Love Island star in talks for huge deal with luxury hair brand
LOVE Island's Tanya Manhenga has become the first star to bag a lucrative brand deal after leaving the villa.
The reality TV star, who came fourth in the finals with Shaq Muhammad, has been snapped up by a luxury hair company.
Love Island fans were amazed by Tanya's dramatic transformation for the reunion show - and it has certainly paid off.
The star stole the show as she swapped her trademark black tresses for blonde highlights from celeb hair specialists.
Now founder Ese Abigail, who has clients including top TikTok star Jenna Jenkins, has confirmed their partnership.
Ese told The Sun: "We are so excited. Tanya is a dream to work with. We created her look for the Love Island Reunion show, and knew then she would be the perfect fit for the brand right then."

She replied to a fan who had asked during an Instagram Q&A if she was planning on dropping her tricky studies.
Tanya insisted: "I'm definitely going to finish... I don't start things and don't finish them."
Biomedical science degrees give you the skills to conduct lab tests that help diagnose and tackle disease and can be highly paid.
The Liverpool student also said she was "definitely thinking" about making a move to London when asked whether she would swap cities.
However, Tanya, 23, said that she won't immediately move in with her villa boyfriend Shaq.
She explained: "We really want to take our time with that step because it means a lot to me and him.
"But if I have to be closer to him I'll go to London or he'll come Liverpool."
Tanya said the pair were planning "holidays, chill days and having fun together."
She added: "We are like kids when we are together, we have so much fun! I want to continue that."
