Love Island’s\u00a0Helena Ford was left in tears after Shaq Muhammad<\/a> dumped her for Belle Hassan<\/a>, prompting fans to rally around her with messages of support.<\/p>\n

During Sunday night’s episode of the ITV<\/a> show, Shaq pulled Helena aside to end their romantic connection, admitting his feelings for Belle had grown stronger.<\/p>\n

He explained that he felt a deeper bond with Belle and wanted to close things off with Helena as he didnt see anything happening with them long term.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Following the awkward conversation, an upset Helena grabbed Samie Elishi<\/a> and Jess Harding<\/a> before heading to the dressing room.<\/p>\n

Confiding in her pals, she broke down, saying: ‘This always happens.’<\/p>\n

The moment mirrored Helena\u2019s first time on the show last year, when she found herself in a similar situation caught in a love triangle with Shakira<\/a> Khan and Harry Cooksley.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During Sunday night’s episode of the ITV show, Shaq pulled Helena aside to end their romantic connection, admitting his feelings for Belle had grown stronger<\/p>\n

Fans were quick to take to X to share their support for Helena, as they penned: ‘Going on love island again really wasn\u2019t the best decision for Helena\u2019s mental health. Feel so bad for her #LoveIslandAllStars’,<\/p>\n

‘Why am I feeling a tiny bit sorry for Helena’,<\/p>\n

‘Is it just me or is she sooo much more likeable this time round? Couldn\u2019t stand her last year but this time I\u2019m actually over here feeling bad for her #loveisland #LoveIslandAllStars’,<\/p>\n

‘The way I feel so bad for Helena omggg find someone for her NOW’,<\/p>\n

‘I want to give Helena a hug. My girl deserves someone’,<\/p>\n

‘Helena actually deserves better.’<\/p>\n

It comes days after Love Island viewers spotted clues that two of the ITV2 stars have been ‘acting’ – as they fume one Islanders is ‘playing it safe to win’.<\/p>\n

The couples finally appeared to be settling down after many of them were switched up earlier this week following a dramatic re-coupling after a series of bombshell entrances.<\/p>\n

Fans were quick to take to X to share their support for Helena<\/p>\n

But with the first dumping taking place on Thursday – the villa was once again rocked, causing chaos in the villa as AJ Bunker and Charlie Frederick were sent packing.<\/p>\n

And through all the chaos, fans of the ITV2 series believe they have spotted one Islander ‘playing safe to win’ by sticking within their couple and ‘acting’ he likes her.<\/p>\n

They’ve speculated that eventually, the singleton will dump the girl he’s currently coupled up with – with his eyes set on another All Stars beauty.<\/p>\n

Scott van-der-Sluis has been coupled up with Leanne Amaning have been coupled up since day three, when Scott chose Leanne after his bombshell entrance.<\/p>\n

The duo had been on screen few and far between until last night, when they were seen heading out on a romantic date – a picnic amongst the mountains.<\/p>\n

During the date, the couple opened up on how their romance was going, and admitted they were interested in going even further.<\/p>\n

Scott asked if Leanne would visit him in Wales, and was curious to know whether or not her family would approve of him as a partner.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, viewers weren’t convinced that Scott was being genuine – and hit out that they felt he was ‘acting’, suggesting he was ‘playing safe to win’, predicting he will later couple up with Millie Court.<\/p>\n

Viewers weren’t convinced that Scott was being genuine – and hit out that they felt he was ‘acting’ during the date shown on screen<\/p>\n

One penned on X, formerly Twitter, according to The Sun: ‘Is Scott into Leanne or is he acting?’ as another chimed in: ‘Scott is so PERFORMATIVE.’<\/p>\n

A third added: ‘Scott\u2019s playing it safe with Leanne, he really wants to win it this time, 4th times the charm, he doesn\u2019t like her at all he wants Millie & he\u2019ll go for her now she\u2019s been voted favourite girl, better chance of winning.’<\/p>\n

As a fourth penned: ‘Leanne should make the most of this, as Scott\u2019ll be off when he thinks the time is right to hook up with Millie and win the cheque.’<\/p>\n

‘The only reason I don\u2019t fully trust Scott is because he knows his main audience and what they want,’ someone else concluded.<\/p>\n
