LOVE Island viewers have noted a huge change in Shaq Muhammad after Tanya Manhenga screamed at Martin Akinola in the villa.
Fans said Shaq has forgotten his "morals" after he waded into other villa disputes that he had believed to be unfair.
But the 24-year-old from London remained quiet as villa beauty Tanya exploded at Martin after he called her a "liar" for failing to tell him that she had kissed Shaq.
Tonight, Martin confronted his villa partner Tanya over her behaviour, but she refused to apologise and told him he was "bitter".
"I just wanted to tell you you're a liar," he told her.
He then walked away as Tanya followed him and said: "You've said your piece, yeah but let me tell you something.
"One thing you're not going to do is call me a liar.
"You're not going to call be a liar because you're bitter.
"Don't ever do that, you're a grown man, act your age."
Shaq was forced to hold Tanya back, but viewers were surprised that he didn't step in to support Martin.

One said: "Didn’t Shaq get onto Ron & Lana for lipsing straight after she ditched Casey?"
Another said: "Morality police Shaq needs to be real with Tanya bc you can’t get vocal about plate washing and disrespect but not this #LoveIsland"
Shaq was buzzing after Tanya's emotional speech earlier.
After Tanya declared her love for him in front of the whole villa, she then told him: "I’m so sorry it took someone else coming in for me to fully realise that I can’t lose you.”
Last night, 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.
Following a VIP 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.
