Love Island’s Tanya reveals she’s returning to her normal job despite huge fame after the villa
LOVE Island’s Tanya Manhenga has insisted her success on the show isn’t going to knock her career plans off track.
The biomedical biomedical student said she was still going to finish her university degree despite finding fame.
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 Muhammad.
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.”
During Sunday’s big Love Island Reunion show, Shaq clashed with Martin Akinola over his comments about Tanya, calling them “disgusting”.
He blasted the software engineer – who was briefly coupled with Tanya – for X-rated comments he made during a podcast.
Martin claimed he told Shaq: “On the outside I would be f***ing your girls in ways you can’t imagine.”
