Shaughna Phillips took a brutal swipe at her ex Callum Jones – after he rowed with his most recent ex Molly Smith on Wednesday’s episode of Love Island All Stars.
The media personality, 29, revealed on Instagram stories she’s been following the hotly-anticipated ITV series which sees veteran Islanders returning to the villa.
And she didn’t shy away from taking a side, after she declared a very unexpected alliance.
Taking to her stories, Shaughna reposted one of the many stunning shots on Molly’s social media grid, and captioned: ‘A queen,’ alongside the namesake emoji and a heart.
Shaughna joined the villa for the first Winter edition in 2020, where she enjoyed a steamy romance with the Mancunian hunk.

But the former democratic services officer was left single on day 26, Shaughna after Callum chose to couple up with Molly.
Callum, 27, and the model, 29, split up in September last year following a three-year relationship as they previously attempted to remain friends.
The former couple brought more drama to the South African villa on Wednesday when they had an explosive argument.
The bombshell arrival gave Callum a piece of her mind after he attempted to woo her by saying how beautiful she looked in the villa.
But Molly was angered by the flattery and accused her ex of never complimenting her during their three-year relationship.
Speculation has been rife as to whether the pair faked their break-up after Callum chose to couple-up with Molly when he was given the option to steal any one of the female Islanders from their partners.
But during the episode of the new series, Molly confronted Callum over his reluctance to commit to their long-term future, saying he lost interest in being with her as he was more interested in his career, while she was keen for them to buy a property together.
After Molly spoke about her past relationship with Callum in the villa, he said: ‘I feel like you’re making me look bad,’ to which Molly protested: ‘I don’t think I’m intentionally trying to. If it’s come across, it’s just factual evidence.’

She added: ‘But then to focus on your career if you thought you saw a future.’
He asked: ‘So you’re saying that’s the reason we split up?’, to which Molly replied: ‘That’s what you told me.’
Callum insisted: ‘No I didn’t.’
Looking angry, Molly asked: ‘Am I lying?’
Callum then asked her: ‘Was we arguing every day?’, to which Molly responded: ‘Yeah but then you told me that you needed to focus on your career.’
Callum again insisted: ‘No I didn’t. I’d never say that.’
Callum signed up to the All Stars series as a bombshell and was shocked to discover his former girlfriend had done the same, with Molly strutting through the villa doors moments after his arrival.
But Callum decided to couple up with Molly, sharing a bed with his ex again for the first time in months, rather than pursue a new romance.
Molly was riled after overhearing Callum tell some of his fellow Islanders that he only paired up with her out of ‘respect’ while she was looking for something more.
The reality star has already received interest from the likes of Chris Taylor, 33, who admitted he finds her the most attractive female in the villa.
But Callum has so far acted nonchalant towards Molly and the possibility of her dating someone else on the show.
During a game played with the entire cast, Molly took part in a three-way kiss with Chris and Luis Morrison-Derbyshire, 29, with little reaction from her ex.
Molly and Callum met on the first-ever winter edition of the ITV dating show in 2020, where they left before the finale.
The couple moved into a lavish four-bedroom house in Manchester that November after meeting on the show.
Former scaffolder Callum previously revealed that he can see himself marrying model Molly and potentially having children together.

In 2022, he gave a now-poignant interview in which he hit back at people who judged them, revealing they have ‘proved a few people wrong’ after recently celebrating their two year anniversary.
He said: ‘We are perfect. We’ve got two dogs so we’ve got a proper little family going, it’s lovely. There is other things we want to focus on at the minute but obviously in the future it’s definitely something we both want together…
‘We’ve just not really decided when. We’re just enjoying things that we’ve got at the minute and then family and marriage will eventually come into it.’

Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? This is the last year of my 20s so I want to go in the Villa and have some fun and hopefully meet someone that I can fall in love with. I’m lucky in the sense that I’ve got everything in my life that I could possibly wish for, apart from love.
If you had to pick your top Islanders from Series 1 to 10 to couple up with who would they be and why? Chris Taylor, he’s hilarious and the main thing I’m attracted to is a man who can make me laugh. What a fun guy and like I said, I’m looking for someone to TikTok with so I reckon he’d be game for that sort of stuff!

Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? I’m returning to the Love Island Villa because I did it eight years ago and what an opportunity I never thought I’d get again. I’m not very good at finding love but I had a ball the first time, so I’m going to have a ball again.
You got engaged on the show last time, do you think wedding bells could be on the cards again this time round? Absolutely not, not in the Villa no. Maybe when I get out, but I’d need to give it a bit of time.

Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? I’m 25, I have a house, a cat, a nice car – I have everything in life but a boyfriend, so why not give it as go.
You’ve been brave and honest in opening up about being conned by a former partner. How has this experience impacted the way in which you now approach dating?
I take that experience as a really positive reflection now. I look at it as something I had to go through to make me stronger and learn things in life for me to be able to learn what I want in my next partner.

You were in a long term relationship with Chloe Burrows, what do you think her reaction will be when she hears you are going into the Villa? I don’t know how she would take it. We will always have love for each other and I think she would wish me the best of luck, as I would certainly do the same.

How did the Barbie Movie come about? I was invited to an afterparty by Margot Robbie and then ended up at an after party with her. I started to panic and make conversation with her, just having really stupid chats. All I can assume is that my silly chat made an impression on Margot Robbie. 18 months later I got an email from Warner Brothers.

I’m a lot older and wiser, so I know what I am getting myself into. I don’t have a game plan at all – I am an open book so I will go with the flow and see what happens.
Anton Danyluk
AGE: 29

Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? For me it was a no brainer. I got the call and it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity and probably the best summer I have ever had in my life. Getting the chance to do it twice is going to be unbelievable.
Why do you think the Love Island Villa is the perfect place to find love?
I think this time with Love Island: All Stars, things will be different, as we all understand what it’s like to go on Love Island and the only thing now missing is finding a partner.
Mitchel Taylor
AGE: 27
SERIES: 10
Why are you returning to the Love Island villa? I think I went in with my heart on my sleeve the first time and got hurt and this time I am just going in to enjoy myself and if a connection happens, a connection happens.
In the summer you were given the name ‘Messy Mitch’, and a name that you have taken on as your own, can we expect more of the same in the series? I’ll be honest, I don’t really plan on being ‘Messy Mitch’. It just depends on what day of the week it is. I wear my emotions on my sleeve and what you see is what you get. I am very honest and very opinionated and I think that’s what people like me for.
