Not only has she taken a liking to the bikinis and clothes Shakira wears, often borrowing and wearing them while chatting up the same men Shakira likes.
The pair have both been coupled with villa bad boy Harry, with he and Helena striking up an early connection before cooling things off almost as quickly as they began.
Footballer Harry then pursued Shakira, leaving Helena to pursue others boys.
She never truly got over their separation though, despite interest from bombshell Gio during the Sleepover.
Ever since returning to the main villa, she's been sharing flirty exchanges with Harry, battling Shakira for his affections and ultimately winning out even though they're not officially paired.
Now in Casa Amor, Shakira has been getting to know hunky Barnsley lad Ty, with the two Yorkshire-based singletons finding they have lots in common.
But tonight Helena swoops in and steals him for a chat while he's mid conversation with Shakira.
Fans now feel she's purposely trying to undermine Shakira's efforts in the villa.
One commented: "At this point it's blatantly obvious Helena only goes for for the men that are interested in Shakira."
Another said: "Whoever Shakira is interested in, Helena is right there… what is it with Helena Meg and Emily … jealousy????"
A third said: "Helena seem to be jealous of shakira already going for the guy shakira likes or wants."

A fourth joked: "Helena would pull a flower pot for a chat if Shakira had it first."
As a fifth complained: "I said it from the start, Helena's obsession is not with Harry or Harrison it's with Shakira. Even the wearing of Shakira's bikini not once. I actually think @loveisland need to do something now it's so uncomfortable to watch."
Shakira's frustration is now beginning to show.
Tonight, Ty confesses to her: 'I'll be real, I'm very interested in you.'
Shakira replies: 'I thought you were all about Helena last night, I've had enough of that triangle… I feel like we might have a case of musical beds tonight.'
Mid conversation, Helena boldly interrupts the pair and beckons Ty "for a chat".
Sarcastically, Shakira says: 'I thought she had an undeniable connection with Harry, I thought he was the love of her life.
Keen to stake her claim on Ty, Shakira then decides to interrupt him and Helena in The Snug and steal him right back.
But who will win out in the battle for his affections?

Celebs SAS stars 'to get full fee despite quitting Channel 4 show early'

Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins stars will reportedly still get their full fee even if they quit, and three of the contestants are said to have raked in thousands for just minutes on screen Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins stars will reportedly still get their full fee even if they quit the show early. The Channel 4 military-style reality series returned to screens last week with the likes of X Factor legend Lucy Spraggan, footballer Troy Deeney and former drugs mule Michaella McCollum amongst a host of others being put through their paces by the show's tough directors. ‌ However, viewers watched as pop star Hannah Spearritt quit the show just minutes into the first episode, and dancer Louie Spencer later realised he could not hack it either so decided to remove his armband and walk off. In episode two, Love Island stars Tasha Ghouri and Chloe Burrows quit on the spot as well. Insiders have claimed that some of the stars are being paid up to £20,000 as an appearance fee and insisted that they will still receive payment in full, no matter what stage of the competition they actually reach. ‌ A source told The Sun: "Hannah Spearitt, Chloe Burrows and Tasha Ghouri will all have been paid over £10k - some as much as £20k - but unlike other reality shows, they do get paid if they pull out. So even though Hannah only lasted one minute, she'll still get paid over £10k for that minute." It comes after reports of all the celebrities rumoured to be joining BBC Strictly Come Dancing 2025. ‌ The source added that even though it can be 'embarrassing' for celebrities to quit so early, it is "well worth stars signing up even if they don't think they can complete the show just for the payday - it might be embarrassing taking their armband off early in the show, but it's good money!' Hannah who shot to fame as part of S Club 7 before going on to an acting career with roles in shows such as Primeval and EastEnders, was seen struggling. She was sitting on the way to a mission when she told her fellow recruits that she was 'feeling faint'. And just moments later, it was confirmed that the Reach singer had become the first to leave the course as her co-stars speculated that she had suffered a panic attack. ‌ However, in a confessional aired seconds beforehand, Hannah, who last year refused to join her bandmates for their reunion tour, had seemed confident in herself as she said: "I am pretty determined. I wouldn't say I give up easily but whether I get to the end or not...I don't think I'll go on the first day because I just wouldn't forgive myself." She went onto tell instructors: "Sorry - I'm done. Sorry. I've reached a point." And she wasn't the only star to fall at the first hurdle, as Pineapple Dance Studios star Louie also dramatically left the show as the tough scenes unfolded. He initially told the cameras as part of his own confessional segment: "If there was a world war and they decided they were gonna call everyone up, would I be the first to jump up and say 'Yes me?' Being surrounded my thousands of soldiers, I might just jump at it. I'd be the home guard like on Dad's Army. We'll have a gay Dad's Army. Honestly, they wouldn't wanna mess with the gays!" But, despite his confidence, just moments later, Chris Fox described the group's effort as "abysmal" after the latest task. He reminded the recruits to think about why they were there and suggested they take things "seriously". ‌ Louie piped up: "I wanna do an immediate withdrawal. I just don't have the conviction and I feel as though I'm not dedicated enough," he said as he removed his armband. Chris gave him the chance to put his arm band back on, but Louie refused, so Chris said: "Get your kit." In a previously-filmed confessional, Louie, 56, had said: "I'm a survivor, I would keep battling to survive. I think the worst way for me to leave the course would be to choose to leave. That would really p*** me off," but just seconds later, it was confirmed that he had indeed quit the show." And following their exits, Chloe took to Instagram to rant about why she had quit as she said: ""I was f*****g exhausted and wanted my own bed and a cuddle from my mum. Forgive a girl for being so naive, but jumping at opportunities I'd never thought possible," whilst Tasha is yet to address her exit.
