Love Island: Tanya makes amends with Shaq after Martin called her an ‘insincere liar’

Love Island’s Tanya Manhenga declares her love for Shaq Muhammad once again on Tuesday night, leaving Martin Akinola fuming.

Tanya, 23, had been paired up with Shaq, but had to choose to return from Casa Amor with Martin, 27, leaving Shaq, 24, heartbroken.

But realizing that her heart went out to Shaq, Tanya says, “I’m so sorry it took someone else to come along to realize I can’t lose you.”

Martin calls Tanya ‘disingenuous’ and a ‘liar’ and accused her of making him look like a ‘dumb jerk’.

Meanwhile, Martin catches up with Olivia and Maxwell to talk about how he feels in light of Tanya’s admission, Martin says, “I look like a jerk in front of everyone.”

When Martin turns to Tanya and Shaq, he says, ‘Tanya, can we have a chat? Shaq, you know I don’t have a problem with you, it’s all good.

Tanya and Martin are heading to the fire pit when he says, ‘When I was talking to you, you never told me you were a liar. You are not sincere, you made me look like a fool, you are a liar.

Tanya asks: ‘Is that what you had to get off your chest?’

Later in the episode, the competition is about to start between the couples in the village when they receive a text message inviting them to play a game, Knowing Me, Knowing You.

Olivia reads the text that reads: ‘Icelanders, it’s time to find out how well you know your other half in today’s couples challenge, Knowing Me, Knowing You! #KnowItOrBlowIt #ProofIsInThePudding.’

As the only islander not in a pair, Shaq plays the role of host, while the other islanders quickly catch up with their partners to review the relationship before the challenge.

The couples recap on their partner’s birthdays, zodiac signs, number of sexual partners and more, but who will emerge victorious and how will Martin and Tanya fare as they have to work through the challenge together?

Shaq’s questions include whether they know their partner’s middle name and their biggest turn-ons.

The girls are also asked to name their partner’s favorite sexual position.

Joking about Martin and Tanya trying to match the answers, Shaq says with a laugh, ‘If you know this…’

Shaq also asks the girls, ‘Which islander does your partner think is the least genuine in the Village?’

In a sneak peek for Tuesday night’s episode, Shaq had to hold back Tanya after Martin accused her of lying to him.

Tanya said, ‘One you’re not going to do is call me a liar, no no no’ as Shaq tried to steer her away from the discussion.

During Monday’s episode, Tanya declared her love for her former partner Shaq after the islanders enjoyed a party with Jax Jones.

He began his speech by saying: ‘I just want to say in front of everyone that this message is for Shaq. I know when I went Home I went back to Martin and I thought he was looking for a connection, but it didn’t work.

“I’m saying this in front of everyone because I got back with Martin in front of everyone and I can’t imagine the shame and pain you felt and how disappointed you were in me.”

“I’m so sorry that I embarrassed and hurt you and not talking to you all these days has been so hard.”

Tanya held back tears as she continued, “And being in bed and you’re not there has been very difficult for me and even though it wasn’t the best situation to bring Martin back, it made me realize that I don’t want to.” someone else.

‘No matter who walks through this door, no matter what happens or what challenge is there, I don’t care about winning and I don’t care if no one talks to me, I just want you.

‘I spoke to Martin today and we ended things on mutual ground and I couldn’t even sleep yesterday. I snuck downstairs and kissed him, he just needed a hug.

She ended by saying, “I just want you to know how sorry I am and I will never do something like this again to make you feel like this and I want you to know from the bottom of my heart that I love you so much.” a lot.’

Fans seemed to side with Martin when they shared their views on Twitter, with one writing: “Martin is going to attack Tanya FAIRLY.”

Another said: ‘To Love Island first: a villainess’

A third wrote: “Tanya apologizing to Shaq for embarrassing him by embarrassing Martin is so crazy what’s wrong with this girl?”

Tanya brought senior software engineer Martin back to the main villa after the infamous Casa Amor, much to Shaq’s disappointment, who remained single.

Despite sharing a bed with Martin, Tanya got up during the night and went downstairs to chat with her former flame.

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.”

She said: I think I have a lot to think about.

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.

Love Island airs tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
