Love Island’s Tanya Manhenga was left fuming with partner Shaq Muhammad during Friday night’s episode as tensions simmered over during a row between the couple.
Airport security officer Shaq, 24, was given a dressing down by student and model Tanya, 22, following a disagreement over washing up which was aired on Thursday.
And during Sunday night’s episode, Shaq debriefed with Tom about Tanya comparing him to an ex boyfriend.
He explained: ‘When someone that you’re seeing and supposed to be in love with says that little things in you remind them of their ex, that for me is such a huge statement to say.
‘I’m not going to go into something with someone that thinks I have negative similarities to an ex.’

Tom reassured Shaq by saying: ‘You will work things out.’
Shaq continued: ‘At this point, the way I feel about the situation, I need to sleep on it and think about it.’
It comes after Shaq angrily confronted Ron Hall, 25, for not helping to clean up in the kitchen, prompting financial advisor Ron to confront Shaq over his behaviour the following day.
All the lads cook their ladies a three course meal, with Shaq then leading the boys in washing the dishes and tidying away afterwards.
However, Ron was nowhere to be seen and instead enjoyed a chat with the girls by the firepit.
The next day, after Ron confronted Shaq, Tanya and Lana Jenkins, 25, also wanted to talk about the night before.
As they discussed Shaq calling Ron over to help with the washing up, Tanya said: ‘It was rude, he’s a grown man, he heard you the first time.’
Lana added: ‘It didn’t sit right and I felt like it wasn’t about the kitchen.’

Tanya later confessed to the girls that Shaq has been ‘giving her the ick’, as she opened up on a girls’ day out.
After returning to the villa, Tanya later called Shaq for a chat as the Islanders enjoyed their evening together in the villa.
Shaq said: ‘I wanted to speak to you about when you and Lana spoke to me, with that situation, I’ll be honest, I really didn’t like it. It felt like I was being told off.’
Tanya replied: ‘Babe, no-one is coming to you like a child, I don’t know why you’re taking it like that.’
Shaq said: ‘The way it was handled, I don’t like it and I don’t expect you of all people to put me in that situation.’
Tanya said: ‘I understand, but for that specific situation that’s how I would have handled it and if I had to go back I would do it the same.’
Getting increasingly frustrated, Shaq protested: ‘I’m telling you now, don’t ever put me in a situation where it’s you and someone else trying to tell me off. Don’t do that.’

Interrupting him, Tanya said: ‘You see how you’re saying, “Tell you off?” I wasn’t telling you off.
‘I just told you how it looked because if I feel like something’s wrong, I’m going to tell you and I felt like that was wrong. That’s it.’
Tayna added: ‘I feel like now I’m seeing the little bits of you I don’t like. There’s certain things that you do really remind me of my ex.’
‘That doesn’t sit right with me,’ responded Shaq, before asking: ‘What does that mean? That we could potentially go down that route?’
Tanya continued: ‘And those are the things that ended up getting to me.’
Showdown: It came after Ron took Shaq aside to discuss how he reacted to Ron not pulling his weight with the washing up the evening before
Love Island’s Casa Amor is making a comeback on Sunday night.
It is typically the boys that cause the greatest upset when they are tempted away from their current couplings during Casa Amor.
However it has been heavily hinted that the girls will refuse to hold back this year, as the annual twist rocks the villa during Sunday night’s episode of the show.
In a first look at the upcoming episode, the girls receive a text telling them they are set to be whisked away to the second villa for the coming days.
Game on! The girls will refuse to hold back this year during Casa Amor, as the annual twist rocks the villa during Sunday night’s episode of the show
And it is Tanya Manhenga, who is currently matched with Shaq Muhammad , who looks the most delighted as the boys arrive in Casa Amor.
As the girls were getting ready at the original villa, Samie received a top secret text.
Shushing the girls so the boys don’t hear, Samie said: ‘Girls, shush keep it quiet it’s time for you to sneak out of the Villa as you are off on a girly getaway, grab any essentials and please leave the Villa immediately #MakeABreakForIt #CasaAmor.’
As the girls rushed out of the Villa in their dressing gowns and towels, with just a few of their belongings, it wasn’t long before the boys clock their absence.
As Shaq walked into the empty dressing room he said: ‘Where are the girls?’ Running back upstairs to the boys he said: ‘No, no, no! Boys…the girls are gone.’

As they all rushed outside to the garden to look for the girls. Among the reactions, Will repeatedly yelled: ‘Jessie!’ and Kai calls out: ‘Olivia!’
However while the boys were clearly already missing the girls, it seemed that it was ‘out of sight, out of mind’ for the Love Island girls.
Upon arrival, they chanted: ‘What happens in Casa Amor stays in Casa Amor.’
Meanwhile one girl said: ‘When the cat’s away the mice will play’.
One of the other girls agreed and said: ‘Out of sight, out of mind.’
