Former islanders delivered their brutal verdict by returning for a face-to-face vote, and Dejon and Meg were sent packing a day before the final in a nailbitingly tight vote.

But fans couldn’t help but notice Shakira’s ‘smug’ face during this, as she and Harry stood in their safe couple at the other side of Maya. 

Fans on X noticed that Shakira was giggling as it became clear that Meg and Dejon would be going home. 

One person wrote: “Shakira giggling the whole time,” while a second penned: “The way Shakira is laughing is actually out of order but as it’s shakira it’s fine?? How is Harry and shakira not there? Wake up British public.” 

Someone else echoed: “Shakira absolutely live laugh loving this dumping in the background.” 

And another noted: “Not shakira laughing in the background.” 

Someone else said: “Shakira has been laughing very unsubtly every time an islander badmouths Meg and D. If things were reversed and Meg was laughing at Shakira in this situation you wouldn’t be happy right now.” 

And another wrote: “I think Shakira showing the same smug face and smirk that Meg has done but doesn’t get the same flak bit unfair but the ‘ other mean’ girls are through.” 

Appearing shortly after on Aftersun, Dejon and Meg were grilled on their romance and time in the villa, with Maya asking them about missing out on the final.

"We definitely expected it. We were really ready to go home, to be honest," Dejon told her.

"I mentioned to the few boys that, like, I feel like my Love Island experience is finished because I came here and got what I wanted with Meg."

During the final vote, the pair's connection was called into question, with some noting that they didn't think Dejon could remain faithful outside the villa as he had his "head turned" with newcomers frequently.

However, others thought they had already passed the honeymoon period, with their squabbles being a sign of a settled relationship.

"It was interesting the way that we got dumped, because I feel like the decisions were definitely… you kind of heard from both people's point of view," Dejon said.

"Some people saw bad things and some people saw good things. So it definitely made me in this time of being like reflect on my actions over the villa."

When Maya asked if he understood why some people may have thought he had a game plan, Dejon added: "Yeah, definitely.

"Coming in, I just thought, I'm on Love Island. I'm gonna explore connections, I'm gonna be flirty, I'm gonna see what my strongest connection was," he explained.
