Love Island stars ‘go missing’ and fail to appear on Aftersun after being plagued by split rumours
TWO Love Island stars failed to appear on Aftersun as planned amid claims they have secretly split up.
The ITV2 show was missing two of its billed guests after they failed to show up to the set of the programme.
Tanya Manhenga and Shaq Muhammad were slated to appear on the programme in the role of the ex-Islanders behind the Aftersun bar.
Each week, the programme welcomes former show stars to prop up the bar set in the studio.
However, the role was seemingly axed for the first time ever this week after Tanya and Shaq failed to show up.
Their appearance was first revealed over a week ago in TV guide listings which stated: “Maya Jama is joined by Indiyah Polack, Sam Thompson, Chris Taylor and ninth series favourites Tanya and Shaq to unpack all the action from the Love Island villa.”
Whilst Indiyah, Chris and Sam all appeared as billed, as well as this week’s dumped Islanders, Tanya and Shaq were nowhere to be seen.
The lovebirds originally found themselves in the final of the ninth series 18 months ago and their romance has seemingly been going strong since then.
However, last week it appeared their romance had come under strain after Tanya made a very telling move.
She has cleared all traces of Shaq Muhammad from her official Instagram account.
But after noticing Tanya’s big change, a fan said: “She deleted a post she made just a day ago with Shaq when he was still In America with Dami.
“After he came back yesterday i clocked that it got deleted scrolled down and saw she actually deleted every picture and Reel that shows Shaq even collab posts are gone.”
A second fan then commented: “I’d get deleting a few but deleting a day old post and basically wiping him from her feed including the pictures from her family trip last year is very weird. That’s not normal clean up behavior.”
Last year Tanya revealed to fans how she and Shaq had moved into together – just six months after they left the villa.
Tanya shared a picture of them holding up the keys in their new kitchen, writing: “WE HAVE A NEW HOME.
“Guess there’s no escaping now. Have to thank God always for this next step in our lives. Looking forward to this next chapter.”
