Tanyel’s hair salon, Revan Hair, is also Instagram on @revanhair. The account, which had 693 followers at the time of publication, specialises in flat weft extensions, balayage, tints, and keratin treatments, per the bio.
Tanyel’s celebrity crush is Channing Tatum, though she’s quick to point out that she doesn’t “like pretty boys.”
“They give me the ‘ick’ because they always have a crap personality,” she said in a statement released by ITVX. “Channing Tatum is handsome but not too pretty. He’s manly and he can dance. If a man can dance I’m in love with him straight away.”
As for her “elevator pitch” on why someone should want to date her, she said: “I’m hard to get, confident, funny, charismatic, good looking and happy. I’m also a very loyal person, what is there not to love?”
