Love Island fans were left in shock Friday night after Tanya referred to Shaq as her boyfriend.
It comes after she convinced the airport security guard to apologize to Tom for his antics after Sports Day.
It all started on the Wednesday night after the annual Sports Day competition, when Shaq and Will “childishly” continually criticized Tom for his team’s loss on Thursday night.
Tensions rose as the islanders relaxed after the busy day, but Shaq didn’t stop cheering for Tom after beating his team at the children’s games.
Shaq quipped to Tom: ‘You’re a grown man, stick your chin up. You go again, you go back to the training ground we go again. Alright. It is only a game. Just winners and losers, right?
Boyfriend? Love Island fans were left in shock Friday night after Tanya referred to Shaq as her boyfriend.
But Tanya seemed less than impressed with his antics as she told Shaq to “go away and you’re done.”
Shaq couldn’t help himself and kept digging into Tom, adding, “I say we go over there and let Samie give Tom a hug to calm down.” You lost the game. It’s a joke bro. It’s a joke.’
Tom finally lost his cool and yelled, ‘Shaq, I’m telling you it’s not funny, but why are you all over me all the time? He wasn’t funny the first time. Just fuck off bro and leave it. I get it, now go.
Tanya then insisted that Shaq apologize to Tom, to which he agreed.
Returning to her after their conversation, Tanya exclaimed ‘I have the best boyfriend ever!’
But taking to Twitter while the episode was airing, fans were left extremely confused.
One fan said: ‘Did I miss an episode? Since when are Shaq and Tanya boyfriend and girlfriend?
‘Tanya said boyfriend and girlfriend?’ said another.
Apology: It comes after she convinced the airport security guard to apologize to Tom for his antics after Sports Day.
A third asked: ‘Did they cut the scene where Shaq and Tanya became boyfriends or something because I’m confused?’
Meanwhile, other fans shared their opinion that they didn’t buy the apology.
One fan wrote: “Basically, Tanya makes Shaq apologize and he goes over to Tom to say sorry and then turning to her gives me a mom with a toddler on a playground telling them to apologize.”
A second added: “Shaq’s fake apology, it’s jarring.”
It comes after viewers agreed with Tom after Sports Day and quickly took to Twitter to blast Shaq for acting like a ‘baby’ and that if it were the other way around, Shaq would be ‘furious’.
One wrote: “Yeah there are jokes after win etc but Will and Shaq took it too far Tom was minding his business and there they were huddled together and yelling at him of course Tom would be upset if anyone did.” .
Another said: ‘Shaq is childish. What a joke! Kudos to Tom for keeping his cool.
A third wrote: ‘No, I’m with Tom on this one. I’m all for joking with peers, but it’s when they go on and on that it’s no longer fun, it just gets annoying. Shaq and will are acting like children.’
A fourth added: ‘Nah Shaq needs to come down. I didn’t think Tom could have gotten redder.’
“If I were Tom I would have slapped Will and Shaq now that they are annoying fgs,” added another.
A sixth raged: “Shaq’s audacity telling Tom ‘stop acting like a baby’ hmmmmm ok dude.”
“Shaq insulted Tom saying he’s a grown man and he shouldn’t get so salty about a game but he’s the one acting like a kid celebrating and annoying someone,” another said.
However, others said Shaq was ‘unsettled’ and left ‘jealous’ following him and Tanya into the bottom 4 as the least compatible.
One viewer said: ‘I think Shaq may be a little nervous because he was in the bottom 3… he seems very sour. Who is the real loser Shaq? Tom or you? Hmm’.
A second thinks: ‘Shaq is bitter because he knows he was in the bottom 4 and Tom and Sammie were up! Shaq is jealous and narcissistic! Send them both’.
‘Tom, remind Shaq that you may not have won Sports Day, but you weren’t in the bottom 4 couples…’ added another.
A fourth said: ‘Shaq says Tom is a baby when he’s the one acting. If someone did that to Shaq, Shaq will be furious.
It comes after Olivia and Maxwell received word that they were thrown out of the villa on Wednesday night.
In a never-before-seen plot twist, the couple were informed that they would be the ones to choose who would follow them to the door.
The couple then had to choose between Claudia and Keanan, Rosie and Casey, and Tanya and Shaq, who also received the fewest votes from the public.
Ultimately, the couple decided to send Claudia and Keanan home.
