Love Island fans have hit out at some of the islanders following scenes on tonight’s episode of the ITV2 show, in which Shakira Khan had to save herself from being dumped
Viewers have criticised some of the islanders on this year’s Love Island following scenes that aired in tonight’s episode. They have complained over one islander being the subject of “snarky” comments and being excluded.
Shakira Khan had been left single in last night’s launch episode after Ben Holbrough, who she had been coupled up with, was ‘stolen’ by bombshell Toni Laites. Host Maya Jama announced that she had 24 hours to get a different boy to couple up with her or Shakira would be dumped from the villa herself.
During tonight’s episode, Shakira was seen getting to know some of the other islanders before the potential recoupling. Fans however criticised some of the other girls, complaining that they were excluding her and making digs.
One fan commented on X: “What are these snarky remarks about Shakira? it’s giving insecure.” Another viewer said: “The girls excluding Shakira like it’s somehow her fault that Maya says she has graft or she goes home.” A third said: “Ok it’s giving mean girls.”
Someone wrote: “This energy from the girls towards Shakira is giving insecure.” Another questioned: “Why they being mean to Shakira tho.” Defending her, one fan said: “Um why are they so shady towards shakira?? how is any of this her fault.” Another said: “They are mean girls…Shakira is not doing anything wrong.”
Not everyone felt the same though. One fan said: “Am I the only one who feels like the girls weren’t even being mean or anything but yall love a mean girls clique storyline.”
At the end of the episode, several boys stood up when asked by Maya if they felt that they had a “stronger connection” with Shakira than their current partner. She ended up choosing to couple up with Harry Cooksley, which meant that Sophie Lee, who he had been with, was dumped from the villa.
Love Island continues tomorrow night on ITV2 and ITVX from 9pm.
