The official Love Island account asked: "Does Shakira have a game plan? According to Giorgio, some people in the Villa think so."
The 30-year-old was asked who he thought Shakira and Ty were going to choose tonight to get dumped from the ITV2 show.
Speaking about Shakira, he revealed: 'It's funny because everyone's saying that she's playing a game, so maybe that could go to her head.
Amy asked: "Everyone here on the outside or people in the villa?"
Singleton Gio responded: 'A couple of people in the villa think that Shakira is playing a game.
'Ben, for a start…'
The star didn't go on to divulge who else held the same harsh feelings towards her.
Fans commented: "Well if Shakira is playing a game, her game is very interesting."
A second added: "It's definitely not just Ben. He said only Ben's name as a cop out. There's more people. I think Meg and Tommy think she's playing a game."
A third noted: "Shakira is incredibly bad at whatever game she's playing."
Love Island fans demand 'get her out' as Meg has 'final cruel swipe' at rival Andrada
"If Shakira was game playing, she would send Conor home but I think she will put herself first and get rid of Tommy," predicted a fourth.
"He might, unfortunately, be right about Shakira," another mused.
The day after Movie Night, Conor and Shakira headed to the firepit to discuss "uncharted territory".
While Shakira and Ty went on to get voted the most compatible couple, she snuck off to the Hideaway for some privacy behind her partner's back.
Shakira and Conor decide to revisit their unexplored connection and enjoy some alone time.
Afterwards, when the pair returned to the garden, Ty watched on as Conor high-fived some of the other boys.
Still single, Gio is among the older islanders on the show this series, bringing a more mature presence to the famous villa.
He is the older brother of footballer Alessia Russo, who plays as a forward for Arsenal and England.
She is the current holder of the FWA Women's Footballer of the Year award.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

Love Island slammed with over 400 Ofcom complaints in a week as fans hit out at Helena and Movie Night
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island has been hit with 432 Ofcom complaints after its most explosive week yet. There were three main issues irking viewers last week, sparking a barrage of complaints to the broadcasting watchdog. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Helen's historic xenophobic tweets have riled some fans Credit: Eroteme 3 Movie Night didn't sit well with some viewers Credit: Eroteme Some took issue with Helena Ford's presence on the show after historic tweets emerged in which she used offensive language. Among them were derogatory posts about foreigners, which The Sun is not repeating. A source close to Helena told us: "These tweets are not reflective of the language Helena would use as a 30 year old woman and she would acknowledge she has done a lot of growing up since what she very naively posted over eight years ago." Other viewers were unhappy with the way Shakira Khan was portrayed during Movie Night. In a clip played to the villa, Shakira could be seen repeatedly bashing villa rivals Meg Moore and Helena. It certainly portrayed her in a very negative light, but missing from the edit was the context behind her outbursts as well as things that had been said about her. One viewer wrote on X: "Love Island is going to make out the mean girls are Shakira and Toni when it's been Meg and Helena." They added: "It's giving rigged if they don't show what Meg, Helena and Harry have actually been like and what they've been saying!" Others felt Shakira had been given a "mean girl" edit and clips, such as when Meg and Helena claimed she was grafting everyone and probably even fancied the villa plants, missed the cut. In addition, there were also various accusations of bullying regarding different unnamed Islanders. Watch the moment 'mean girl' Meg shoots a look after Love Island rival gets backing from the public vote The tense dynamic in the house has certainly led to some difficult moments in recent days with numerous couple swaps and factions forming because of them. There are likely to be more complaints next week too after villa lothario Harrison's shocking antics ahead of the latest recoupling. Despite having sex with partner Lauren twice in recent days, he pulled ex Toni for a secret chat on the terrace last night ahead of the recoupling. He told her that he still had feelings for her and made a desperate plea for her to pick him. She duly did, leaving viewers and Islanders stunned, while shocked Lauren broke down in tears. 3 Some Love Island fans have accused the show of giving Shakira a 'mean girl' edit Credit: Eroteme Love Island's biggest Ofcom complaints Love Island has been hit with thousands of complaints over the years - here are the most moaned about moments Dani's tears: In 2018, Ofcom received 2,644 complaints when Dani Dyer was left in floods of tears over Jack Fincham during the Casa Amor. Viewers felt the show had been manipulated to make it appear Jack was going to cheat, when in fact he wasn't. And poor Dani didn't learn the truth for days. Maura fury: Although she later won over the public, Maura Higgins got off to a bad start in 2019. After arriving as a bombshell, she made a beeline for Tommy Fury - who was coupled up with Molly-Mae Hague - and tried to kiss him while straddling him on a daybed. 709 people accused her actions of being 'sexual harassment'. Faye explodes: The 2021 series of Love Island remains the most complained series about yet. 4,330 complaints were made to Ofcom after Faye Winter received a postcard from Casa Amor, which appeared to show her fella Teddy Soares kissing a bombshell. But a whopping 24,763 complaints flooded in when Faye came face-to-face with Teddy again. Faye's shocking outburst even sparked a reaction from male domestic abuse charity, ManKind Initiative, who branded her 'unacceptable'. Bish bash: The following year, the fallout from Movie Night sparked 3,617 Ofcom complaints. Fans of the show were horrified by Luca Bish's harsh reaction when Gemma Owen was shown speaking to bombshell Billy Brown. Muggy Mitch: Almost 1,000 Ofcom complaints flooded in from viewers unimpressed with Mitchel Taylor's treatment of Abi Moores. They felt he was 'targeting' her and even urged Love Island bosses to check on Abi's 'mental health and welfare'.
