The pair were spotted in the background during a tense chat between American Islander Toni and Emily.
Toni and Emily clashed in fiery scenes with the former accusing her costar of being nosey on the ITV reality dating series.
Toni - who arrived as the first bombshell of the series - got annoyed after hearing a conversation between Emily and Conor.
The row then started after Emily accused Toni of talking behind her back and was warned by Meg that Toni had said she was being "nosey" and described her as "Little Miss Sunshine."
Toni was also seen talking about Emily to Shakira, who agreed with Toni's views.
Following their row, an exasperated Emily said she thought Toni was "just trying to cause a problem," and "she's f****g nuts."
But amidst the drama fans couldn't help notice Shakria, 22, and scaffolder Shea, 25, getting cosy on the daybeds.
The pair were spotted laughing together despite the unfolding drama and fans think a new romance could be brewing.
Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), one user said: 'Toni and Emily arguing and all I could focus on was Shea making Shakira LAUGH in the background??? Oh my ship has potential to sail and I'm here for it.'
'Okay, love the Toni drama and all but did anyone notice Shakira and Shea in the background. They looked so cute together,' chimed another.

A third penned: 'I peeped shea and shakira chatting in the background today.
'You also have to realize that they haven't showed us all of the conversations. We know Shae and Shakira have chatted for example bc when Shae was fighting for his spot he said he'd like to continue getting to know her even though we haven't seen them talking at all yet.'
'SHEA PULL SHAKIRA ALREADY #LoveIsland' exclaimed a fourth.
The Mancunian beauty is now open to getting to know more people after she called things off with model Ben.
Their relationship was rocky from the outset as Shakira was left constantly questioning their chemistry.
Shakira gave a range of reasons for her decision, including telling Ben that he "dulled my sparkle."
She is now growing close with Harry Cooksley and things are heating up between the pair after they shared a steamy kiss in yesterday's Spin The Bottle game.

Love Island fans urge Islander to 'go home' after surprise comment
Love Island fans tell Conor to follow Megan out of the villa and 'go home' after he asked her to wait for him after she was voted as the least favourite girl and dumped Love Island fans told Conor to follow Megan home after she was dumped from the island in Friday's episode. After days of back and forth, Megan and Conor finally decided to give it a go and focus on their connection, however, this didn't last long as Megan was brutally dumped from the villa. Conor was shocked and upset as soon as Megan's name was called, and he shed a few tears as he said his goodbyes. Fans have since been left confused as Conor asked Megan to wait for him while he remained in the villa, with many fans telling him to 'go home' if he really does like her. One fan took to x, formally known as Twitter, and said: 'ffs he cared that much, he didn't go with her', while another asked: 'Why didn't Connor leave w her then??'. A third penned: 'I ain't crying. he could have gone with her', while a fourth added: 'Don't ask her to wait,..leave with her'. As the episode continued, Conor said he didn't know if he would find another connection like the one he had with Megan, which further confused fans. Conor said: 'I hand on heart do not think that anyone is going to come through that door that I fancy more than Megan… I look at her like a girlfriend on the outside.' This follows after a dramatic week in the villa which saw Remell and Megan brutally dumped after being voted as the least favourite boy and girl. Alima had already called off her connection with Remell after his actions in 'The Sleepover' where he was kissing bombshell Poppy outside of challenges. Alima said she 'was done' even though Remell decided to stay coupled up with her. Megan on the other hand had just started her connection with Conor which seemed to be going in the right direction before she was sent packing. It was an emotional goodbye for Megan and tears were shed among the girls and boys who she was leaving behind. Before she left, she sat down for a private moment with Conor where he asked her to wait for him, and she told him she would. After leaving the villa, Megan said: 'I'm gutted to have left because I was getting to a really good place with Conor and I'd tied up loose ends with Tommy and Emily. "I would've liked to have left on better terms with Tommy. We were getting there, but that comes with time and I didn't have time on my side. I made best friends there and had an absolute ball.'

NAME: Harry Cooksley AGE: 30 FROM: Guildford OCCUPATION: Gold trader, semi-professional footballer and model WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? The girl next door that makes me laugh and can hold eye contact with me. I don't think I'd go for the most obvious girl, I like a real sweet girl. CLAIM TO FAME? I'm the body double for Declan Rice. So when he does a shoot, any body close ups will actually be me. You'll never see my face, but you'll see my shoulder or chest, that kind of thing.
