"It's ego and pride. Wake up Conor."
On Love Island, Shakira was left in tears after a heated row with Conor, just as a new bombshell prepared to shake things up in the villa.
The drama unfolded after Shakira clashed with new partner Conor over comments made during the Couple of Sorts game.
Just days earlier, Shakira had chosen Conor in a surprise recoupling, ditching Barnsley site manager Ty. But Conor’s confidence in their new connection quickly wavered.
Harrison’s claim that Shakira still had deeper feelings for Harry, her previous partner, sparked the fallout.
On the July 18 episode, viewers saw Conor pull Shakira for a private chat in the Den to confront her about it. But things did not go as he may have expected.
In a heated exchange, Shakira hit back: “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 f*****g game players about. When have I ever lied to you?”
Visibly upset by Conor’s lack of trust, Shakira broke down in tears and sought comfort from friends Toni and Yasmin.
She sobbed: “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…”
Watch the Clash. Warning – Strong Language
The emotional moment came just as tensions in the villa were set to escalate even further with the arrival of a new bombshell, 26-year-old Angel, an aesthetics practitioner and salon owner from Maidenhead.
Viewers were given a teaser glimpse of Angel during Thursday night’s closing moments, but in Friday’s episode, she made her entrance in full force.
Wearing a blue star bikini and leather tasselled chaps that gave a cheeky glimpse of her derriere, she made a bold first impression.
Angel didn’t waste time making her intentions clear.
In a preview clip, she said: “I’m ready to get into a relationship as I’ve been single for a year, so ready to make memories with someone, go travelling with them and fall in love.”
And Angel already has her eye on Ty and Harry, two of Shakira’s former flames.
During her debut, she delivered the final answer in the Couple of Sorts game, where Islanders guessed which boys she found most attractive.
Ty, Cach and Boris stood at the podiums awaiting her verdict.
With another recoupling looming, fans speculated her arrival could mean someone will be dumped from the island.
Angel claimed she wasn’t “here to play games”, but with her sights set on the villa’s most sought-after boys, that promise may soon be put to the test.
