Is Teddy really a Nigerian prince?<\/h2>\n

He used to be, apparently. On an episode of Love Island Unseen Bits, Teddy revealed he used to be a Nigerian Prince<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During a conversation with former islander Aaron Francis and Tyler Cruickshank about their Nigerian heritages, Teddy said: \u201cI\u2019m going to say something so shocking \u2013 I\u2019m actually a prince of one of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cIt\u2019s like a village, it\u2019s within the Delta State village. So my grandad has obviously passed away so I\u2019m no longer actually prince, I was a prince.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why did Teddy sign up for Love Island?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Speaking in an interview before he entered the villa, the 26-year-old said:\u201dI think I\u2019m ready for love now. Law of attraction is probably what I believe in, so being in the villa is part of that thought process.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not getting any younger. I\u2019ve always been the type of guy to be in long relationships. Never broken three years though. If I do find someone in the villa, I\u2019m going to take it seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n

What does Teddy do for work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Teddy is a Senior Financial Consultant.<\/p>\n

Judging by his Instagram, it looks like he enjoys the finer things in life.<\/p>\n

What is Teddy looking for in a partner?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When it comes to the Love Island ladies, Teddy is open to getting to know them all!<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to get to know all of the girls. I\u2019m not afraid to step on toes to get the girl I want.\u201d<\/p>\n

In terms of what he brings to the table, he added: \u201cI\u2019m cuddly, caring and all my friends, when they have an issue, they call me and confide in me. I\u2019m always that person to lean on. I think I\u2019m going to add that element with the boys. From a girls\u2019 standpoint, they\u2019re going to have to get used to me stirring a few pots and causing a bit of a ruckus. I do think hopefully, me walking into the villa the girls will have something to look at.\u201d<\/p>
