LOVE Island fans are convinced one couple locked horns in an off-camera spat after appearing VERY frosty on-screen.
It came as the first episode of the matchmaking series - which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year - kicked off with the unexpected arrival of American bombshell Toni, 24.
Yet before the Las Vegas pool cabana server caused chaos by stealing Ben, fan noted supposed bad blood between one pair.
The show's six couples opening couples - picked by the girls from the dating bios of the lads - were Shakira and Ben, Meg and Dejon, Sophie and Harry, Helena and Conor, Alima and Blu, and Megan and Tommy.
Yet fans now reckon Shakira, 22, who offended swathes of viewers as she made a stark comment about 9-5 jobs, had also irked her partner too.
Another quizzed: "Did I miss something between Ben and Shakira - why does everyone hate each other?"
A third wrote: "Can we just get a brand new cast I don’t like this one."
The awkward attitude came shortly before ITV2 viewers threatened to call Ofcom after Shakira was left single - when Toni chose her man to couple up with.
Yet show fans already suspect issues with the new couple, claiming Ben simply "doesn't fancy" the American bombshell.
Meanwhile, others have suggested Meg isn't attracted to Dejon "at all" as the first show twist played out.
Some have even called for one lad to be kicked out - and his partner saved - as the new couples start to get used to each other.
FIESTY CHARACTER
Prior to her time in the villa, Shakira dropped a huge hint about her fiery attitude.
She warmed: "I could argue with a brick wall.
"If arguing was an Olympic sport, I'd have gold medal, and I will just argue in the face I'm even if I'm wrong, I will argue in your face just until, until I have no breath left.
"I'm stubborn."
