Love Island star Conor Phillips has sent TikTok into meltdown after seemingly slamming one his fellow islanders who he was good friends with while in the villa
Love Island star Conor Phillips is the subject of much talk after reposting a scathing TikTok about one of his fellow islanders.
Irish rugby player Conor, 25, finished in fifth place on this summer’s series of Love Island with love interest Megan Forte-Clarke after she made an epic return to the villa despite being dumped by the public earlier on in the series.
After making her unexpected comeback, Megan and Conor lost out on a place in the final, but the pair’s blossoming romance appears to be going from strength-to-strength now that the pair are both back living in Dublin. It comes after Love Island’s Harry confirmed he was dating another Islander’s friend ‘right before’ the show.

However, the couple haven’t been able to escape the drama post-villa. Despite being good friends with all of the islanders on this series, Conor has found himself in a spot of bother after reposting a scathing TikTok video aimed at his fellow islander, Megan Moore.
Megan was painted as the villa ‘mean girl’ while on the show and had several altercations with runner-up Shakira Khan – who Conor coupled-up with one the show after the pair realised they were much more than best friends.
Throughout the duration of the show, Meg made dozens of cruel comments about Shakira which were never aired on either The Movie Night or the The Graffties ceremony.
This infuriated fans due to the fact that every mean comment Shakira made about Meg was screened for everyone to see as they claimed producers were trying their best to paint the brunette bombshell as the villa villain.
Since leaving the show, it appears that Conor has chosen his side amid the huge divide in the cast this season, and it seems as though he’s got Shakira’s back all the way. The rugby player not only liked but also reposted a fan-made video calling Meg ‘fake’ on TikTok.
The premise of the video was based around the fact that since leaving the villa, it appears that Meg has been trying her best to do some serious damage control by making dozens of TikTok videos with islanders she had disagreements with while on the show, including Andrada and Emma.
Conor appeared to agree with what had been said in the video, and naturally, fans went crazy after realising that he took the time to repost it. However, as the video and his post gained more and more attention, Conor released a statement claiming that the repost was a ‘mistake’ on his part.
“I reposted by accident. Meg is my big sis,” he wrote in the comments of the now viral video. However, not everyone was so convinced by the ‘accident’ as they rushed to the comments to call out the islander.
One wrote: “The repost button is too far for it to be an accident.” Another quipped: “Yeah, yeah Conor. Whatever you want to tell yourself. We believe you. NOT.”
“He was probably sending it to someone and accidentally clicked repost omg,” someone else suggested. While another TikTok user said: “I think it was Megan reposting it just to wind him up and see the drama unfold. She would be someone who would do that lol.”
Despite the TikTok drama, Conor has gained huge popularity since appearing on the show and has already garnered a whopping 204,000k followers on Instagram since joining the ITV2 show nine weeks ago.
