Love Island fans predict heartbreak for Shaq as he makes tearful speech to Tanya

Love Island fans are predicting heartache ahead for Shaq as he and Tanya came fourth in the Love Island final.

The pair, who have recently become boyfriend and girlfriend, delivered gushing speeches to each other in the series finale, but viewers are concerned they won't last now the show is over.

It has been a bumpy ride for the airport security officer and university student, with Tanya bringing Martin back to the villa after Casa Amor, after the pair said "I love you".

For a while it looked like things might be over for the pair, who coupled up on the first day, but they found their way back to each other, with Tanya apologising and choosing Shaq over Martin during a recoupling.

In tonight's finale, which saw Kai and Sanam scoop £50,000, the finalist delivered heartfelt speeches to one another.

Tanya, dressed in a stunning blue gown told Shaq: "I love the way you care so much, your cuddles that make me feel safe, your infectious smile that brightens up my day and most of all your heart of gold.”

Shaq, in his speech, said: "I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us because no doubt it’s a bright future ahead. I guess what I’m trying to say is, Tan, I love you.”

Despite this, viewers aren't convinced the pair will last.

One person said on Twitter: "Sorry i’m crying because i know tanya’s going to hurt shaq and i love him so much."

A second wrote: "Tanya totally does not deserve Shaq - he's been straight as a laser beam, she's been all over the place. Outside will be a worry frankly."

One viewer penned: "Soul mate uno????? Shaq is gonna cry blood once they break up."

A fourth simply said: "shaq heartbreak sure post villa."

Another thought that both Shaq and Tanya and Tom and Samie, who finished in third please, could be over soon.

They wrote: "Samie and Tanya are breaking up with Tom and Shaq as soon as that first brand deal lands…"

In the last moments of the final, Kai and Sanam were crowned winners, with Ron and Lana placing second.

During the sweet declarations, the teacher and social worker spoke of their "dream" time together so far.

"You charmed me with your smile and melted me with your warm brown eyes. I was hooked by your intelligence, values, kindness and you always manage to make me laugh. You’ve made me realise my worth and I can’t wait for us to one day be official," Sanam said.

The final certainly delivered on tension but fans became frustrated by a format change in this series, as Kai and Sanam were not giving the option to 'steal or split' the money.

"Do they not do the “steal or split” 50K anymore? #LoveIsland," one wrote, while another said: "Sorry why did they remove the steal or split? I genuinely want someone to steal the full thing one day #LoveIsland."
