THINGS kicked off in the Love Island villa last night - but eagle-eyed fans have spotted something else intriguing.
They noticed two islanders chatting in the back of one garden scene.
The pair were spotted in the background during a tense chat between American Islander Toni and Emily.
Toni and Emily clashed in fiery scenes with the former accusing her costar of being nosey on the ITV reality dating series.
Toni - who arrived as the first bombshell of the series - got annoyed after hearing a conversation between Emily and Conor.
The row then started after Emily accused Toni of talking behind her back and was warned by Meg that Toni had said she was being "nosey" and described her as "Little Miss Sunshine."
Toni was also seen talking about Emily to Shakira, who agreed with Toni's views.
Following their row, an exasperated Emily said she thought Toni was "just trying to cause a problem," and "she's f****g nuts."
But amidst the drama fans couldn’t help notice Shakria, 22, and scaffolder Shea, 25, getting cosy on the daybeds.
The pair were spotted laughing together despite the unfolding drama and fans think a new romance could be brewing.
Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), one user said: “Toni and Emily arguing and all I could focus on was Shea making Shakira LAUGH in the background??? Oh my ship has potential to sail and I’m here for it.”
“Okay, love the Toni drama and all but did anyone notice Shakira and Shea in the background. They looked so cute together,” chimed another.
A third penned: “I peeped shea and shakira chatting in the background today.
“You also have to realize that they haven’t showed us all of the conversations. We know Shae and Shakira have chatted for example bc when Shae was fighting for his spot he said he’d like to continue getting to know her even though we haven’t seen them talking at all yet.”
“SHEA PULL SHAKIRA ALREADY #LoveIsland” exclaimed a fourth.
The Mancunian beauty is now open to getting to know more people after she called things off with model Ben.
Their relationship was rocky from the outset as Shakira was left constantly questioning their chemistry.
Shakira gave a range of reasons for her decision, including telling Ben that he "dulled my sparkle."
She is now growing close with Harry Cooksley and things are heating up between the pair after they shared a steamy kiss in yesterday’s Spin The Bottle game.
