left in their hands to dump one boy and one girl from the villa.

With Tina’s days potentially numbered in the Love Island villa, read on for everything you need to know about the Love Island contestant.

Who is Tina Rad?

Tina Rad is a shot girl from Newcastle who is in the villa looking to find love – and she’s really excited at the thought.

“I’m not really a drama girl, so I’m not going in there to cause drama or make a massive deal out of things,” she said. “But if someone is disrespectful or nasty, I’m not just going to sit there and accept it. I’ll have a proper conversation with them because stuff like that really irritates me.”

Her strategy in the villa is to speak to all the boys, as there are a couple who she has her eye on, but personality is “a huge thing” for her.

She added: “I need to bounce off someone, vibe with them, and they need to be a bit weird because I’m a bit weird too.”

What is Tina’s ‘type on paper’?
