Love Island star Tina Rad has revealed she jokingly asked co-star Tommy Murphy for "nudes" in Instagram messages exchanged before entering the villa. The pair, who appeared on the latest series of the ITV dating show, laughed off the cheeky exchange during an exclusive interview with the Daily Star.
Despite fans speculating that Tina Rad and Tommy Murphy could be more than friends after leaving the villa, the duo insisted there is no romance on the cards. Social media users have been fuelling rumours with TikTok videos, but Tommy shut down the speculation: "No, we're just friends. Tommy loves women too much. I don't want to be the tenth one."
Pre-Villa Messages Revealed
The conversation took a hilarious turn when they admitted they had spoken on Instagram long before stepping foot inside the Love Island villa. When asked about the messages, Tina laughed: "You don't want to know what I said." Tommy then interrupted: "She asked me for nudes." Tina, hiding her face, insisted she was joking: "I literally just popped up saying 'nudes'. But guys, I swear I was joking."
Fortunately, the cheeky request did not result in any explicit pictures being exchanged. Asked how he responded, Tommy revealed: "I didn't send any." Instead, he jokingly fired back: "You first." The flirty exchange quickly fizzled out, with Tommy admitting: "It dried up, didn't it?"
Gym Encounters and Friendship
The pair also recalled bumping into each other at the gym before either appeared on Love Island. Tommy joked that Tina had been keeping an eye on him, but she quickly denied it, laughing: "Oh my God, I was not." Although fans continue to speculate about their relationship, the pair insisted they remain just good mates.
