He’s Obviously Not That Bothered About Her… Love Island’s Shakira Has Suddenly Found Herself At The Center Of A Fresh Backlash After One Remark About Tommy’s Relationship History Left Viewers Absolutely Stunned. What Was Meant To Be A Routine Debrief Quickly Turned Into One Of The Week’s Biggest Talking Points, With Fans Accusing Her Of Crossing A Line And Ignoring The Feelings Of Tommy’s Ex.

SHAKIRA Khan has left Love Island fans gobsmacked after appearing to dismiss the revelation that Tommy Bradley had a girlfriend just two weeks before entering the villa.

The former Islander insisted: “He’s obviously not that bothered about her,” in reference to the woman Tommy split from shortly before joining the Love Island.

The comments, made on The Debrief, haven’t gone down well with viewers, who branded them insensitive.

During Thursday night’s episode, co-host Yasmin said: “It sounds like he got the call for Love Island, sacked her off and flew out.”

Shakira replied: “Yeah, perfect. He’s obviously not that bothered about her then, is he?”

She then added: “I don’t think Yas should have a problem,” after Toni admitted she felt sorry for the woman Tommy had dumped.

Fans were quick to slam Shakira’s comments on social media.

One viewer accused her of being “male-centred”, while another wrote: “I don’t think she knows how to be there for girls IRL.”

 

A third added: “I’ve defended Shakira so much but this take is actually crazy.”

Another concluded: “She’s basically saying it’s okay if Tommy has treated another girl like s**** because he’s treating Yasmin well.”

Earlier this week, Tommy was forced to explain the situation to Yasmin.

He said: “I was previously in a relationship with someone but I told her I was doing this and yeah, we left it sweet.”

He added: “It was quite recent, but we’d split up maybe a few weeks before.”

When Maya Jama pressed him on how long the relationship had lasted, Tommy replied: “I would say it was about nine or 10 months, just under a year.”

Tommy later told Yasmin he had broken up with his girlfriend two weeks before flying out to Majorca.

As Tommy entered as a Casa Amor bombshell, the timeline left some viewers questioning whether he was still in the relationship when the first episode aired.

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
