Love Island may only be two weeks in, but Shaq Muhammad and Tanya Manhenga have already confessed to sleeping together while enjoying a romantic night alone.
While there might be some drama for Islanders caught in love triangles, other couples are going strong.
On Friday’s episode the Hideaway retreat was opened for the first time this season and gave one loved-up couple the chance to really get to know each other away from the watchful eyes of everyone else in the villa.
Early in the episode the Islanders received a text with the good news, which read: ‘Islanders, The Hideaway Retreat is open tonight, please choose a lucky couple to spend a luxury night away #NightAwayWithBae.’
The decision was unanimous and Shaq and Tanya were sent packing over to their private area, which was complete with a plunge pool.
Not having to share a room with the others, the couple clearly took advantage of the alone time and after the lights went out, the cameras showed some serious rustling going on under the sheets.

The two were glowing when they returned to the villa the next day and each went to debrief with the rest of the boys and girls.
As soon as she got back to the main bedroom, Tanya was asked by Tanyel what had happened overnight, to which she replied: ‘Everything’.
Later speaking to the girls on the terrace, she was asked to divulge more and said that her beau had been telling her how much he liked her.

‘And then we got into the bed…and got down and dirty,’ she said as the girls squealed and cheered.
Meanwhile Shaq recounted it a bit more romantically and said the mood was set with rose petals and champagne…and lube and massage oil.
He added: ‘And then we started exploring and playing with the handcuffs’.
‘I am a five star General.’
He added that ‘everyday is an opportunity to know her on a deeper level and I feel like last night I definitely did that and today I am on cloud nine.’
Despite the Islanders being thrilled by the news, those watching along at home had some questions.
‘Tanya and Shaq already had sex… it’s been a week. Casa Amor will really kill them, put these ppl on Too Hot To Handle,’ one wrote.
Another added: ‘Once you have sex in the villa you are cuffed.’
Plenty of people pointed out that the couple only met just over a week ago (Picture: Twitter)
