Love Island fans furiously slammed the villa boys as they turned on Shakira Khan

After smearing a cream pie in her face, the taxi driver had told her: "So, I think you and your friends' attitude actually stinks.
"I think you always try and get yourself caught up in everyone else's business, shouting across the garden, being a mouthy when we called it on day one.
"I just think you're not the kind of girl I go for."
Shakira responded by calling him a "d******d".
Furious viewers described the scenes as "hard to watch", saying it felt like a coordinated attack on the marketing engineer.
Taking to a Reddit forum, one asked: "What are your opinions on Shakira getting pied today ? do you think it was deserved?
"I'm surprised Shakira sticking up for her friends has backfired on her so badly wheras there's no backfire for Meg when she said 'it'd be funny if Harry goes back to helena so Shakira looks stupid.'"
Someone else added: 'Men always turn on women they feel attracted to who've slightly rejected them. They cope with rejection by turning it into anger and disgust.'
Fans also questioned why Shakira was being singled out for speaking up, when other contestants like Meg faced no consequences for her comment.
Another said: 'I'm surprised Shakira sticking up for her friends has backfired on her so badly, whereas there's no backlash for Meg."
Love Island secret romance spotted by fans as pair snog in controversial game
A fourth chimed in with: 'The way she reacted is how people react when they're being bullied. It was uncomfortable to watch.'
Ben, in particular, faced sharp criticism, with some labelling him 'a prime example' of the behaviour they felt had made the moment feel unnecessarily cruel.
One more concluded: 'It makes me question whether I should actually watch this show. When a principled, self-assured, intelligent woman gets beaten down by awful men for calling out bad behaviour - it's genuinely upsetting.'
Gloucester-based Ben was originally paired with Mancunian beauty Shakira, but their relationship was rocky from the outset as she constantly questioned their chemistry.
Earlier in the series, she was accused of leading Ben on - but during a later installment, dumped him outright.
Shakira gave a range of reasons for her decision, including telling Ben that he "dulled my sparkle."
"We don't speak of anything of note," she told him as the pair argued.
Fans watching at home noticed that Ben looked devastated during the chat, but then thought it was bizarre that he outwardly agreed with Shakira's reasoning.
"Nah Ben looked like he was abt to cry when Shakira said he dulled her sparkle," one Love Island fan wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Another added with a meme of a someone wearing multiple masks: "Ben telling Shakira he's on the same page as her."
And a third wrote alongside a skull emoji: "Ben pretending he felt the same way as Shakira."
A fourth person commented: "Talk about different pages… not sure Shakira and Ben are even in the same book."
Even though she's now flying solo in the Love Island casa, Shakira may be rekindling her fling with Harry after the pair had a conversation about their future.
"I wanted to see how you were feeling, I think initially you were number one and I f****d it," Harry told her.
They also discussed his romantic indecision as he is paired up with Helena, but also seems interested in Yasmin as well.
Shakira told Harry: "It was you, and still is you. But it's your behaviour for me that I can't tolerate."
And Harry pressed her for the potential for a second chance: "If that could possibly be arranged?"
He also told Shakira: "You're the one," despite his moves on Yasmin and Helena.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

LOVE Island fans accuse Islander of being "biggest game player" in the villa after spotting telling clue. Viewers are convinced Love Island contestant Dejon is "playing it safe" with Meg - and only in it to win it. 5 Dejon was branded a "game player" after last night's episode Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 5 Sparks flew between Billykiss and Dejon on their date Credit: Shutterstock Editorial Last night saw Dejon get a text saying that a new female bombshell named Billykiss was ready to make herself known to him and Conor. They headed to a beautiful location with stunning sea views to get to know the her over a glass of bubbly. The 28-year-old content creator from Dublin had a lot of flirty banter with Dejon and seemed to have a lot of common, such as family and spirituality. Dejon told her: "You're really beautiful you know," and asked her if she would move to London for him, to which she replied: "If you were serious, yeah." Later in the villa, Dejon filled in the boys saying: "Yeah, she's a proper nice girl bro. Like, mad sweet... yeah she's a pretty girl as well. Her body's ridiculous." A curious Harrison asked: "What's the chat saying, good?" Dejon replied: "Yeah, good chat, to be fair. She's confident. She's in unbelievable shape." Meanwhile, Meg told the girls: "I feel like Dejon is going to be very into her, yeah." However, fans reckon that Dejon will stick this "his Meg" just to stay in the game. Taking to the Instagram comment section, one fan said: "When does his head never turn? He chickens out cos he wants to play it safe… with 'his Meg'" Love Island villa rocked as two hot new bombshells make surprise entrance Another added: "He won't go for her even if he likes her. He's sticking with Meg for the wrong reasons, I believe." A third penned: "Dejon is playing hard for that money." A fourth wrote: "He's not interested in Meg. He wants prize money and fame." A fifth predicted: "I don't think he will go for her, as he knows sticking with the same girl will get you in the final!"

