Love Island fans vow to call Ofcom as they fume over 'nasty' treatment of Shakira
Love Island viewers have threatened to "call Ofcom" as they criticised the "nasty" treatment of one girl in the villa. Fans of the reality dating show saw things take a savage turn among the residents after the latest recoupling.
Shakira Khan and Conor Phillips officially became a thing after they ditched their Casa Amor partners to couple up.
However, as the latest challenge - Couples of Sorts - saw the Islanders learn what viewers really think of them all hell broke loose. As Harrison Solomon was selected as part of a "one-sided" couple, he admitted: "I think Conor and Shakira should be up here.
"We had a conversation - me, you and H - basically what was said was, you like him more than Ty. But I don't think you like Con as much as you like Harry."
Moving on to another category Shakira then admitted to Conor: "I'd laugh if this was us now." However, when she got a frosty reception from him for her joke, she then swiped: "Oh, he's not laughing, okay."
After the game Conor went for a chat with Harrison, Harry and Dejon, as they mulled over the events of the challenge. Following that discussion he pulled Shakira for a chat, where she slammed what the other boys had been saying to him as "b******s".
She added: "It's been twisted. I told you that and you just wanted to believe the boys straight away." Shakira was then seen breaking down in tears and sobbing as she discussed the argument with Toni, saying: "Why are they trying to create this narrative like I'm obsessed with [Harry]? I don't get it.
"They're all just so fake! I'm surrounded by fake f*****g people who smile in your face and chat s**t about you behind your back."
Spurred on by seeing her bestie upset by the boys the next day Toni called out Harry, Harrison and Dejon for their behaviour as she ripped into them for reducing Shakira to tears.
Viewers were left disgusted by the scenes and took to X to slam the behaviour. One wrote: "Everybody should write to ofcom because the way Shakira Khan has been treated is nasty #LoveIsland."
A second added: "The boys reaction to Shakira being upset is telling everything about them." A third said: "Seeing shakira that upset is so heartbreaking #LoveIsland I can't watch these villainous men anymore."
While a fourth social media user shared: "I'm not joking after this episode, I will write a letter to ofcom about how the islanders are mistreating Shakira." A fifth agreed: "Ofcom will be hearing from me, these people are bullying shakira."

Maya Jama's staggering seven figure net worth 'revealed' as she rakes in the fortune thanks to 'booming beauty mask firm'
Maya Jama 's net worth has reportedly surged to 'more than £2million' thanks to the fruitful profits of her beauty mask brand MIJ Mask. The Love Island host, 30, could have enjoyed a significant career boost after the beauty label saw profits of last year going up 'nearly 25 per cent'. Companies House documents show that MIJ Masks now has net assets of £313,381, up by £75,000 from 2023, according to The Sun. With sales rising, the eye-watering fortune adds up to her assets of £1.83million from her TV work and advertising work through MIJ & Co Entertainment. Maya launched the bio-cellulose face mask and eye patches brand in 2021, delivering high-performance, skin-loving treatments that combine luxury ingredients with bold self-care for a radiant, confident glow. The brand's masks range from £9.99 to £17.99, while the eye patches cost £7.99. MailOnline has contacted Maya's representatives for comment. Maya's career reached new heights when the star landed the full time role as Love Island's number one presenter when Laura Whitmore stood down. Since then she has hosted Love Island Games, Love Island All Stars and series 11 which went out in June and July. Maya is thought to earn £750,000 per series of Love Island while she also reportedly banked upward of £50,000 for co-hosting this year's BRIT Awards. However it is her brand deals where Maya will be earning much of her money after she replaced Kate Moss as the face of Rimmel London last year. According to The Sun, Maya is said to have earned a six-figure sum as the face of hair extension brand Beauty Works while she has also took part in campaigns for the likes of Maybelline, Adidas and Gordon's Gin and Self Portrait. Earlier in November of last year, Maya announced a new business venture as she has become an investor and co-owner in the Swedish plant milk company Sproud. Maya will be the face of Sproud and a strategic advisor to the brand, which creates milk from yellow split-peas. The brand said the drink also has a 'far lower environmental impact' than other plant milks in terms of how it is produced, and is recognised by CarbonCloud as the milk alternative with the lowest climate impact. Speaking of her new role, Maya said: 'I'm really excited to become a co-owner of Sproud. 'There's a lot to love – the products taste amazing, and the packaging is eye-catching, too, but ultimately I like what the company stands for in terms of health and sustainability.' 'The Swedish connection also really appealed to me. My mum is half-Swedish and I have very happy childhood memories of summers in Sweden with my grandparents.'

Harriett was given a prompt card which read: "If your ex slid into your DMs right now, what would you do? She grinned and quipped: "I mean, he has been." This comes after Harriett and the girls filmed a TikTok video and captioned the clip: "Us when we land in Ibiza single." This quickly lead fans to comment asking if Harriett and Ronnie had split for another time, just weeks after rekindling their romance. One wrote: "Harriet and Ronnie broke up?" A second asked: "Harriet is single?," to which this person replied: "Yeah her and Ronnie broke up." In June, The Sun revealed that the exes were back together - just a week after having a bitter public split. The pair had gone their separate ways after deleting each other off their social media. But they were hoping it would be third time lucky and decided to give their romance another go. A source told The Sun at the time: "Harriett and Ronnie are speaking again and getting back together. "They're so on and off - it's like they row when they're together but can't live without each other.' They were then pictured having a cosy heart-to-heart during a showbiz bash a few weeks later. An insider said: 'Harriett and Ronnie looked very close again as they had a heart to heart at the Boohoo party last night. 'They have worked things out and are focusing on making their relationship a success. 'But they aren't going to make a big announcement because that puts pressure on things and they don't need that.' Harriett and Ronnie first got together after meeting on Love Island last summer. But they split just months later before reuniting during the All Stars spin-off earlier this year. After jetting to Ibiza at the beginning of June, they unfollowed each other on Instagram and Ronnie also wiped his page of photos of Harriett. A rep for the couple later confirmed they'd split. The break up came shortly after Harriett revealed they were planning to move in together. She told the Mirror: "In June. Everything's happening at once. "We're moving up towards London, which is exciting. "It's really close to Matilda (Draper), so we'll be spending a lot of time with her and going back and forth." 4 Ronnie opened up about his true feelings after the pair were reunited at last years' final Credit: Instagram/@ronnievint
