The latest development in Love Island 2025 has taken an emotional turn as fan-favorite contestant Shakira Khan struggles under mounting pressure, causing many fans to speculate that she might decide to exit the show.

After her brief romance with Conor Phillips came to an end and with unresolved feelings for Harry Cooksley lingering, Shakira appears worn out, prompting worries that she could choose to leave the series voluntarily.

Unfinished Business and Heartbreak

Shakira’s journey has been challenging. She recently broke things off with Conor, explaining that she “wasn’t able to fulfill his needs” and acknowledging that witnessing Harry’s relationship with Helena Ford has hindered her ability to move forward. In a heartfelt conversation with her close friend Toni, she shared:

“I can’t sit and kiss and cuddle someone all night when I’ve got [Harry] and [Helena] in the bed next to me… I’m not ready to give myself to someone.”

Her candidness struck a chord with fans, yet many feel the emotional burden is becoming too overwhelming. Social media was flooded with support, with one viewer commenting:

“It wouldn’t surprise me if Shakira decides to leave on her own. She’s clearly not herself in there.”

Another added:

“I think she’ll walk if Megan gets to stay… She already mentioned she wants to go home.”

The Final Straw?

The arrival of bombshell Megan Forte Clarke—Conor’s ex—has only intensified the situation. With Harry now linked with Helena and Conor possibly rekindling past relationships, Shakira seems more isolated than ever. Fans witnessing her emotional breakdown are encouraging her to focus on her well-being:

“Shakira is drained, you can tell. She just needs to go home.”

Some fans have pointed fingers at Harry for her struggles:

“Harry’s ruined Shakira’s experience… She looks like she needs to go home.”

What’s Next for Shakira?

With tensions running high, tonight’s episode could be pivotal. Will she confront Harry about his lingering feelings? Or will the emotional strain push her to walk away? As one fan put it:

“Shakira is fed up, she’s over the villa life.”

Only time will reveal her decision to stay or go—but one thing’s for sure: viewers are cheering for her happiness, whether she chooses to remain in the villa or leave it behind.
