It's safe to say when we got wind that Shakira was going into the Love Island 2025 villa, our eyes widened somewhat. They then closed a little when we realised it wasn't the one whose hips don't lie.
You think we're bad? We cannot even begin to imagine the amount of Shakira-based jokes Iain Stirling is going to make this summer.
They then widened again when we first took a look at snaps of Shakira Khan, because how is anyone actually THIS gorgeous? And, naturally, being this twenty-something and gorgeous she's come across one or two past Islanders in the wild and there's one particular crossover which makes so much sense because he is arguably the hottest Islander of all time and Shakira is, well, just look at her...
She's a Michelle Keegan x Gemma Owen hybrid brunette Barbie.
Anyway, it turns out Shakira is a bit of a Manchester party girl and has therefore met several past Islanders in VIP areas across the city over the years.
She recently told journalists, 'So I'm a bit of a Manchester girl on a night out, and I definitely like to be in the VIP area sometimes. So, I run into the likes of Callum Jones and Jess White, Tom Clare, Casey [O'Gorman], Adam Maxted from season two. So definitely a few Islanders bopping about in Manny, we like to say hello.'
And when asked whether anything has, erm, happened between her and any former Islander she admitted to being interested in Molly Smith's ex, Callum, but explained how she 'stayed clear' as she knew he had a girlfriend.
Shakira revealed, 'No, but I mean, if Callum Jones was single, I would have [given] that a little, a little try. I knew he had a girlfriend, so we stayed clear. I did get a little wink, though.'
The way we would treasure that wink forever.
At least we've got an insight into her type, though – bloody gorgeous.
Shakira is 22 years from Burnley and works in marketing. When asked by Love Island producers to describe her type, she didn't name drop Callum, but she did say, 'Someone who is tall, charming, witty, with big arms, a good smile and just really funny.'
