If there's one thing we don't need more of in the world, it's women dealing with injustice.

And yes, we know it's just Love Island, but we do not want Shaughna Phillips snapped up by just any old new bombshell, for them to think they can use her for the big win off the back of her popularity.



Firstly, Shaughna needs no man to be fabulous and secondly, she even has viewers calling for her to be allowed to win the show on her own.

But with the news that new guy Jamie Clayton has already entered the villa and taken Shaughna (as well as Demi) out on dates, people are worrying that new guy Jamie could be about to 'do a Greg,' if you will.

One said: "Is shaughna and jamie's situation going to be the same as amber and greg? 50 bags".

A second added: "Greg O'Shea came in late last year and won it, Jamie knows this, so he will be all LOVEY DOVEY all over Shaughna for 2 weeks hoping to win, if he does win, he will be off with the money. Don´t FALL for it. Still Luke M and Demi to win #loveisland".

A third continued: "It will be the same script as Amber and Greg..... Jamie will come in pick Shaughna, they'll 'connect' win the programme (undeservedly) take the 50K then break up!#LoveIsIand".

Of course, they are referring to what happened at the end of Love Island last year.

Amber Gill was happily coupled up with Michael Griffiths before the lads entered Casa Amor. She stayed faithful to him, but he strolled back in with one of the new ladies, Joanna Chimonides, to everyone's horror.

It was a gut-wrenching moment. It was then similarly devastating when we had to watch Shaughna see Callum Jones (who she was coupled up with) walk back in with Molly Smith, who he met in this year's Casa Amor.

But last year, after Amber was burned by Michael, Greg O'Shea then entered the villa and sparks flew between the pair. They went on to win Love Island and split the £50k prize, but he'd only been in the villa just over two weeks - when the whole series was eight weeks long.

Basically, it was a pretty easy pay-out for him.

Naturally, when the pair took the top spot, many viewers felt she had been his meal ticket to the prize money.

And retrospectively, when he dumped her just five weeks later (reportedly by text) people were quick to accuse him of using her.

One said on social media: "So disgusting to think Greg literally only used Amber as a ticket to the final and £25k. The whole of UK is gonna drag this chap through the mud. just watch x #LoveIsland".

A second said: "We voted for Amber. Cos we all like her. Pity she was used, guess Greg fooled us all [...]"

A third echoed their sentiments: "GREG USED AMBER FOR A CHECK! RUN HERRRR HER MONEY BITCHHHH #loveisland".

It's something that Amber clearly agrees with too, as just days ago she actually posted on TikTok a snap of herself on holiday that read: "The first solo winner of Love Island". BURN.

If that isn't throwing shade we don't know what is.

Of course, given that it's early days for Jamie in the villa, we can't yet be sure whether her intentions are true.

But it certainly sounds like Shaughna should keep her wits about her...
