Shakira will tell one of her close boy pals “I didn’t think you’d have the balls”; in Monday night’s episode.

The day after Movie Night, Conor and Shakira head to the Firepit to discuss “uncharted territory”;.

He tells her: “There’s definitely other girls here that I’d still like to get to know...

“Why haven’t I tried it with you?”;

Surprised, Shakira replies: “You are my friend, if we ended and you’d be on bad terms with me..

“I’d never want that...”;

Conor then continues: “Maybe something worth thinking about...

“It makes sense.”;

Shakira replies: “This is such a spanner in the works right now...

“It’s a spanner I didn’t think you’d have the balls to do.”;

Conor first matched with Helena before moving on withToni, who he claimed was more his type.

But then Emily turned up and caught his eye and left Toni reeling.

A few days later, Conor started flirting with Megan but the two never actually made it into a couple as Megan was dumped.

Then, after Casa Amor, Conor recoupled with Harry’s ex Emma, with Emily left dumped.

Shakira was first coupled with Harry before Helena turned his head.

She then got close to Ben before realising the pair were not a good fit.

Shakira briefly got back with Harry before he went back to Helena again.

During Casa Amor, Shakira recoupled with Ty.

Reacting to the First Look teaser about Shakira and Conor getting close, fans have flocked to X to share their thoughts.

One person said: “I’d be here for Shakira and Conor if he doesn’t mess her around! But why does he always wait ages to tell a girl he likes her?! They could have gotten together a long time ago!”;

While another wrote: “I don’t trust Ty and I actually think Conor truly likes Shakira, I think Shakira’s been his fave from the start.”;

And a third said: “Conor with Shakira??? A big No!!! I truly believe when Conor leaves the villa, he will go back to Megan. Shakira please stay with Ty.”;
