Bitter Love Island feud errupts as Tanya refuses to do task - sparking fury from co-star

The Love Island villa will see sparks flying in tonight's episode as Tanya Manhenga appears to refuse to take part in a task.

A teaser clip ahead of Friday's episode sees a 'ranking task' — designed to know doubt cause drama — which includes islanders asked who they think are the biggest game players.

Tanya, who is coupled with Shaq, is left reeling in the footage before appearing to refuse to take part in the task.

But it could just be clever editing and tonight's instalment will see the full task unfold.

Will and Jessie are asked their game player thoughts, while Tanya refuses to be one of the three chosen names.

She refuses to take part and says: "No I'm not going up."

And the drama didn't end there as Ron appeared to pick up past feuds at his former love rival Casey with a nasty swipe last night.

During the task, Ron made a nasty barb after Will's throw fell short in the game. He joked: "Bit short, like Casey..." But Casey looked unimpressed - and eventually got his own retort, as he branded another throw as weak "like Ron's chat".

Meanwhile this week has been an exit-fuelled offering with Olivia Hawkins and Maxwell Samuda announced to be leaving but with a 'power play' in hand.

Host Maya Jama told: "You must now choose one girl and one boy from the remaining vulnerable couples to be dumped from the Island tonight. Please go and take a seat to discuss your reasons and to make a decision."

After some deliberation, they eventually settled on Claudia.and Keanan Brand next in line to head home.

Olivia explained: “This has been a really difficult decision for both of us.

"Do you keep a couple in that could potentially rebuild a flame? Do you keep a boy and a girl that haven't had enough time in here?

"It’s been very difficult to make this decision. There’s so many options we could have gone for."

And fans of the ITV2 reality show were also reacting to the exit on social media.

One posted: "Pretty sure the reason why Olivia got Claudia and Keenan out (let's be honest Maxwell did not have a say) was because Claudia was in the trio with Jessie and Sammie that stood up to her."

Another offered her take on the topic, saying: "Olivia voted Claudia because she didn’t side with her during that Jessie fake row. 100%."

Love Island continues Friday at 9pm on ITV2.
