Awkward: Love Island viewers were left embarrassed during Thursday’s episode when Tanya Menhenga was unimpressed with David Salako’s kissing skills
However, the kiss didn’t go as planned, as Tanya later admitted at Beach Hut that it wasn’t for her.
She said: ‘After 20 seconds I knew it wasn’t so.
Viewers quickly took to Twitter to react to the moment with one reading, “Get that man away from Tanya, David is not for her.”
Another wrote, “Tanya did NOT rate that kiss from David,” while another added, “Tanya didn’t like David’s kiss.”
Uh Oh: The kiss didn’t go as planned, as Tanya later admitted to Beach Hut that it wasn’t for her, saying, “After 20 seconds, I knew it wasn’t.”
Steamy: The couple kissed during a game of beer pong after David dared to kiss the girl he liked the most.
A fourth viewer said, “I’m here for Tanya and David until someone better comes in for her,” while a fifth wrote, “Tanya, David’s not the one.”
During the same challenge, Tanya snubbed both David and Shaq Mohammad, with whom she is paired.
After taking a sip of her drink, Tanya was instructed to, ‘Find yourself with three guys that you think are the best kissers.
First, Tanya walked up to an unsuspecting Tom and leaned in.
Reaction: Viewers quickly took to Twitter to react to the moment with one reading, “Get that man away from Tanya, David is not for her.”
He then made his way towards Ron, at which point other islanders started yelling.
With one last guy to choose from, and presumably Shaq or David in line for the kiss, Tanya opted for Kai.
On Twitter, one viewer wrote: David and Shaq didn’t get a top 3 kiss from Tanya. You can’t make this up.’
Another added: “Shaq and David crying blood right now.”
In trouble: After taking a sip of her drink, Tanya was instructed to ‘Find yourself with three guys you think are the best kissers’ where she chose Kai (pictured), Tom and Ron
‘Shaq and David are hurt. I can see it in his eyes,’ chimed in another.
The memes also began to flood: “It’s the fact that Tanya didn’t kiss Shaq or David when picking the best kisser.”
Shortly after the game ended, Love Island was thrown into chaos when a huge fight broke out between Haris Namani and Shaq Muhammad.
The two islanders had to be separated by the other children as they almost came to blows in a tense standoff while the children had a debrief on the earlier challenge.
Showdown: Shortly after the game ended, Love Island descended into chaos when a huge fight broke out between Haris Namani and Shaq Muhammad.
The drama began when Haris commented on David’s new passionate kiss with Shaq’s partner Tanya, prompting Shaq to call the TV salesman a “shit stirrer.”
Newcomer David had previously dared to kiss the islander he likes the most for 30 seconds, and after flirting with Tanya, it was inevitable that he would choose her, much to Shaq’s chagrin.
And when the guys later sat down to discuss the events of the game, Haris asked David what he thought of the kiss, prompting Shaq to accuse him of trying to cause trouble.
