THE LOVE Island boys were at war tonight as Shaq stood up for Lana and held Ron accountable for his actions.
Two hunky bombshells entered the villa tonight and has already ruffled some feathers.
Headhunter Casey O'Gorman, 26, put a smile on Lana Jenkins' face after he picked her for his first date.
Around the firepit, Casey quizzed Ron on his relationship status with Lana.
Ron replied: "I needed you to come in for her to realise I'm the better man."
While Lana enjoyed her date with Casey, the lads had a debrief.
Will asked Ron: "How you feeling about that Lana situation?," to which he replied: "I'm not going to lie, I'm chilling."
But instead of being remotely worried about the possibility that Lana's head turning, Ron admitted that it was just a test and said she'd come back to him.
"If people don't believe me, this is what we needed, thank f***," he told the boys.
"She'll feel the way I felt when she's grafting another fella and getting to know them and she can't say anything about it because you're both in the same predicament."
Will responded: "But I think Lana's intentions will be a bit different going in."
Ron continued to defend himself and said that Lana needs to explore her options but insisted that she'll come running back to him when she finds out that "he's better".
Shaq stated: "When you were on a date, you and Lana were in a good place but the position you basically put yourself and put her now, she's now going to be a lot more open to Casey," to which Ron said: "She needs to be a bit more open, that was the whole point."
Clearly fed up about Ron's disregard towards Lana's feelings, Shaq bluntly asked: "Do you feel like you've done anything wrong in the Lana situation."
Ron confessed: "The one thing I did wrong was promise something I didn't do."
Serving up some home truths, Shaq said: "I'm just gonna give you the realness now, the way you've treated that girl is so out of order and it's a bit wrong.
"You've said one thing and done another.
"That girl has serious feelings for you and I feel like you've taken advantage of her because she's you know she's such a nice girl and was going to be there for you for the whole time."
He then slammed Ron for turning his head multiple times and then saying one thing to Lana, while doing the "complete opposite".
"I said that once, Ron interjected.
But Shaq was having none of it and continued: "No you haven't, I don't agree with how you treated her, I think what you said and what you do is two completely different things."
As the row stormed on, Shaq continued: You've said that Lana is your number one priority but you've treated that girl at any point but your number one priority.
"You've treated her like your safety net."
Will agreed and added: "It feels like you're waiting for someone to come in to be better than Lana."
A shocked Ron tried to explain and said: "All of you think I treat her as my safety net, bro, I know she could drop me like that."
Shaq then slammed him for "moving mad" because he knows Lana has no other options in the villa.
Putting him in his place, he concluded: "I can bet my life on it that you would not have moved the way you moved, because you know that Lana has a potential to go with other people. I'm being honest and a lot of people think it."
Love Island fans stormed Twitter to praise Shaq over the long-awaited takedown of Ron.
One wrote: "Ron, you're delusional. You've pushed Lana away too many times and she will look for something real with someone else. As usual, Shaq remains superior. Will too."
"Yes Shaq go at it boy! Tell Ron how it really is, another said.
A third echoed: "Yes Shaq, that needed to be said! He just handed Ron's a** to him! Haha the 'players' aren't laughing now eh!"
Someone else commented: "Yes Shaq put Ron in his f******* place. The only man in there speaking absolute facts."
