Love Island's Tanya and Shaq's odds of winning dramatically SLASHED after Martin row

Tanya Manhenga and Shaq Muhammad's odds of being crowned this year's Love Island winners have been drastically slashed thanks to last night's dramatic update from the villa.

Fans of the ITV2 show were stunned as Tanya made an explosive speech which saw her and Shaq make things official once again following a Casa Amor shake-up.

Tanya shocked everyone when she decided to bring Martin Akinola back to the main villa with her after meeting him in Casa Amor. Shaq, meanwhile, chose to stay single and was left vulnerable from being booted out of the villa in South Africa.

In last night's installment of Love Island, viewers were shown Tanya sneaking out of bed with Martin to "go to the bathroom"' before she headed downstairs and went to see Shaq, who was sleeping alone in the room downstairs.

She leant over him and woke him up, giving him a big hug before leaning in for a kiss, leaving viewers of the ITV2 show completely stunned and they couldn't believe the pair had kissed once more.

The move from Tanya has seen her chances of being announced as one of the show's winners later this month improve massively - with bookmakers now putting the on-off couple third in the running to be told by host Maya Jama they have won the £50,000 cash prize.

Will Young and Jessie Wynter remain the odds-on favourites at 4/7, followed by Ron Hall and Lana Jenkins (3/1) in second spot.

Jessica O'Reilly of Ladbrokes said: "Tanya's speech certainly caused a stir, and while it was bad news for Martin it's clearly good news for Shaq, and the couple have stormed back towards the top of the betting."

Tanya went on to confess to Jessie about the kiss on last night's episode, as she admitted she didn't have physical feelings towards Martin.

"This place really does test you, but it does really work," Tanya explained as she seemingly hinted she'd be going back to Shaq.

The latest Love Island odds come as fans of the dating show call for one islander to be crowned a solo winner.

Viewers loved Kai Fagan's refusal to apologise to Olivia Hawkins as she pulled him for a chat about his 'fake' comments regarding her.

"I wanted to pull you for a chat because when I went to Casa things were good, things were really good and I just want to know what made you have these feelings. Thinking I'm not genuine, that I'm fake, I just want to know where that's come from," she said.

He sat opposite her, confused as he said they were both happy with their respective new partners.

"But that's not the point I'm getting at, you've said these things and I was really hurt at the fire pit when you called me fake. That's not the person I thought I knew, they're very strong things to say... I do expect an apology for those comments," he said.

Whilst she expected him to apologise, Kai was adamant as he said: "I'm not apologising for anything... that's how I felt at the time."

Fans heaped praise on Kai for refusing to apologise to Olivia and begged for show bosses to crown him as a solo winner.
