After Love Island UK's explosive episode 1 of season 12, fans are already furious. Maya Jama's shocking revelation that Toni may steal a partner after the initial pairing caused a ruckus. Blu Chegini's choice of Alima was quickly stolen, not by Shakira as anticipated, but by Toni. Viewers shared concern that a popular favorite may be the next to depart, leaving Shakira and Alima in jeopardy.

In a daring turn of events, the girls chose their dates purely on the basis of anonymous profiles. Alima was initially paired with Blu. However, Toni barged in and claimed Blu for herself, leaving Alima without a mate. The fact that Alima has barely 24 hours to get back together and that her future in the villa is now in jeopardy has raised spectator anxiety to an all-new level.

Fans flooded social media as soon as the episode aired. While many reacted to the possibility of Alima leaving the villa in the next episode, a few think Shakira might be the one left alone.

An admirer of Love Island UK posted:

"Guys, what if Blu couples up with Shakira and Alima gets dumped ?! I swear we must riot 💔 #loveisland #loveislanduk"

Another fan posted on social media:

"If Alima gets kicked off tmw. I will personally raid that villa I’m not even joking. Do not p*ss me off. #LoveIslandUK"
"Alima better be still in the villa after tomorrow’s episode istg #LoveIslandUK," a tweet read.

More fans of Love Island UK shared their opinion on the bombshell twist dropped in the premiere episode of season 12.

A netizen commented:

"I’m worried for Alima with that twist at the end. Her & Blu already know they aren’t each other’s type & I don’t see it going anywhere so Shakira could take him. I just want Alima to stay longer. Also that’s pretty unfair to put all that on Shakira. #LoveIslandUK"
"If Alima goes tommorow, I’ll be watching the rest of the season looking like this #loveislanduk #loveisland," an X user commented.

Alima left alone after the twist in Love Island UK Season 12 Episode 1

From the very beginning of the explosive Love Island UK Season 12 Episode 1, Alima's relationship struck a big roadblock. Alima boldly selected Blu after the girls' first pairing was based only on the bios of their dating profiles. But everything changed later that night when bombshell Toni stormed into the villa.

Anxiety regarding Alima's position swiftly erupted on social media. Viewers warned that one action from Blu might spell disaster for her, with some even threatening to notify Ofcom if she is unfairly dumped in appalling circumstances. Alima's fate is currently one of the most talked-about plotlines to monitor.
