After friend-zoning Conor, Shakira pulled him over for a chat and said: ‘I really thought I was going to lose you [as a friend].’
‘You are still my best friend in here’, Conor replied.
It was Conor’s lucky day during yesterday’s episode as he received a text to go on a date with Megan after she made a shock return to the villa.
Megan shocked viewers by making a dramatic entrance and shared her hopes to rekindle her romance with Conor.
Elsewhere in the episode, Harry Cooksley and Helena Ford reportedly split in a shocking twist after finally making things exclusive.
The dramatic on-off couple reportedly went their separate ways after a row over Shakira.
The turn of events led to a huge row between Harry and Helena, resulting in the pair calling things off in another dramatic twist.
Harry and Shakira were previously coupled up but he dumped her after his ex Helena pursued him for weeks, with the pair getting their romance back on track.

After weeks of uncertainty and Harry turning his head, he then finally made things official with Helena in scenes which aired on Tuesday.
However, the relationship bliss wasn’t to last as Helena was left fuming just hours later when Harry asked his ex Shakira to hang out after leaving the villa.
While comforting Shakira after her failed romance with Conor, he cheekily told her: ‘I like talking to you… we haven’t talked to each other for ages.’
‘I really think it’s a good idea if we hang out on the outside,’ he then added in a remark which left viewers shocked.
Conor walked past and witnessed the scene, and was quick to tell Helena – who was left fuming after her and Harry finally closed things off.
She raged: ‘You don’t think she’s lost her head that me and Harry have gone exclusive?’
Harry has become known for his flirtatious antics, having entertained multiple bombshells, his ex Emma entering the villa, and Shakira during his time on the show.
