Shakira hits back immediately and tells him to “pipe down".
Tensions erupt in the Love Island villa as savage comments made by Shakira and Toni about Ben come to light, triggering an explosive row.
Chatting to Toni about Ben, Shakira says:
“His presence pi**es me off.”
Toni warns her: “The ick! He likes to throw this word around, maybe you should. Don’t make any rash decisions.”
The drama soon unfolds during a fiery game of Look Who’s Talking, where Islanders must guess who said which remark.
Shakira’s comment about Ben, “I don’t know if the conversation is stimulating for my brain, I’m quite a smart girl”, is confirmed and causes a stir.
When confronted, Shakira wants to discuss it with Ben, who replies, “Well, it’s an open discussion”, but disagrees with her explanation.
Ben’s comment about Shakira also comes up during the game.
He had said: “I don’t know where she’s at, I don’t know if she’s a respectful girl, I feel like she’s a very flirty girl that didn’t know her boundaries.”
Shakira hits back immediately and tells him to “pipe down”.
The tension doesn’t end there.
Toni admits to making a harsh remark about Dejon, saying:
“I think it goes back to the fact that we see a different side of you when she’s not breathing down your neck.”
She refuses to backtrack, adding: “It’s true, we do, she knows it.”
The fiery scenes come after Love Island viewers accused Shakira of “leading Ben on“.
During a chat with new bombshell Harrison, Shakira suggested that her conversations with Ben weren’t mentally stimulating enough for her.
She said: “I don’t think he’s someone I’d go for on the outside world.
“When I speak to him, we get on well. But on a deeper level, I’m not sure.”
When Harrison asked if she and Ben ever have “deeper chats”, Shakira replied:
“No, well we’ve had a few. I like conversations that stimulate me and I’m quite a smart girl, do you know what I mean?”
She also described Ben as having a neon sign above his head that says “trouble”.
On social media, some claimed Shakira was “leading Ben on” while others said she was insulting his intelligence.
Love Island continues tonight at 9 pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
