Love Island may have finished for another summer but that hasn't kept its stars off the television.
First Dates viewers were surprised last night to see former contestant Tyla Carr on the show so soon after she had been in the villa.
However it was actually just a clever move by Channel 4 who decided to repeat the episode which featured Tyla (or Tyler as she called herself then) which originally aired back in December.
Meeting your date’s mum on national TV. Terrifying. #FirstDates pic.twitter.com/WnecsHbb44

It saw the then 22-year-old go out on a date with 30-year-old Bobby, who memorably brought his mum along with him as she was also going a date in the restaurant. The pair hit it off and said they would definitely like to see each other again, but eh, clearly that didn't work out.
Hope you’re looking forward to seeing Bobby’s mum again too, Tyler! ? #FirstDates pic.twitter.com/o7BakVdLib

Tyla's appearance on the show caused quite a stir though with many thinking it was filmed after her appearance on Love Island.
