She announced the show's first ever American bombshell and immediately gave her the power to steal a boy.
Las Vegas VIP waitress Toni swiped Ben - leaving Burnley lass Shakira single.
Shakira then had 24 hours to make a new connection or be dumped from the island.
If Shakira could convince a boy to split from his partner she'd be saved.
When Maya Jama returned to the villa, three lads said they were willing to leave their couple and stood up for Shakira.
Harry, Conor and Blu all threw their hat in the ring.
But Conor, Helena's partner, and Blu, who is in a couple up with Alima, had to awkwardly sit back down.
Taking to X, one viewer said: "It must be so awkward to have stood up and not get chosen… the second hand embarrassment is crazy."
A second echoed: "Imagine having to sit back down next to the girl u just publicly said you'd dump after not getting chosen pmsl."
And a third said: "No because the thought of the boys that don't get picked having to sit back down acting like nothing has happened."
The ITV2 show beauties were left worried last night when Shakira confessed she was interested in "everyone".
Shakira, 22, ruffled feathers with her antics.
She pulled Dejon - who is coupled up with Meg - for a chat first.
Shakira then wasted no time and asked Harry for a chat on the terrace and things quickly turned flirty.
Shakira teases: 'Haza you little minx!'
Harry then replies: 'It's day two come on let's keep it PG.'
Putting the effort in to find a new connection, Shakira then pulled Conor for a chat and he told her: 'You surprised me, you came in with massive energy, but I feel like you're not like that, you're chill and smart.'
Shakira admitted: 'I love the Irish accent, it's sexy! I've never dated an Irish guy.'
She also caught up with Blu telling him: 'I think it's good cause it gives everyone a kick up the bum…I think you've got a good vibe…you're very calming and I don't have to put on a bravado.'
Their flirty banter came after fans had called for the lad to be kicked out - and his partner saved.
Shakira's effort didn't stop there as she also pulled Tommy by the pool telling him: 'I think it's best I try to get to know everyone.'

A group of women in their 70s and 80s are celebrating the 50th anniversary of their book club and first seven members of the group met in 1975 and have since read more than 350 books, welcomed 30 members, met 500 times and consumed more than 1,000 bottles of of the original members of the group, Elspeth Davis, started the group as she was a new mother at the time and said she needed something else to "exercise" her mind."I've really enjoyed the variety of books we've read and the friendship and the camaraderie," said fellow member Jill Stanley. Ms Davis brought back the idea of a book club from Canada, where she had been living for six years. The group is named Lit - short for Literary Circle - and was first hosted at her home in the North Somerset village of Easton-in-Gordano."The variety of books is absolutely amazing and there are lots of books that I never would have thought to pick up," Mary Donaldson, who joined the group in 1978, although the readers have covered a lot of ground with their choices - from thrillers to poetry - the one genre they have failed to agree to try is science fiction. Members have formed a close-knit group, bonding over other shared interests, such as walking and Tuckwell was initially daunted by the number of books the group had read when she joined in the mid-1980s. But she said she came to realise that "sharing reactions to a book, whether you like it or not, is a route into friendship".

Genevieve Chenneour, 27, who plays Clara Livingston in the Netflix period drama, was waiting for a coffee at a Kensington branch of Joe and the Juice when 18-year-old Zacariah Boulares, of Fawns Manor Close, Feltham, snuck up behind her and grabbed her phone on 8 February. Speaking about the incident on This Morning on Thursday (12 June), Chenneour said that she has 'done a lot of fight training for work' and also revealed that she is an avid boxer. 'I think it was just an instinct', she said, describing the moment she retrieved the phone back from Boulares. She also teased: 'I think I have very quick reactions, thanks to having three brothers growing up.'
