Love Island 2025 OG Shakira Khan has been giving main character energy from the moments she stepped foot int he villa; especially during those first couple of days in the villa when virtually every boy was willing to fight to the death to get five minutes with her on the terrace with her. Goals.
Since her triumphant first week in the series 12 villa, our queen's crown has started to slip somewhat following several unsuccessful villa liaisons with the likes of Harry Cooksley and Ben Holbrough; but amidst all of the setbacks and tears her best girlies Toni Laites and Yasmin Pettet have been by her side, helping her weather the storm that is Love Island. Who says this isn't Friendship Island?
Our girl is now living it up in Casa Amor and growing close to bombshell Ty Isherwood (although her nemesis Helena Ford also has her eye on him), but will this princess bring her new prince charming back to her castle following tonight's ever-iconic recoupling?
We hope so, this legend is overdue a happy ending.
