Love Island's Tyrique Hyde cradles pregnant girlfriend Samie Elishi's baby bump at Pride Of Britain Awards just hours after revealing they are expecting their first child - seven months into romance

Pregnant Samie Elishi and Tyrique Hyde made their first appearance at the Pride Of Britain Awards on Monday after announcing they are expecting a baby together.

The couple, who have been together for seven months, revealed their joyful baby news just hours before arriving on the red carpet at London's Grosvenor Hotel.

Tyrique, 27, looked dapper in a grey suit as he sweetly cradled Samie's bump while posing for photos.

Meanwhile, Samie, 26, cut a glamorous figure in a satin halterneck dress and matching pale pink heels.

Tyrique and Samie narrowly avoided an awkward run-in with his ex Ella Thomas, two years after they called time on their romance. 

Samie and Tyrique shared a sweet video montage of their first scan and precious early moments in the pregnancy over the tune of Jodeci's 1991 hit Forever My Lady. 

Tyrique added a caption on his Instagram reading: 'Don't make a scene. Can't wait for this next chapter.. Love you @Samie Elishi.' 

In February, Samie, 26, won series three of Love Island: All Stars alongside Ciaran Davies, although the couple split three weeks after leaving the villa.

Samie hard-launched her new romance with Tyrique, 27, in April, as she shared a glimpse of a romantic Morocco trip on Instagram.

In March, Ciaran, 23, broke his silence on his split from Samie around the time she was heard to be 'growing close' to Tyrique. 

Ciaran revealed what really happened between him and Samie, while also addressing rumours of a crossover involving Tyrique. 

The reality star insisted their relationship in the villa was 'good' and 'genuine', but their picture-perfect romance quickly unravelled after their win.

Ciaran explained: 'From leaving the villa I went straight back to South Wales… Samie went straight to London. We were talking everyday, we would be on Facetime every night the communication was great – we set plans for meeting up with each other a week later.'

The rugby player revealed he later travelled to London to meet Samie's family and take her out for dinner, but things soon changed after he returned home.

He said: 'I knew she was busy, she was going to New York. Then the messages started to get very very distant. I felt the energy wasn't being matched.'

The star added that after trying to call her, he realised the relationship had become 'one-sided'.

Earlier this year, insiders told the Daily Mail's Molly Clayton that Samie’s connection with semi-professional footballer Tyrique may have been brewing long before she ever decided to try her luck again on the All Stars version of the show. 

According to a source close to the situation, the cracks between Samie and Ciaran appeared almost immediately after the show wrapped.

Samie, who is from Islington in north London, worked as a senior estate agent coordinator prior to the show while Ciaran hailed from the rural town of Pencoed in South Wales – and the cultural differences became impossible to ignore.

Meanwhile, Tyrique, from Chafford Hundred in Essex, was already embedded in Samie’s social circle and aligned in terms of lifestyle and outlook.

‘Samie and Ciaran came out of Love Island and went to visit Wales almost instantly,’ the source said.

‘When they got there, Samie decided Ciaran wasn’t for her as he came from a small town. She realised their lives were too different.’

It was a stark realisation for a couple who, on screen, had appeared aligned in both ambition and affection.

But thousands of miles away from the South African villa where All Stars was shot, reality quickly set in and the pace of their lives and upbringings reportedly clashed.

‘She came back from Wales, and went on a date with Tyrique,’ the insider said.

‘And the pair have been spending a lot of time together. They have even booked a trip in a few weeks’ time to see if they get on well.’

The revelation raised eyebrows among fans, particularly given Tyrique’s very public admiration for Samie in the months leading up to her All Stars appearance.

Long before rumours of their romance surfaced, Tyrique had made no secret of his attraction.

In an online clip months before Samie entered the villa, when asked hypothetically who he would most like to share a bed with, Tyrique didn’t hesitate: ‘Samie, she’s very good looking.’

Then, days before the latest All Stars season started, he admitted: ‘I rate Samie. She’s a good-looking girl. I’ve seen her in real life and I have been around her at events and she is so cool.’
