LOVE Island couple Shaq and Tanya became the first couple to declare their love for each other in tonight's show.
The smitten pair had a heart to heart on the outdoor beds after the recoupling and quickly took their relationship to the next level after just 16 days.
Looking intently into Tanya's eyes, Shaq said: "The way I feel about you is just getting stronger and stronger everyday.
"When I look in your eyes I do see a future with you. I know what we have is very special.
"Tanya. I love you."
Tanya, who was celebrating her birthday, squealed at Shaq's declaration and responded: "I love you too babe, I really do."
