Shaughna Phillips reveals her feelings to Luke Mabbott on Love Island 2020 after pulling Demi Jones for a chat.
Yesterday Shaughna surprised the Islanders by confessing to fancying Luke M.
And tonight she makes a move, first speaking to Demi who has been getting to know Luke over the past week.
Speaking first in the Beach Hut, Shaughna says: “It’s kind of been under my nose for weeks. I’ve definitely gone for the guy my mum would want me to go for, finally. Luke is an angel and any girl that ever ends up with him is a very lucky girl.”
Grabbing Demi for a chat at the look out, Shaughna admits: “This is a very uncomfortable conversation for me – which is why I’m smiling because I feel uncomfortable right now – I feel like I want to have a chat with Luke M.”
Demi replies: “Right OK. Oh God… what’s made you feel like this?”
Shaughna admits: “I think Jamie’s solidified this a bit for me. I’m just like absolutely, I don’t have feelings for you at all. I don’t feel like that for Luke, I feel like we’ve always had flirty banter back and forth.
“[In the Snog, Marry, Pie challenge] when he didn’t marry me, I was a bit like, ‘Oh OK… I thought that was going to happen’. Then when it didn’t go well with Natatalia I was thinking ‘I’m happy about that, why am I happy about that?’”
Demi says: “I always thought you and him were more like brother and sister.”
Shaughna replies: “A bit like you and him, you never explored it, I never did.”
Demi says: “I feel the same with Jamie. He’s a really nice guy. I keep thinking I need to be open to Jamie, I can’t make the same mistake I did with Nas. But at the same time I can’t help but gravitate towards Luke. You do what you’ve got to do but obviously at the same time I’m still going to get to know Luke.”
Shaughna says: “Of course!”
Demi adds: “You do you and I’ll do me.”
In the Beach Hut, Demi admits: “I just feel like I don’t have much luck in here. I’ve just got to hope Luke does like me. If Shaughna tells him this information then he might shut it down and come closer to me and it will solidify our connection.
“At the same time, if Shaughna tells him that and he starts acting different about me and starts being like that to her, then again at least I know it wasn’t meant to be.”
Later, Shaughna pulls Luke M and laughing says: “Let me just get it out… When things didn’t work out too well with Natalia and I was like, ‘Yay, why am I yay-ing..?’ It was a weird time for me. So then Jess said, ‘Demi is going to have a chat with Luke’ and I was like, ‘Oh… OK’.
“And then I was like, why am I feeling like that, weird. I love Demi so it was very awkward for me. Watching you two sit on the daybed, I was just like, ‘Oh…’.”
She adds: “I could be completely barking up the wrong tree. Do I need to say it?”
Luke M insists: “Yeah you need to say it.”
Shaughna declares: “I think I like you.”
Luke M admits: “I didn’t expect it… You’re dropping a bomb… have you thought this over the past few days?”
Shaughna says: “Weeks… Where is your head at?”
Luke M admits: “Scrambled now. Me and Demi got to know each other and got close, she’s getting to know Jamie as well which put me off a bit. I didn’t want to be in that position again to feel second best, I don’t want to be in a triangle…”
Love Island airs tonight at 9PM on ITV2.
