FORMER Love Islanders Tyrique and Toby have just let it slip that Shaq’s ex Tanya is in holding to enter the villa as a shock bombshell.
She’s reportedly waiting in South Africa for the moment she’s due to come in.
Speaking about the news, Tyrique shared: “So a little birdie told me that Tanya’s in South Africa just waiting to go in.
“But hey you didn’t… [hear it from me].”
Toby interrupted his mate, jokingly calling him out on leaking spoilers.
“Now you’re going to ruin her chances of going in, they’re going to tell her, ‘hey you’re not going in.’”
Shaq Muhammad and Tanya Manhenga coupled up on the first day of Love Island season nine and appeared to be smitten.
They were the first couple on the season to say that they love each other, though their villa romance wasn’t without its twists and turns.
When Casa Amor came around, Tanya decided to ditch Shaq and go off with bombshell Martin Akinola.
Though the new pairing didn’t last long as Tanya realised she still had feelings for Shaq, and they subsequently recoupled.
Tanya and Shaq finished Love Island in fourth place, and continued to date after filming for the show came to a close.
They eventually moved in together and even at times sparked engagement rumours.
But their romance sadly wasn’t meant to be, as the duo called time on their relationship after a year and a half.
The Sun exclusively reported on the split at the time, alleged to have been sparked by some of Shaq’s “behaviour” while on a lads’ holiday with fellow Love Island star Dami Hope.
The insider said: “Tanya was not happy about some of Shaq’s behaviour on holiday. His communication really wasn’t what it should have been.
“He was seen looking very close to another girl – nothing was going on but it looked bad.”
Shaq also recently opened up to Belle Hassan about his split from Tanya, saying he got a lap dance while in Miami.
“I went on holiday to Miami, and I got a lap dance,” he admitted. “I was fighting for the relationship. I said it was wrong, and I thought it was something we could get past.”
Since the spoiler about Tanya entering the villa was leaked, fans have been hunting for proof and believe the rumour to be true.
Taking to Reddit, viewers made a thread compiled with evidence, the main piece being that her Instagram account seems to be ran by someone else right now.
The original poster said: “I was lurking on her [Tanya’s] IG to see if I would find any hints of her coming in as a bombshell and noticed she recently posted this photo that she’d already shared a couple of months ago. Meaning, someone is probably running her account.”
Another eagle-eyed fan noted: “I’m very aware that this is a stretch but also the caption says beautiful and Shaq said she dumped him for calling another girl beautiful lol.”
Shaq was in a love triangle with stunners AJ Bunker and Helena Ford, but AJ was chosen as one of the first two stars to be axed from the show.
So if Tanya comes in as a bombshell and stirs things up further, it’ll be an explosive confrontation.
Love Island: All Stars continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
