Love Island: Fans shocked as Tanya 'embarrasses' Martin with public speech about Shaq

The senior software engineer watched the women he is currently in a couple with declare her love for Shaq Muhammad after the islanders enjoyed a party with Jax Jones.

In her speech, Tanya said: “I just want to say in front of everyone that this message is for Shaq. I know when I left for Casa I came back with Martin and I thought I was pursuing a connection but it didn't work out.

“I'm saying this in front of everyone because I came back with Martin in front of everyone and I can't imagine the embarrassment and the hurt you felt and how disappointed you were in me

“I'm so sorry for embarrassing you and making you feel hurt and not speaking to you all these days has been so hard.

“And being in bed and you aren't there has been really hard for me and even thought it wasn't the best situation bringing Martin back, it has made me realise I don't want anyone else.

"It doesn't matter who walks through this door, it doesn't matter what happens or what challenge is there, I don't care about winning and I don't care about anyone speaking to me, I only want you.

“Today I spoke to Martin and we did end things on mutual ground and I couldn't even sleep yesterday. I snuck downstairs and I kissed him, I just needed a hug.

"I just want to let you know how sorry I am and I'll never do anything like that again to make you feel like that and I want to let you know from the bottom of my heart I love you so much."

Tanya brought Martin back to the main villa after the Casa Amor challenge, having previously been in a couple with Shaq since the start of the show.

Her choice upset Shaq, who had remained single throughout the ‘ultimate relationship test’, and since returning Tanya has realised she would prefer to be back with her original partner.

The biomedical science student even got up in the middle of the night and left her bed to kiss Shaq, who was sleeping downstairs.

Fans took to social media to discuss the speech at the end of the episode and called Tanya ‘mean’ for deciding to express her love for Shaq in front of Martin and the rest of the islanders.

A third posted: “wait but Tanya… Martin is right there too? this is really mean. sorry this is MEAN ”

A fourth added: “Tanya told Martin to stay in his side piece lane PLEASE”

A fifth said: “Tanya loves to talk about red flags. Well personally I think she’s the biggest red flag of them all #loveisland”
