Earlier in the episode, Tanya secretly snogged Shaq in bed before letting Martin cook her breakfast.

During the day, Tanya ended things with Martin, who said he felt like a "stupid boy" for believing her and slammed her for not giving their romance a proper go.

Following a party with guests Jax Jones and Calum Scott, Tanya shocked the villa when she stood up in front of the other Islanders and confessed her love for Shaq.

She said: "I'm saying this in front of everyone because I came in with Martin in front of everyone and I can't imagine the embarrassment that you felt and the hurt that you felt and how disappointed you were in me, I'm so sorry for embarrassing you and making you feel hurt."

She added: "Not speaking to you all those days has been so hard and like being in bed and you not there has been really hard for me.

"And even though it wasn't the best situation bringing Martin back - sorry Martin - it has made me realise that I don't want anyone else."

Tanya then dropped the bombshell that she sneaked downstairs to give Shaq a kiss in the night.

"I just want you to know from the bottom of my heart that I love you so much. I'm so so sorry babe," she continued.

Tanya and Shaq shared an embrace as a heartbroken Martin looked on.

Viewers have hit out at Tanya's "disrespectful" behaviour.

One wrote: "Tanya apologising to Shaq for embarrassing him by embarrassing Martin is so insane what is wrong with this girl."

Another posted: "Tanya apologising to Shaq for making him look like a mug, while she is *literally* doing the exact same thing to Martin during that speech. Nah sis, you are taking the piss."

"You all trying to dismiss Tanya’s behaviour. Just got to accept she’s rude and mad disrespectful," a third echoed.

Someone else said: "Can you imagine the uproar if the situation was different and Tanya was a male and Martin was a girl? She is DISRESPECTFUL. To do that speech like that in front of him is crazy. how dismissive and ignorant. Have some class."

Another posted: "Well that was so cringe, totally disrespectful to Martin, she totally humiliated him, Tanya showing her true colours, yet again.. run Shaq."

Someone else said: "Tanya is fully gaslighting Martin because everything he's saying is true but she just won't be honest about it...this is really mean. sorry this is MEAN."
