"It's on my lip and I have a stripe on my hair. Not many people know that but I think it’s quite cute. I don’t care about covering it up all the time, I think it’s a vibe."
The biomedical student hopes to find love during her stint on the show. She said: "I’m looking for a boyfriend and I think being in a Villa with lots of different people will help me work out who it is I may want."
Tanya said "trust issues" may be the reason why she is single. She said: "I don’t trust guys. Some want to get serious really quickly, but I don't trust them enough, it’s all about trust."
The Islander described herself as "super nice" but warned there is another side to her personality. She said: "I want to be friends with everyone but if you’re gonna be cheeky I’m the sort of person that will give it back. I will bring good vibes and good energy."
