Shaq Muhammad and Tanya Manhenga, who finally kissed in tonight’s show, are at least one very happy Love Island pair.
It came, however, immediately after Tanya uncomfortably avoided the airport security guard’s initial attempts, making for some extremely uncomfortable viewing.
This series has just been in the South African villa for two days, yet it already feels like we’ve been on a long journey with Tanya and Shaq. Shaq looked smitten quite fast, wanting to kiss the biomedical student on the first night, and the two chose to team up together on the first day.
Tanya, on the other hand, said she wasn’t ready before disclosing her head was being turned little by new bombshell Tom Clare.
Shaq, on the other hand, was not letting up and was seen making another pass on Tanya in Wednesday’s show, spitting his slick banter and moving in for the kill as they lounged on the sofas.
‘I just want to keep you close,’ he told Tanya, who replied: ‘I’m your little baby. I want to keep you close.’
However, the sweet-talking didn’t work in his favour since Tanya pulled her head out of the path at the last second, leaving Shaq speechless.
‘You just pied me,’ he told her. ‘That’s taken a hit to my ego.’
Tanya reassured him: ‘What you need to remember is I really really really want to kiss you.’



‘I got pied,’ he added in the Beach Hut. I went in for the kill and she dumped me, but you know what, she’s clearly something special.’
Tanya admitted in her confessional, ‘He tried to give me a small kiss and the vibe was making sense, but I can’t give it to him too soon.’
Things quickly changed course as the two continued discussing the embarrassing time in bed, with Shaq revealing, ‘I’m privately upset inside still.’
Tanya immediately stepped in and put a kiss on Shaq’s lips, much to his delight.
The next morning, he was spotted giving the boys a morning summary of the night before and that he was looking forward to seeing how his romance with Tanya developed.
Love Island airs every night at 9pm on ITV2.
