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

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

Unfortunately for favourite girl and boy Ellie<\/a> and Lorenzo<\/a>, the decision has been left in their hands to dump one boy and one girl from the villa.<\/p>\n

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

Who is Tina Rad?<\/p>\n

Tina Rad is a shot girl from Newcastle who is in the villa looking to find love \u2013 and she’s really excited at the thought.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m not really a drama girl, so I\u2019m 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\u2019m not just going to sit there and accept it. I\u2019ll have a proper conversation with them because stuff like that really irritates me.”<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

She added: “I need to bounce off someone, vibe with them, and they need to be a bit weird because I\u2019m a bit weird too.”<\/p>\n
