Shakira Kha has opened up about her father's advice ahead of her stint in the villa.
The Love Island "superfan" dad has cautioned his 22-year-old daughter against getting intimate in the villa despite her excitement to join the show.
Shakira, who is set to be one of the glamorous singles looking for romance in the renowned villa, has an Instagram filled with snapshots from opulent holidays in Turkey, Dubai, and Mexico.
Yet, her father's words might just rein in any plans for too much friskiness under the Majorcan sun.
Discussing her participation in the reality series, Shakir, who works in Marketing, expressed: "I've had to keep it quiet so I think a lot of my friends will be shocked but super, super excited.", reports OK!.

She added that her family is thrilled about her appearance on the show, especially her dad, who is an avid viewer.
The Burnley beauty said: "My family are over the moon and my dad is a Love Island superfan. He's watched every season and he's said 'don't have sex on TV' so definitely not.
"Sex after eight weeks is a no go. I'm quite particular and I like to be wined and dined first."

In a turn of events, ITV bosses have announced that they will be revealing all the X-rated antics from the Hideaway, a U-turn from the decision in 2020 to censor such scenes.
While Shakira may steer clear of intimate moments on camera, she's not shy about displaying her bold personality.
When questioned about her temperament, Shakira didn't hesitate to affirm: "Absolutely, I could argue with a brick wall.
"If arguing was an Olympic sport I'd have a gold medal. Even if I'm wrong I'll argue in the face until I have no breath left. I'm not the one to start an argument but I'll finish it."

Shakira also shared that she is a "girls girl" and doesn't shy away from confrontation.
She explained: "I won't go hunting for the drama but if someone wants to pick a fight with me then they are going to get a response.
"I'm definitely a girls girl so if you're one of my close girls everything is off limits so it's like I won't speak to your fella and I've got your back through everything.

"Everyone is there for the same reason so you've got to be a bit selfish and I'm definitely not afraid to step on a few toes."
Love Island returns to ITV2 and ITVX on Monday, June 9 at 9pm

Shakira CONFIRMS she is bringing record-breaking tour to the UK as she confesses Beyoncé inspired series of stadium shows
Shakira has confirmed she is bringing her record-breaking tour to the UK after months of rumours. The Hips Don't Lie hitmaker is currently in North America as part of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran world tour and the star is reaching dizzy heights in her career. Outselling both Beyonce and Lady Gaga, it is the biggest female tour of 2025 so far taking into account both box office takings and ticket sales. And Shakira has now revealed it was Queen B herself who inspired her series of stadium shows. Speaking to The Sun she confirmed UK dates would be happening before explaining to the crowd in Miami: 'To see this place this packed, it's a dream for me. It's surreal. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'The last time I came to Hard Rock Stadium, I saw Beyonce 's show and I said to myself, "How amazing would it be if I could play the stadium one day?" 'How amazing that tonight, I'm here playing two stadiums. I have the best crowd in the world. You make all of my dreams come true.' Originally set to perform an arena tour, her venues were upgraded to meet the sensational demand. And Shakira hasn't held back in creating the biggest show possible, from 14 outfits, to huge visuals and special guests. The show begins with a film showing an AI version of the singer with a missing arm, emerging from a pile of sand and putting itself back together - a reference to a turbulent few years in her personal life. In November 2023 the star finally settled her court case over an unpaid tax bill and in the same year she went through a highly publicised split from former footballer Gerard Pique after 11 years together following allegations he had cheated. Opening with the song La Fuerte, she told the crowd: 'Many of you know that the past years haven't been the easiest for me, right? 'But who doesn't have a fall here and there, right? What I've learned is that a fall isn't the end, but the beginning of an even better journey.' Yet Shakira, 48, has no problem keeping her energy up during the two hour set list and revealed she trained to be ready for this set of shows and is constantly working out. The star also tours with two physiotherapists and the backstage catering is full of healthy options including grilled red snapper, Peruvian chicken and cauliflower steak. It comes after Shakira was recently forced to cancel three shows amid the American leg of her tour. She could no longer perform in Washington DC at Nationals Park as part WorldPride's welcome event after city inspectors identifying 'structural elements that were not up to standard,' according to TMZ. Nationals Park posted a statement online reading, 'Due to complications with the previous show in Boston, Shakira's full tour production cannot be transported to Washington, D.C. in time for her scheduled performance at Nationals Park on Saturday, May 31.' WorldPride is the largest LGBTQ+ festival in the world and will kick off June's internationally recognized Pride Month. Per TMZ, Shakira responded by saying, 'I have been counting the days, excited to be reunited with my fans in both Washington and Boston, and my team and I have made every effort to make it happen, but it doesn't depend on any one of us right now, and I am devastated that these shows were just not possible this time. 'I promise that I will do everything in my power to be with you as soon as I can.' The ballpark's message to ticketholders continued, 'Refunds will be issued automatically for Ticketmaster and purchases — no further action is required.' It comes after the Whenever, Wherever hitmaker had to cancel two back-to-back shows scheduled last month at Boston's Fenway Park.
