One Love Island star has been playfully called out as the villa’s biggest vape addict after fellow Islanders revealed the lengths they would go to just to get their first puff of the day.
Speaking exclusively to the Daily Star, Tommy Murphy couldn’t resist exposing close friend Tina Rad’s vaping habit, claiming she was always the first person through the villa doors whenever the opportunity arose.
“Tina was vaping too much, weren’t you?” Tommy laughed. “We used to wake up in the morning. She’d sprint at the front door for a vape, like sprint.” Tina didn’t deny the accusation and admitted her fellow Islanders regularly had to deal with her impatience.

“I was the worst,” she confessed. “I would argue with everyone over it.”
Tommy agreed there was no competition when it came to who loved their vape the most. He said Islanders were allowed five minute breaks to hit the vape, but Tina often broke the rule and took 15 minutes.
“She’s the worst by a mile,” he joked. “It’s a nice little break as well.”
Looking back on earlier Love Island series, Tina admitted she’d have been in her element before the show’s rules changed.
“I wouldn’t stop,” she laughed. “The good old days when they were allowed to in the villa. That would have been my prime being in there.”
Tommy couldn’t resist one final dig, adding: “That would never have been out your hand.”
The light-hearted confession comes after the pair also lifted the lid on life after the villa, revealing the Love Island cast group chat has become the place where everyone keeps in touch.

Tina explained she’s taken it upon herself to welcome every Islander as they leave the show.
“Tommy said: “Tina messages everyone as soon as they come out. It’s quite cute, really.” “And then I add them in the group chat,” Tina added.
Tommy joked that he’s technically the administrator, saying: “I’m in the group chat. I’m the admin. So I put the approval on.”
However, Tina revealed Tommy almost stopped one Islander from joining altogether.
“He was trying to not let people in,” she laughed. “I was like, ‘You can’t do that.'”
After a brief debate over who it was, Tommy admitted it had been Chidi.
“I didn’t not want him in,” he insisted. “I was just like, whoa, too many requests that day. The chat was going off.”
According to the pair, the conversation hasn’t slowed down since the ITV series ended. “It’s hectic. It’s crazy,” Tommy said. “Everyone just puts stupid stuff in there.”

Asked what fills the chat, he added: “I just put memes and that in there, stupid videos.” Tina said it’s also where everyone organises reunions, explaining: “When we link up, where we’re going, what we’re wearing.”
The pair have continued entertaining fans since leaving the villa, despite Tommy recently finding himself at the centre of post-show drama after secretly filming Tina listening to a voice note from Namibia “Mibs” Adjei.
The clip sparked a row that spilled onto Love Island: Aftersun, with Mibs branding Tommy a “clout chaser” and “pot stirrer”.
Speaking previously to the Daily Star, Tina insisted she still hoped to move on from the disagreement.
“We’re going to speak tonight,” she said. “We’ll see how that goes. I didn’t have any beef. I didn’t make that up. I just want to know why. Hopefully, it could get squashed tonight.”
