Love Island’s Tanya Manhenga left fans floored after she decided to dump day one beau Shaq Muhammad in the latest explosive recoupling.
Instead, the Liverpool native coupled up with Casa Amor bombshell Martin Akinola in the episode aired on Thursday (February 16).
Tanya and Martin hit it off earlier this week when the girls were sent to the infamous Casa Amor villa.

The two shared a kiss during a raunchy game – which Tana called a “good one.”
Then, at the end of Wednesday’s episode, the student could be seen cosying up to her new man in bed where they shared their first “official” kiss.
But it’s bad news for Shaq though, who decided not to recouple and as a result, is now single in the villa.

Tanya and Shaq were partnered up since the hit ITV2 dating show began a month ago.
Before the girls left for Casa Amor, Shaq and Tanya were in the midst of a rocky patch after several disagreements in the villa.
But during Wednesday’s episode, Shaq, 24, admitted he would be heartbroken if Tanya returned to the main villa with another man.
And Tanya’s shock decision left plenty of fans fuming at home.

Prior to seeing his girl walk in with her new man, Shaq told host Maya Jama: “I feel like a piece of me has been missing.
“It really shown me that absence makes the heart grow fonder.”
He then added: “I hope sleeping on the daybed was worth it.”
However, in a devastating and awkward blow, Tanya headed back in the villa with Martin.
“I feel like me and Shaq have something amazing so I’m not surprised,” Tanya said, seeing Shaq alone.
He replied: “I’m a bit lost for words. I actually meant it when I said I love you. Not everyone means it.”
