Love Island fans spot issue as Tanya and Shaq become first Islanders to kiss

Love Island fans spotted an issue as Tanya and Shaq were the first Islanders to share a kiss.

The ITV2 series kicked off earlier this week, with 11 people already in the villa - including the original 10 contestants and one bombshell - with more set to head into the show in the coming days and weeks. It's only been a few days but there's already been plenty of drama and a recoupling too, with newbie Tom stealing Olivia from Will.

Will is currently the only single one on the island but two more bombshells are on their way and ready to get grafting to find their partner, so all could change within a matter of hours.

As the show aired tonight, fans were left puzzled why Shaq and Tanya decided to kiss at night - but she had "pied" him earlier in the day and didn't seem keen to kiss him, with viewers noticing she had swerved him twice.

Viewers are now convinced Tanya has a game plan and is "using" Shaq, whilst others suggested that they only kissed at night because the lights were switched off and some said that she was "bullied" into the kiss.

"Tanya only wants to kiss shaq when the lights are off. Bet she denies it in the morning too #LoveIsland," one wrote, whilst a second penned, "Shaq bullied Tanya into that kiss, you can’t tell me otherwise #LoveIsland."

A third shared: "Tanya knows what she is doing. She using Shaq until her Prince Charming comes in x #LoveIsland," with a fourth writing: "I felt like Tanya was blackmailed into that kiss free my girl #LoveIsland."

"shaq put pressure for this kiss i am crying, this was a kiss gave by guilt trip, i am crying we have another Leanne on our hands.. what the hell are we gonna do now ? #loveisland," a fifth shared as they gave their verdict on Twitter.

Maya Jama is the host of the new series, and her debut on Monday received high praise from fans.

"I always like the talent show, I feel like that’s the highlight. I would be so shy to do that. I’m always so impressed with the moves and the confidence to come out and strut your stuff like that," she said as she revealed which part of the show she is looking forward to.

"I actually have thought about that before, if I was in the show and I had to do the talent show what would I do? Maybe a lip sync battle would be good. Or, like Indiyah [Polack], I played the recorder in year 4."
