Love Island viewers are preparing for war in tomorrow night’s recoupling – specifically between Tanya Manhenga and Shaq Muhammad.
It seems everyone’s heads were turned during Casa Amor this series, as even the Islanders we thought were the most loyal (Will Young, we’re looking at you) started locking lips with the new guys and girls.
But Tanya especially seems to have found herself a new someone, having grown very close with Martin Akinola, despite dropping the L-bomb with Shaq just days prior.
Since, the two have been flirting non-stop and even shared cheeky kisses, leaving viewers on edge about what that means for her romance with Shaq, and what the showdown will be when they’re face-to-face again.
So, with Maya Jama making a shocking return on Thursday night and forcing the Islanders to choose between their Casa lovers and their OG couples, audiences at home have a lot of questions.
Predicting a blow-up, one Twitter user wrote: ‘Nah the actual scenes when Tanya walks back in with Martin. Shaq won’t know what’s hit him’.

Agreeing, another wrote: ‘Shaq is actually gonna launch himself off the terrace if Tanya walks back in with Martin’.
‘“if tanya brought someone back it’ll break my heart” oop i got some news for you shaq’, another tweeted.
Another person wrote: ‘Okay I know I said I want Tanya to cheat on shaq but I take it back. No-one deserves that my hearts breaking for him’.
Agreeing, one added: ‘I’m not even team Shaq but I agree that he doesn’t deserve this. I wish Tanya had set herself free earlier when she had the chance.’
Others aren’t even totally convinced that Martin likes Tanya as much as she likes him, leaving them to wonder whether their new romance will even last.
Some even branded her flirting with Martin ‘cringe’ and ‘thirsty’, confused as to how she became so keen to get with him.

Who do you think will stay loyal? (Picture: ITV/Shutterstock)
Tanya and Shaq were one of the first proper couples to fully commit in the main villa, having even had sex already when in the hideaway.
Things took a turn, though, when Tanya compared him to her ex… and oh boy, he did not like that.

The couple got into a heated discussion that resulted in Tanya claiming her current partner was displaying similar traits to her ex-boyfriend, with even viewers at home sure it was time up for them.
So, with the door of Casa Amor about to close and Tanya seemingly pretty content with Martin… but Shaq also certain she’s going to come back to him… we’re ready for fireworks.
Love Island airs each night at 9pm on ITV2.
