Love Island stars announce they're expecting their first baby six months after going official

Love Island stars Samie Elishi and Tyrique Hyde have confirmed that they are expecting a baby together, just eight months after Samie won the third season of spin-off series Love Island: All Stars.

The pair, who originally appeared in the ninth and 10th seasons of the hit ITV reality series respectively, got together earlier this year despite never appearing on the show at the same time.

And after six months of dating, Samie has confirmed via Instagram that the couple are expecting a child. In a video posted on social media, the pair can be seen attending an ultrasound appointment.

The Instagram post was full of comments from fans, followers and plenty of Love Island co-stars, with star Uma Jammeh and Ellie Chadwick - from the 11th and 13th seasons respectively - both leaving messages.