"The cast were reeling after this shock move and one ousted Islander in particular will be much missed.' A first look clip showed Meg convinced that the new bombshells are going to "steal" another islander in a couple. Should she be worried?

Love Island's Megan blames fellow islanders for her treatment of Tommy as she admits regrets over behaviour
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island's Megan has blamed fellow Islanders for her treatment of Tommy, as she admitted to regretting some of her behaviour in the villa. Last week Megan, along with Remell, was dumped after the public were asked to choose their favourite girl and boy. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Megan was dumped from the Love Island villa in the public vote last week Credit: ITV 5 The Islander opened up about her behaviour in the villa Credit: TikTok / @ondemandents 5 Fans were unhappy about her treatment of Tommy Credit: Eroteme 5 Megan came under fire after she dumped Tommy for Conor Credit: ITV Megan had a tense final week in the villa. Fans were left unhappy after she ditched Tommy, who she had been with from the start, and move on with rugby lad Conor. The pair shared secret snogs on the Terrace behind smitten Tommy's back, infuriating viewers at home. Fans also turned on 'nasty' Megan after she appeared to be gleeful when Conor and Tommy rowed over her, even calling it "brilliant". But now the brunette stunner is keen to clear the air on what REALLY went down in the villa between the three of them. Speaking to On Demand Entertainment on TikTok, Megan was asked if she would do anything differently, and she said: "I'd taken a breath." Appearing to blame her fellow Islanders for her actions, she said: "But you know when you hear something and you just see red, and I saw red for about four days, and then obviously, while I was seeing red, Connor swooped in, so it was just a really bad time. "And of course you only see the hour out of the 24, so I know I've left things on good terms with Tommy, we obviously didn't have a lot of time on our side. "Well, I like to think of time as if the essence, we could have been mates. But no, like, it was fine. When you see red like that, someone needs to sit you down and say, girl." Continuing, Megan said: "I felt like the girls were seeing where I was coming from, so I think that's why I got more wound up, because I was like, well if they're all seeing, why isn't the gentleman? OG Love Island girl and 'cheat' boy kicked out of the villa after explosive rows over secret kisses "But when you're in there, emotions are high. When you hear he said, she said stuff, it just winds you up even more." 'FIX' CLAIMS Megan was dumped last Friday, but following her elimination some fans accused bosses of "fixing" the public dumping, in a bid to get rid of her after all the Conor and Tommy drama. The Irish star found herself in the bottom three girls, along with then revealed as Shakira, Megan and Toni. And the bottom three boys in the firing line were Ben, Harry and Remell. 5 It came after she was in the bottom three girls, along with Shakira and Toni Credit: ITV Shockingly, Megan and Remell received the least votes from the public and were then immediately dumped from the villa. But Love Island fans came up with a theory about why Megan was the one to be dumped from the villa out of the girls. They think because of the public turning on Megan over the last few days, bosses were keen to see the Irish beauty leave the villa. Taking to social media, one said: "I'm guessing the producers didn't like Megan. "I bet they wouldn't have allowed the other Megan to go, had she been bottom. "Sometimes they let the public votes decide other times they let the Islanders choose... either way it's very very manipulated." Another echoed this "Basically the producers were happy to let Megan go, otherwise they'd have had the Islanders pick. "They would've 100% saved Megan. "I think they wanted to get rid of her once they saw her unhinged and abusive behaviour."
