Love Island's Shaughna 'exposed as faking feelings' for Luke M with 50K headline

Love Island fans accused Shaughna Phillips of being interested in £50K not Luke Mabbott.

Loyal followers of the show drew their conclusions after claiming the heartbroken singleton had zilch interest in the Justin Bieber lookalike in the last four weeks.

However, hordes of fans pointed out Shaughna seemed to have a change of heart following a big reveal in the headlines challenge News Splash.

The controversial headline proposed unlucky-in-love Shaughna and Luke M should couple up to win the £50,000 cash prize after both suffering heartache in the villa.

Fans claimed it was the headline which turned Shaughna's head, not genuine feelings for Luke.

Luke M seemed to be having equally bad luck when his first partner Jess Gale drifted away from him in a bid to try and seduce Mike Boateng.

The Justin Bieber lookalike faced more heartache when his Casa Amor lover Natalia Zoppa dumped him as quickly as she could after returning to main villa with the "ick".

Things had been looking up for the blond hunk after single Demi Jones expressed an interest in getting to know him.

However, their connection was rocked by the newcomer Jamie Clayton cherry picking the redhead for a date with the picturesque backdrop of the vineyard.

Demi confided in Luke she was going to keep her options open following a successful date with Jamie.

Her feelings changed when the dramatic recoupling loomed over the islanders headsand the flame-coloured haired beauty confessed to Luke it was him she was interested in.

But Shaughna had already made a play for the singleton in the hope he would consider her in a new romantic light.

The beauty claimed she had felt pleased when things were over between Luke and Natalia.

Also, she noted she chose to "marry" Luke in the infamous snog, marry and pie challenge.
