Love Island: All Stars bombshell Tanya Manhenga is 'dropped' by ITV bosses after ex Shaq Muhammad was dumped from the villa in brutal public vote

Love Island: All Stars bombshell Tanya Manhenga has reportedly been 'dropped' by ITV bosses after her ex, Shaq Muhammad, was dumped from the villa.

Last week, former Love Island stars Toby Aromolaran, 26, and Tyrique Hyde, 26, claimed during a live Twitch stream that a new bombshell was waiting in the wings for Shaq, revealing that 'a little birdie' had told them Tanya, 26, was already in South Africa.

The pair, who appeared on the ITV2 dating show in 2021 and 2023 respectively, made the claims while reacting live to the series and discussing their friend Shaq, 27. 

However, it now appears Tanya will no longer be entering the villa after Shaq received the lowest number of public votes and was subsequently dumped from the island. 

According to Reddit, former Love Island star Mitch Taylor has alleged that Harrison Solomon remains in holding, while Tanya has reportedly been sent home.

A Reddit user responded: 'So they were keeping her for Shaq but wanted to leave the vote up to the public instead of letting islanders choose. interesting! 

Another penned: 'So they were sending her in for Shaq. When the hell will it finally get through to them that “surprise, it’s your ex!!” doesn’t work for anyone (Islanders or audience).' 

Daily Mail has contacted ITV for comment. 

Tanya and Shaq split in August 2024 after almost a year and a half together. 

The former couple first sparked split rumours in July of that year when they unfollowed each other and deleted all their photos together. 

However, Shaq silenced rumours in August 2024 when he shared a photo to his feed of himself and Tanya looking as loved-up as ever at Claudia Fogarty's birthday party.

But, just a few days later, both Shaq and Tanya took their Instagram Stories to write identical statements confirming they had broken up. 

Tanya wrote: 'Hi guys, Just want to say unfortunately me and Shaq are no longer together and have parted ways.

'We wish each other the best and can't thank you enough for loving us together until now! Thank you [prayer emoji].'

Tanya and Shaq came in fourth place in the last-ever winter series of Love Island in 2023, the same year two series of Love Island aired for the first time ever.

Tanya and Shaq's split came after fans were left convinced that they were engaged in February of that year. 

During the lavish holiday, Shaq celebrated Tanya's birthday with an extravagant display consisting of a candlelit beach dinner at sunset. 

Fans were quick to share that they thought the display was for an engagement, but clearly aware of the lengths he had gone to, Shaq captioned the post: 'This is just her birthday imagine when I propose.

'Thank you for helping me in making my baby's birthday one to remember.'
