Quote: Spoilers for Monday night’s episode have revealed that Tanya might be leaning more towards Shaq as she paid the airport security guard a cheeky late-night visit.
But Tom Clare and his partner Samie Samie Elishi saw her and wondered: ‘Where is she going?’
With Shaq sleeping alone downstairs, Tanya paid him an unexpected visit and tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention, apparently wanting to chat.
Though it remains to be seen what’s behind the cheeky date night, the next morning, Martin made Tanya breakfast with a sweet gesture.
He was anxious to find out where her head was, to which Tanya replied that it “felt good”, despite her antics with Shaq the night before.
Martín asked him: ‘How are you feeling today? I know that yesterday was not the best day for you, how do you feel? I want genuine answers about how you feel.
And Tanya insisted: ‘Today I feel good’.
Martin then said: ‘You feel good, that’s good, it’s a new day, a new beginning.
Tanya then hinted that she was still torn between Shaq and Martin, as she mysteriously hinted that she has “a lot to think about.”
Cheeky: Despite sharing a bed with Martin, Tanya got up during the night and went downstairs to chat with her old flame.
What will she do? The next morning, Martin was anxious to find out where her head was, to which Tanya replied that she “felt fine”, despite her antics with Shaq the night before.
She said: I think I have a lot to think about.
It comes after a first-look clip from Monday’s episode shown on Aftersun hinted that Tanya might be ready to ditch the Casa Amor Martin bomb.
In the clip, Tanya sat by the campfire with Martin and admitted that there had been “a drastic change” between the couple since the early days of their romance.
She said: ‘It is clear that from Home, to being here, there is a drastic change. It is clear, why is there not that physical click or that closeness?
‘We can have all these good things on paper, but why isn’t there that thing that makes us, glue?’
In Aftersun, presenter Maya Jama asked ITV viewers: ‘What do you guys think? Will Tanya get back together with Shaq? Yes. It’s pretty obvious, isn’t it?
Tanya’s family was in the audience for the spinoff show and admitted that Shaq is “definitely” her type.
The model’s mother, Polite, said: “Tanya’s guy is half handsome, half handsome.”
While her aunt chimed in: ‘She doesn’t like pretty boys!’
“Martin is really handsome,” added Tanya’s mother.
To which Maya asked, ‘What about Shaq? Is she his type?
The end? It comes after a first-look clip in Monday’s episode shown on Aftersun hinted that Tanya might be ready to ditch Casa Amor bombshell Martin.
Cortés replied: ‘Yes! Definitely.’ Maya, surprised, added: “I’ll leave that one there…”.
Shaq was devastated when Tanya returned to the villa with Martin in dramatic reconciliation scenes last week.
Admitting that he was “speechless”, Shaq insisted that this was “definitely the end” for the couple.
When asked how it felt to see Shaq standing there alone upon her return, Tanya said: “I feel like Shaq and I have something amazing going on, so I’m not surprised.”
Turning the question over to Shaq, he said: ‘I just don’t have words to be honest. I’ve been honest since day one and I actually meant it when I said I love you.
But I guess not everyone means it when they say something like that. It is what it is. A game is a game.
Trying to justify her decision to the group, Tanya said: ‘From the beginning I was paired with Shaq and he was amazing.
But I feel like it would be foolish of me not to spend more time with Martin. But it is definitely not the end.
Shaq, clearly heartbroken, jumped in: ‘Well, it’s the end for me. So good luck to you, but that situation is done and dusted.’

Determined not to let her former partner end things there, Tanya said: “Personally, we haven’t had any speed bumps here like other couples have.” I hear you, but what is meant to be will be.
Lying in guilt, Shaq added, “I’ve been sleeping on the day beds out of respect for you.” It didn’t feel right to share our bed with another girl.
But that’s what you get for being a nice guy, I guess. They always finish last.
