The budding romance of Love Island couple Shaq Muhammad and Tanya Manhenga seemed to fall apart on Thursday after Tanya won the kissing challenge.
And in a spoiler for Friday’s show, Shaq finally confronts his girl about her behavior.
“I understand it’s a game, but I felt like you thought winning the challenge was more important than respecting me,” he tells her.
She was surprised at how involved she was in the kissing game, even though the pair exchanged the words “I love you” in a recent episode.
Tanya then asks Shaq why he was so upset about the kissing dare.
Love Island SPOILER: ‘You thought winning was more important than respecting me’: Furious Shaq confronts Tanya over her kissing challenge win on Friday night
‘I just want to understand where this is coming from, because I don’t understand, you’re all mine and I’m all yours. I only want you, I don’t care about anyone else,’ she says.
“I understand why you felt the way you did, but I didn’t mean to make you feel that way, I’m sorry I didn’t understand you before, I understand now,” he said.
‘We’re on the same page?’ then she asks him.
“We are, I’m just stubborn…so take a minute,” she replies.
Tanya previously admitted that her furious reaction to his behavior in the kissing challenge “grossed her up.”
In scenes that aired Thursday night, Shaq was furious when he learned that Tanya had won the village kissing challenge, after getting the highest scores out of the boys with her passionate kisses.
He quickly accused her of being ‘disrespectful’ with his fiery displays of affection, which did not go over well with Tanya and the other girls in the village.
In the episode, each of the girls was given the task of kissing the boys while blindfolded, each earning a score out of 10.

While Tanya got a perfect score from her man Shaq, her kissing skills were also praised by Ron Hall and Kai Fagan, who each gave her nine points.
It is then revealed that Tanya scored the highest in the challenge, leaving Shaq noticeably unimpressed.
He asked Ron: ‘Am I exaggerating?’
And when the girls and Tanya found out that Shaq was upset, she said, ‘If there’s one thing that grosses me out, it’s this. It’s not that deep. That’s so petty.’
‘I just want to understand where this is coming from, because I don’t understand, you’re all mine and I’m all yours. I only want you, I don’t care about anyone else,’ she says in a sneak peek.
She added on Beach Hut: “I think a guy would be impressed that his girl won the challenge, and everyone gets a taste of what he gets every day, every minute in bed, but instead, it’s the other way around.” ‘
Shaq then told Ron, “There’s a way to do it and be respectful, she’s not respectful.” I’m not talking to her.
He went on to tell Tom Clare: ‘I’m not going to talk to her!’ while the guys suggested that she should ‘take up some space’.
“If she comes to me and tries to tell me it’s a dare, I’ll just walk away from her,” he added, with the episode ending on a cliffhanger.
Love Island airs tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
