Love Island’s Tanya admits Shaq has ‘given her the ick’
Just hours earlier, they were the first Love Island couple to drop the famous L-bomb.
But already Love Island’s Shaq Muhammad and Tanya Manhenga have hit the rocks, after she admitted that his furious reaction to her behaviour in the kissing challenge ‘gave her the ick.’
In scenes that aired on Thursday night, Shaq was furious when he learned Tanya had won the villa kissing challenge, after earning the highest scores from the boys with her passionate smooches.
He quickly accused her of being ‘disrespectful’ with her steamy displays of affection, which didn’t go down well with Tanya and other girls in the villa.
Could one of Love Island’s strongest pairs be on the rocks?
Over? Love Island’s Shaq Muhammad and Tanya Manhenga have hit the rocks, after she admitted that his furious reaction to her behaviour in the kissing challenge ‘gave her the ick’
In the episode, each of the girls were tasked with kissing the blindfolded boys, each earning a score out of 10.
While Tanya earned a perfect score from her man Shaq, her kissing skills were also praised by Ron Hall and Kai Fagan, who each gave her nine points.
It was then revealed that Tanya earned the highest score in the challenge, leaving Shaq noticeably unimpressed.
He asked Ron: ‘Am I overreacting?’
And as word reached the girls, and Tanya, that Shaq was annoyed, she said: ‘If there’s one thing that will give me the ick, it’s this. It’s not that deep. That’s so petty’.
She went onto add in the Beach Hut: ‘I would think that a guy would impressed that his girl won the challenge, and everyone gets a taste of what he gets everyday, every minute in bed, but instead, it’s the other way round.’
Shaq then told Ron: ‘There’s a way to go about it and be respectful, she ain’t respectful. I ain’t chatting to her.’
He went onto tell Tom Clare: ‘I’m not speaking to her!’ while the boys suggested that he should ‘take some space’.

Cheeky! In the episode, each of the girls were tasked with kissing the blindfolded boys, each earning a score out of 10
‘If she every comes to me and tries to say, it’s a challenge, I’ll just walk away from her,’ he added, with the episode ending on a cliffhanger.
Friday’s episode, one of the boys will be dumped from the ‘Love Island’ villa after viewers vote to save their favourite, although new bombshells Casey O’Gorman and Jordan Ordofin are exempt.
The couple’s tiff comes mere hours after Shaq said that he loved Tanya, making them the first Love Island couple this series to say the famous three words.

‘I love you,’ he whispered before Tanya reciprocated the feeling, telling him: ‘I love you, baby!’
ITV viewers were shocked at how fast the pair, who have been coupled up since day one, dropped the L-bomb and expressed their thoughts on Twitter.
One penned: I’m not even surprised Shaq has already said I love you, he’s definitely the type that falls fast and hard’
Another said: ‘Shaq needs to stop forcing it. How long have you known her? Love?!’
A third added: Shaq saying I love you after 2+ weeks, Tanya talking about marriage… they’ve lost the plot I fear’

Love Island viewers were also previously left in shock after lovebirds Shaq and Tanya confessed to having sex.
The action-packed episode saw student Tanya and security officer Shaq unanimously chosen by the group to head to the hideaway for a romantic evening after it was opened for the first time.

The duo found a wardrobe filled with lingerie and even handcuffs as things got steamy – with Tanya admitting the following morning that they got ‘down and dirty’.
The pair undressed to underwear as they canoodled with Tanya performing for her beau a sexy dance complete with riding crop in hand.
As they woke up beside each other the next morning, Tanya told Shaq: ‘Being in here, makes you see like what it’s going to be like on the outside.’
