Love Island's iconic challenge returns as fans have same concern
Love Island fans questioned 'weird' behaviour from Islander Emma after she kissed her ex Harry in a new kissing challenge, with fans claiming she is 'obsessed' and 'possessed' The latest instalment of Love Island brought back the kissing challenge, where the boys were blindfolded and rated how good the girls were at kissing. The challenge led to some drama as Harry rated Emma, his ex girlfriend of four years, higher than he rated Helena who he is currently in a couple with. After Emma kissed her ex, she commented that she made her kiss with Harry the longest and said he would have enjoyed kissing her. Fans took to X, formally known as Twitter, where they questioned her behaviour and labelled her 'Delulu' and claimed she was 'obsessed' with her ex. One person wrote: "Emma darling your starting to look really weird ….", while another added: "guys i'm so scared of emma i think she's possessed". A third wrote: "EMMA IS OBSESSED WITH HARRY GET HER INTO AN ASYLUM", while another penned: "Delulu ain't even the word for Emma". It comes after Shakira and Conor's relationship appeared to be on the rocks after an explosive argument, which left Shakira crying into Toni's shoulder. During the islanders' latest villa game, Couples of Sorts, Harrison was selected as part of a "one-sided" couple. He was not happy about the vote and said: "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." Shakira claimed that Harrison and Harry were trying to 'create a narrative' that she still likes Harry. In a heated argument, Shakira told Conor: "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. Speaking through her tears, she told the girls: "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…" She added: '"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." While Shakira and Conor appeared to patch things up in Friday evening's episode, and were seen cuddling on the day beds, only time will tell if their relationship is strong enough to last.

Love Island fans vow to call Ofcom as they fume over 'nasty' treatment of Shakira
Love Island viewers have threatened to report the show to Ofcom over scenes where Islander Shakira Khan was left sobbing over her treatment by the boys including Conor Phillips 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."
