Love Island fans concerned for Shakira as emotional star tipped to quit villa

Another Love Island star could be about to walk from the show according to fans after emotional scenes.

Worried fans said Shakira Khan appeared "drained" as her ongoing situation with 'ex' Harry in the villa took its toll - amid a double return on the series. As she confessed to pal Toni that there were unresolved feelings there with Harry, who has moved on with Helena, she realised she didn't want to pursue things with current partner Conor.

Pals Shakira and Conor decided to give romance a go, but a week in Shakira has realised she "can't give him what he needs". While she made it clear Harry "wasn't right for her" and she didn't want to go back there, she confessed to Toni and then Conor that she wasn't over the situation.

Harry is now "exclusive" with Helena, after weeks of Harry playing the two girls against each other, flipping between both of them more than once. As she spoke with Conor, who said he'd been dragged along and then left, Shakira confessed she didn't want to be with anyone.

She said she was finding it hard to put everything with Harry to bed, with viewers saying it was "obvious" she was "hurt" badly by Harry and what happened there. Accusing Harry of "ruining" Shakira's time on the show, they watched as Shakira broke down in tears during a chat with Toni and Yasmin.

Shakira seemed devastated by what had happened, and was seeming to question her future on the show. She said she was finding it difficult to be "present" in the villa, as well as having to try and move on while being in the bed next to Helena and Harry.

Making a comment about staying single, she left fans concerned for her with many viewers sure it could lead to her quitting the show. Believing it would be best for Shakira to be away from the villa, some fans pleaded with the Islander to consider leaving the show.

Taking to social media, one worried fan said: "I feel like Shakira might walk soon," as another agreed: "I think Shakira is going to walk to be honest, poor girl she’s deserved so much better." A third fan said: "I think Shakira is gonna walk. It’s so sad seeing her so miserable for weeks," while a fourth added: "Yeah I think Shakira is gonna walk. It's so obvious she's over the experience at this point."

Others called for her to make the decision, with one fan saying: "Shakira time to pack it up babe.. Bow out with your head held up high.. Just tell them you want to go." Another said: "Shakira is drained, you can tell. She just needs to go home tbh."

A further post read: "I really do think Harry’s ruined Shakira’s experience but damn she looks like she needs to go home." Another said: "She needs to go home, I’m worried about her now."

There was a shock for both Conor and Shakira by the end of the episode, as former Islander and Conor's ex Megan walked through the villa doors. She'd just been on a date with Conor where he told her about him and Shakira cooling things.

Megan wasn't the only return, with Blu also making a comeback. The Islanders screamed when they saw the duo back in the villa after weeks away.
