NEW Islander Tyrique Hyde says he'd have sex on Love Island - but only under one condition.
The 23-year-old Dartford midfielder says the decision to romp in the villa is a "bit of a sticky one".
Tyrique, whose dad Micah was a footballer, said he's being watched from home by his mum and teenage sister who are both massive fans of Love Island.
Keen not to get intimate in front of them, Tyrique says he'd have sex if he felt a "connection" - and would hope the villa cameras wouldn't catch him at it.
"Sex is a bit of a sticky one because obviously I've got a younger sister," Tyrique told The Sun.

"She's 14 and I've got a mum who they are avid Love Island fans, you know what I mean?
"They watch the show every night together, so it's a bit of sticky one where I'm not really gonna be going in there just having sex every night sort of thing.
"But if I do find a connection, genuinely and like them, if it was right then I'm not against having sex just under the covers so they don't see."
Tyrique is swapping being a semi-pro footballer to be in the summer series' original line-up.
He tells us he's never had a girlfriend and has never been in love.
Asked if he's a player off the pitch, as well as on, he told The Sun: "I have been known to date more than one person at a time I'll be honest, in the past.
"But I feel like it's hard, the word player, because the people I’m dating know that I'm dating other people. So it's not like I'm going behind anyone's back or anything like that.
"Am I really a player if I'm doing it openly and honestly, does it really make me a player? People have got their opinions.
"I'll shoot my shot in the villa. I'm not afraid of stepping on anyone's toes."
Despite not yet being a well known name, his close friend is 2021 Love Island star Toby Aromolaran who came second on the show with Chloe Burrows.

And he also knows former Islander Aaron Simpson through playing football.
It's given Tyrique an opportunity to gain some insight from the previous stars.
He said: "I had a conversation with Toby before we went, obviously being my close friend he literally just said to me,
"'Listen, bro, just be yourself if you're not yourself, people are gonna see through.'
"If you're trying to be something you're not just literally be yourself and people like you and you'll smash it. In regards to Dos and Dont's we didn't really go into that much detail, you know, because I didn't want to ruin that experience for myself.
"He had his experience. I have my experience, and I didn't wanna go in there with expectations or anything like that to sort of go with the flow and just let it flow without actually knowing what's actually going on, You know what I mean?
"So it wasn't really that detailed. He just said, Be yourself, literally.
"And also, I played for the same team as Aaron Simpson when he come out of Love Island.
"So I also know Aaron Simpson."
