On Sunday evening's episode of the reality television show, Yewande and fellow Islander Michael Griffiths shared an al fresco breakfast together.
During their meal, Yewande told Michael that she has a "phobia of small holes".
"Do you know there's some weird sponges and they have loads and loads of little circles? It creeps me out,” the 23-year-old scientist said.
Several Love Island viewers expressed their appreciation for Yewande speaking up about her phobia.
"Omg Yewande I feel for you girl. I have the exact same phobia... trypophobia," one person tweeted.
"Yewande having trypophobia makes her so much more relatable to me. I felt that," another remarked.
When an individual has trypophobia, they may experience an aversion to the sight of clusters of small holes, bumps or irregular patterns.
