Love Island's Shakira in tears after heated row as new bombshell shakes up villa
Love Island is set for another night of drama in Friday's instalment of the show when a new bombshell enters the villa - and Shakira breaks down in tears after a bust up with new man Conor.
The 22-year-old Manchester model paired up with Irish rugby player Conor, 25, in a shock recoupling a few days ago, picking him over Barnsley site manager Ty, 23. But at the end of Thursday's episode, Shakira was fuming when Harrison claimed she had deeper feelings for Harry - who she was previously coupled up with - during the Couple of Sorts game.
Ending on a cliffhanger, tonight viewers will see Conor confront Shakira about it when he pulls her for a chat in the Den. But Shakira isn't happy Conor is listening to the boys instead of her.
In a heated argument, she tells him: "It's been twisted and you've wanted to believe the boys straight away. It's ego and pride. Wake up Conor. They're literally the biggest game players here. When have I ever lied to you?"
Upset that Conor doesn't believe her, Shakira breaks down in tears and goes to Toni and Yasmin for support. She sobs: "I don't want to be surrounded by them all the time. For Conor to straight off the cuff believe them… We've been friends for weeks…"

And things could be about to get worse when new bombshell, Angel - who viewers got a tiny glimpse of in a teaser clip last night - enters the villa.
The 26-year-old aesthetics practitioner and salon owner, who hails from Maidenhead, says she isn't looking to play games, as she's headed to Majorca to find 'The One.'
In a preview clip, she says: "I'm ready to get into a relationship as I've been single for a year, so ready to make memories with someone, go travelling with them and fall in love." And she's already got her eye on Ty and Harry - who have both been previously linked with Shakira.
Making a grand entrance in a blue star bikini and tassled leather chaps which show off her bum cheeks, Angel gets the boys hot under their collars as she introduces herself and gives the last answer to the 'Couple of Sorts' game - which saw the other Islanders choose which boys they think rank in her top three.
As Ty, Cach and Boris take to the podiums to await the result, Angel will reveal if their predictions were right and share who her top choice is, potentially causing ructions in the villa. There's sure to be an other recoupling soon - and fans are convinced Angel's arrival means one of the Islanders will be sent packing.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter at the end of the episode, one fan penned: "Is it gonna be whoever Angel chooses goes home," while another thought her arrival would mean an exit for one of the girls.
"I will hate to see Shakira and Toni leave if she steals either Harrison or Connor though yikes!!!!!" said a second. "Can see a girl getting dumped. Producers literally making us rage!!" agreed a third.
Though Harry wasn't one of the boys on the podium, she is later seen having a cosy chat with the 30-year-old semi-professional footballer and model, who is this year's oldest Love Island contestant. But when she tells him she likes being a little spoon but gets feelings for people she sleeps with, Harry says: "We might have to hold off on that spoon in the morning then."

Sing Street
This sparky indie musical about a lonely Irish schoolboy who forms a band as a means to escape a drab '80s Dublin adolescence is a charming affair. And it reunites the chief architects of Once, one of the more offbeat transatlantic musical smashes of recent times, as playwright Enda Walsh again adapts a movie by Irish filmmaker John Carney. My gut instinct is that Rebecca Taichman's production is a bit too all over the shop to really take off in the same way as Once did, but it's an enjoyably lo-fi clutter, a show that seesaws between kitchen sink bleakness and joyfully preposterous singing sequences with total earnestness. It's 1985 and Conor's family are down on their luck: their comfortable middle class lives have been squeezed and constricted by the depression gripping Ireland, which has left his architect dad with no work. Conor's fee paying private school has to go; he's instead sent to strict, priest-run local school Synge Street. He's not exactly delighted by this. But after spying an enigmatic girl – Grace Collender's Raphina – in a phone booth outside the school, Conor blurts out that he's in a band in an effort to impress her. Cue a frantic scrabble to form one. And whaddayaknow: advised by his agoraphobic music geek older brother Brendan (Adam Hunter), Conor soon discovers he's a pretty damn good songwriter. Taken too literally and Sing Street defies sense. The titular band seem to be effortlessly polished straight away and yet they never appear to gig or earn any money, they just make little low budget music videos on a camcorder and then move on to the next song. Which is fine because it's a musical and because the songs perhaps represent the escape music offers over and above the idea that the band is literally supposed to be reeling out endless chart ready tracks straight away. And if the band was shaping up to be the next U2 it would change their lives too much: part of the point of being a hormonal schoolboy is that it's often mortifyingly cringe, and crucially the cringe factor never leaves Taichman's production. There is obviously something gloriously excruciating about Conor writing endless songs about the aloof Raphina, even when she inevitably comes around to it. It's all very breathless and winsome: Sheridan Townsley's Conor is the right mix of cocky and vulnerable – just like a proper rock star! – and Hunter offers a poignant turn as Brendan, his younger brother's damaged shadow. Jesse Nyakudya's highly strung Eamon aside, the show is happy to blitz through the characters of Conor's bandmates without too much care: they seem nice but Sing Street is well advised to not get too bogged down in them. It's a breezy paen to the extreme ups and downs of adolescence. It also doesn't try to compete with the spectacle of the big boy musicals: Sonya Tayeh's choreography is largely limited to the band's endearingly rudimentary moves; the songs are largely diegetic band numbers and on the odd occasion a character does just randomly burst into song there's no cavalcade of backing dancers. It could be better. The music is weirdly inconsistent. The band essentially do one very fun New Romantic pastiche ('The Riddle of the Model') before Gary Clark's songs – co-written with Carney – simply give up on the '80s and opt for a sound closer to post-reunion Take That. It feels like a missed opportunity to give the show a clearer sense of time and place – plus, frankly, more interesting songs. Clark is a bona fide '80s music scene survivor, but he's largely worked as a contemporary pop writer for hire in recent years, and clearly it's not as simple as just restoring himself to his '85 factory settings. Perhaps to balance this out there are a handful of classic '80s indie tunes simply played over the PA, which is nice in its way but they're inconsistently spaced and it feels odd for a musical to be leaning into pre-recorded music so much, especially when tracks like 'Please Please Let me Get What I Want' and 'Inbetween Days' are inevitably vastly better than the original numbers. If Sing Street is to have a further life I think this stuff needs to be reconsidered, as does the bombastic but very long climax, which jettisons the nimbleness of the show's earlier sections in favour of, to be honest, milking it. A very likeable little musical, even if it currently has more of the air of a fondly regarded provincial indie band than a globe conquering rock legend.
