LOVE Island fans think Shaq kicked off last night because he was fuming about being in the bottom four.

The airport security officer was at risk of being dumped from the villa alongside Tanya after failing to secure enough of the public vote.

In the end the pair were saved and it was Maxwell and Olivia and Claudia and Keanan who got the boot.

But viewers noticed that Shaq was acting up afterwards and took a joke too far with an unsuspecting Tom Clare.

It ended with Tom telling him to "f*** off" while Shaq branded him a "big baby" in return.

Taking to Twitter to question Shaq’s behaviour, many speculated it was because he was upset about not being liked by the public.

One person commented: “Shaq and Tanya are absolutely bothered by being in the bottom four. They can't fool me. Now look at Shaq acting up with the other Islanders. It's his outlet because he can't say he's mad...he's big mad.😆.”

A second said: “Shaq lowkey vexed at being in the bottom so he's lashing out by putting people down. First it was Tom, tomorrow will be Ron..”

While a third added: “Shaq’s attack on Tom defo stemmed from him telling him the truth that Tanya doesn’t love him, probably thinks he convinced the public too & thats why they bottom 4 😭.”

And a fourth remarked: “Shaq is just pressed that him and Tanya were in the bottom 4 and Lana and Ron werent — I knew that was going to bug him.”

Shaq goaded the footballer after his team triumphed in the sporting challenge - but he was in no mood for it.

Tom fumed: "Enough's enough. Mates don't do that. Friends don't do that."

He was initially seen trying to look like he wasn't bothered but it was soon clear he was silently fuming at the remarks.

Tom snapped: “Why are you on me all the time? It’s done, it was funny the first time bro. Just f*** off bro, just leave it.”

Shaq replied: "What do you mean? It's a joke. You're a grown man. You lost a sports day challenge. Relax. Actually relax."

Tom looked like he was struggling to stay composed, replying: "Shaq I'm not going to tell you again bro. I'm not going to tell you again."

In the end, Tanya Manhenga took Shaq away telling him: "Stop being petty. You're being naughty. Babe, that was bad."

He insisted: "I've had my fun now."

She added: "You're going to have to straighten it out now. That's what's annoying about these things. It's awkward now."
