American Toni – short for Antonia – had stolen Ben from Shakira moments earlier after making her shock entrance.
Sitting down with Toni, Ben praised her for the savage move as he said Shakira “needed to be humbled”.
“I like it because it’s humbled Shakira. She needed that,” he told Toni.
Fans on the show were horrified by taxi driver Ben’s shock remark about the 22-year-old model.
Venting on X, formerly known as Twitter, one viewer raged: “Shakira needed to be humbled????? on day one?!! get Ben OUT OF THIS VILLA!”
Another fumed: “Ben saying Shakira needed to be humbled and he’s known her for three hours, he’s a weirdo he needs to leave already.”
A third added: “It humbled Shakira. She needed that.’ Put Ben in the bin pls.”
A fourth blasted: “I like it it humbled shakira she needed that” sorry?? What? Get him off my screen what a bizarre thing to say.”
And someone else agreed: “What did Ben mean by Shakria needed humbled? Its not even been 24 hours. get this p**** out.”
As a result of Toni’s arrival in the villa, Sophie Lee was savagely dumped from Love Island on Tuesday night.
Just 24 hours after she had arrived, 29-year-old Sophie was made to repack her bags and leave the villa.
Ben, 30, had originally been coupled up with Shakira but was stolen from her by Toni when she walked in.
Shakira was given one day to find a connection with another guy otherwise she would have been dumped from the island.
Unfortunately for Sophie, the brunette managed to turn Harry Cooksley‘s head and picked him to recouple with.
Her decision left Sophie single and she was sent home.

Shakira needed a pep talk from Love Island host Maya Jama before telling the group that she wanted to recouple with the footballer.
As she was about to make her decision known, Shakira turned away from the fire pit and her voice cracked.
She whispered to Maya: “So let me just get this straight, whoever I pick, that girl gets dumped?”
Maya replied: “Yeah.”
Shakira whispered: “For f***’s sake. I still don’t know which one I’m picking.”

Maya advised Shakira to go with the guy who she was most compatible with, adding: “You don’t want to regret anything later.”
Sophie, a former fire breather and dancer who was left scarred for life following a terrifying accident, has since broken her silence on her early exit.
