The tension was already mounting in the previous episode as the Islanders embarked on their latest challenge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">The &#8216;Couple Goals&#8217; game continues, with the Islanders answering a series of questions and deciding which couple best fits each statement. However, when asked &#8216;Which couple are you most scared to give your honest opinion on?&#8217; shockwaves ripple through the Villa.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Shakira and Harry <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailystar.co.uk\/tv\/love-island-dejons-bold-move-35640989\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">single out Meg and Dejon<\/a>.

I don&#8217;t know why you keep acting like we&#8217;re the best of mates in here. From day one, you were very standoffish with any girl that was posed as a threat.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Meg counters: &#8220;I think you&#8217;ve called every single person in this Villa fake,&#8221; to which, Shakira responds: &#8220;No, I will never pretend to be your mate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Meg interjects: &#8220;You won&#8217;t be my friend on the outside,&#8221; as Shakira concedes: &#8220;I will never speak to you on the outside. I honestly can&#8217;t stand you sometimes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">However, the drama doesn&#8217;t end there. When Meg and Dejon offer their own response, both Meg and Blu find themselves in a heated exchange with Toni, leading to Blu labelling Toni a &#8216;pick-me girl&#8217;, reports <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ok.co.uk\/tv\/reality\/breaking-love-island-shakira-meg-35645140\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">OK!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1753892110_341_0_Love-Island-TV-Show-Series-12-Episode-44-Mallorca-Spain-29-Jul-2025.jpg\" alt=\"Toni and Cach\" loading=\"lazy\"  \/>Toni is once again drawn into a row with Blu(Image: ITV\/Shutterstock)<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">This isn&#8217;t the first instance of Shakira and Meg clashing, nor is it the first time Blu has singled out Toni for criticism.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">In other developments away from the latest challenge, there seems to be trouble on the horizon. Dejon discusses Megan, who recently made a surprise return to the villa, with Blu and Harry, saying: &#8220;You know how much I love Megan but I just feel like the first time Megan came in compared to this time is completely different.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Blu, who also returned despite being voted off, queries: &#8220;Is that because she&#8217;s been on the outside?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Dejon and Harry gain further insight from Blu and promptly share the information with Conor. It remains to be seen how Conor will react to his supposed friends discussing his relationship behind his back once again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \"><a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ok.co.uk\/newsletter-preference-centre\/?view=Solus&amp;mailingListId=fb769251-31d5-4b62-844a-5040dc2915aa&amp;utm_source=solusarticle\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Sign up to get the gossip from inside the villa through our free Love Island newsletter Factor 50.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Love Island&#8217;s Shakira is set to let rip at fellow contestant Meg in the villa as the pair&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":33811,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[96,574,391,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-33810","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-love-island","tag-tv","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33810","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33810"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33810\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33811"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33810"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33810"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33810"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
