No shade, but we keep forgetting Love Island bombshell Shea Mannings was even in the Love Island 2025 villa.
To be fair, this is one of the most chaos-fuelled, dramatic series of Love Island in years, so your quiet, mysterious, under-the-radar bombshells are going to get lost in the carnage.
Which is a shame, because when we first saw Shea strut his way into that villa we almost fainted - and not just because of this vile heatwave. The man is fit, but Love Island storylines he is not going to dominate, is he?
As such, Shea didn't last too long in the Love Island villa (17 days to be precise), and in that time he explored two or three connections, but nothing really came of any of them, hence the dumping.
One of his strongest connections was with series fave Yasmin Pettet and with her posture and his height, we genuinely thought this might be a match. Alas, it wasn't.
In fact, after a few days, it became pretty obvious that despite a few kisses here and there, Yas might just be 'using' Shea to secure her spot in the villa. Shea's words not ours.
He said so himself when heat caught up with him on Zoom earlier this week. We naturally asked the bombshell how he felt about Yasmin now and his answer was equal parts respectful and shady. Our fave.
He exclusively told us, 'I'm not one to bear grudges. I do think that Yas did use me. And, you know, at the time I was frustrated at her for that. But yeah, we got on after, we were talking fine after. We were making jokes about her being a robot and bringing the content. So, yeah, we were friends after. I've got no hard feelings.'
The conversation then turned to Yasmin's increasingly soaring popularity with Love Island fans. Apparently, the hype isn't hyping inside the actual villa, because he told us he was 'shocked' to learn of her popularity with the viewers. Shade.
Speaking of his Love Island regrets, Shea continued the light shade sprinkling, by saying, 'I wouldn't have picked Yasmin. That's my only regret; picking [Yasmin]. I think if I'd have picked Malisha [Jordan] I'd probably still be in there.'
Good God, imagine if those two 10s got together...
