I was on Love Island and I know who the biggest game player is and which couple are ‘forcing’ it
A FORMER Love Island star has revealed who they think the biggest "game player" Islander is – and who is faking it.
The bombshell took to her TikTok to hit out at one couple, as fans quizzed her on her behind-the-scenes knowledge of the ITV2 dating show.
Rachel Finni, who rose to fame on Love Island in 2021, took to Instagram to answer questions from fans about the show.
The star – who famously entered the villa as a bombshell – was asked about Tanya Manhenga and Shaq Muhammad by curious viewers who wanted to know if they would work out.
However, Rachel, 29, hit back that she thought Shaq, 24, was actually a "game player" and "forcing" the relationship.
"Do you think Shaq's actually interested in Tanya?" one fan asked Rachel on TikTok, to which she replied with a video.

"No, can we talk about that eye roll please?" Rachel began, noting how fans thought they spotted Shaq "rolling his eyes" at Tanya, 22, during a heart to heart last week.
"Additionally, I think everyone should listen, there will never be another Indiyah and Dami," she added of last year's runner-up couple Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope.
"I think they're pushing the black couple thing, in my opinion, I think that's what they are doing.
"In past seasons no-one would have ever done but I think people thought it worked so well for Indiyah and Dami.
"The thing we need to remember is that Indiyah and Dami are genuine, and Shaq looks like his head will turn.
"Listen, his head is turning already, he's just not acting on it because he knows what we're going to be like on the outside supporting, they're the black couple, it's going to happen."
Rachel went on to hit out: "Honestly, I think he's one of the biggest game players in there.
"I'm not saying that Tanya is innocent but I think he is one of the biggest game players in there. Sorry, come for me, but that's what I think."
In a follow-up clip, Rachel said: "Whilst they are together, they are going to force it more than they need to because there's support from the black community.
"They're not going to stay there until the end; there's a chance they might do but, it's going to be slightly by force."
It comes after fans spotted an awkward moment between Shaq and Tanya after she revealed romantic feelings for him.
She said: "Obviously I really, really like you and every day the feelings are getting stronger and stronger and stronger."
But as she was speaking, viewers thought they spotted Shaq appearing to roll his eyes without Tanya seeing.
Tanya continued: "I wanted to lead by example to show how much you mean to me, which is a lot."

Shaq replied: "You definitely have shown me how much you do care about me, but obviously it's still early."
"Why was Shaq rolling his eyes?" asked one fan on Twitter, while another said: "Shaq rolled his eyes so hard."
