And he said he predicted his time on the show when he was just a teenager.
He said: "When I was 16, I remember being in class and then somehow me and my teacher got roped in to speak about Love Island. Yeah. And I was like, 'miss, when I hit 22, if I have no girlfriend, I'm going to go on Love Island.'
"I thought that's going to be forever away from 16. So I'm thinking, oh yeah, 22, if I don't have a girl, I'm going to go on Love Island."

Toby has always remained quiet about what happened in his break-ups, and said he won't be changing that stance.
He told Tis Yourself: "I feel like that's one of the hardest things and I spoke to my friends about that recently. I was like, 'what do I do in this situation? Where if someone's saying a false narrative, do I come back and start saying the truth?'"

He added: "I know what the truth is and I know how everything happens. So that's all I need to know. And my family and friends know that as well. If the public really want to know it, then go and badger the other person."
After appearing in All Stars last year, he told the Irish podcast Tis Yourself that it was a completely different experience to the first time around.

"Like, I was so young. I was 22. I was a baby, you know, looking back at now, baby, completely different person. Full of life, I'll say.
"So naive and everything. But yeah, I think that's like probably the rawest version of me, which is nice to see. And I've learned a lot of lessons since then, which I have to thank Love Island for."
This time around he was a lot more cautious.
HONEST CHAT
"I remember going back in All Stars and I was like, there was a moment that was hitting me and I was in a convo and someone kept on asking me about my ex and what happened? I was thinking, you guys just want me to say this out loud so everyone can know. But like that's kind of private. So I don't want to say it out.

"So I was like trying to pull back. But I was trying to pull back in a convo, which is kind of weird to me because I never really pulled back in convos. I'll just say how it is.
"I was wary there because it wasn't just me. It was about the other person as well in a relationship. So I didn't want to like air our dirty laundry."
And Toby said he will never be releasing a statement to tell the public if he breaks up with someone.
"I've never done a statement in my life. I can't lie to you. I laugh at these so much. I can't do a statement. I'll just, you guys will just figure it out. You'll figure it out. I don't need to put a statement out saying I'm not with this person anymore. Like it was a relationship for me…

"When I see the statements as well, like some of them, I just think like you are just lying straight through that statement. We're still friends. You're not. You hate each other.
"I just take a break off socials with me whenever something like that happens. Just take a break. Just go and find my family, friends, be with them. And that's it really."

Fears over WWE with promotion heading to Saudi Arabia for Night of Champions amid Iran's warning to US
FEARS are rising over the WWE's Night of Champions after Iran's warning to the US. The wrestling promotion have scheduled the big fixture for June 28 - next Saturday. 6 WWE's Night of Champions is scheduled for Riyadh, Saudi Arabia next Saturday Credit: Getty 6 Travelling to the Middle East could be complicated by the US' bombing of Iranian nuclear sites Credit: Reuters And the action is due to take place at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. John Cena is expected to be part of the action, defending his Undisputed WWE Championship against CM Punk. However, fans are growing increasingly worried about the Night of Champions. It comes after READ MORE IN WWE America used covert tactics and the world's biggest conventional bombs to inflict the devastating bombardment. US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said Operation Midnight Hammer was 'an incredible and overwhelming success' that took months and weeks of planning. But Iran - who are set to meet with the Kremlin on Monday - vowed the "outrageous" attacks would have "everlasting consequences". And an Iranian state television anchor claimed that "every American citizen or military personnel in the region is now a target" and that Iran will finish the conflict Trump started. Most read in WWE The reason this affects the WWE show is because the United States have bases in Saudi Arabia - thus fitting the category of targets outlined by Iranian TV. To complicate matters further, the UK have advised citizens - including wrestlers and WWE fans - 6 6 On Sunday, the British Government also updated information for Saudi Arabia, advising against all travel within 10km of the Yemen border and all but essential travel within 10-80km of the Yemen border. And fans looking forward to the Night of Champions are growing increasingly concerned. One wrote: "With the ever rapid developments happening in that part of the world and especially with what's happened tonight, there's a high chance this ends up getting cancelled. At this point some of the wrestlers might even decide to back out for safety." Another said: "If there was ever a time for WWE to cancel a Saudi Arabia show now is the time they're seriously about to send their entire roster right here in a week." A third added: "Needs to be cancelled and moved to Vegas immediately." And a fourth commented: "To be fair, the event should be postponed or scrapped altogether. Talent's safety should be the primary concern for any wrestling company." WWE is yet to make any statement on next weekend's event. SunSport has contacted WWE for comment. 6 President Donald Trump and his officials labelled the devastating attacks as a huge success Credit: Alamy 6 Satellite images of the Fordow complex where US bombs were dropped Credit: Reuters

Ex-World Snooker Champ maverick Luca Brecel fails to show up for start of season after going public with new girlfriend
LUCA BRECEL did not bother to turn up for the first day of the new snooker season and will miss out on a mega-money Chinese takeaway. The Belgian Bullet has fallen a long way since becoming 3 Luca Brecel has missed the first day of the new season Credit: Getty 3 Brecel was a no-show in Leicester - and appeared to be out of the country with his new flame Shawney Demuyter Credit: Instagram 3 The 2023 world champion swapped the baize for pizza Credit: Instagram The 2025-26 baize campaign began on Sunday with Wuhan Open qualifying and Brecel, 30, was due to play Pakistani Haris Tahir. It was scheduled to take place at 2.30pm at the Mattioli Arena in Leicester. Yet Brecel, who has fallen to 39th on the WST list, appears not to have been in the country. So, a 5-0 walkover was awarded to his opponent, who secured a spot in the main draw in the Far East. READ MORE ON SNOOKER On Saturday, he posted images of himself with his reported new girlfriend Shawney Demuyter and hours before his match he uploaded a photo of pizzas and two wine glasses. If anything, it suggested he was not necessarily in the mood for break-building. It is another sorry situation for a potting maverick who lives by his own rules. His absence means he will not take part in the Wuhan Open, which takes place in the last week of August and has a top prize of about £140,000.
