Love Island fans couldn’t help but laugh at Haris Namani after he told Shaq Muhammad ‘don’t dad me’ during Friday night’s episode.
The 21-year-old TV salesman is the youngest boy in the villa and the second youngest islander, behind Anna-May, 20.
But plenty of viewers said Haris ‘showed his age’ during Friday’s episode as he hit out at Shaq.
Shade: Love Island fans couldn’t help but laugh at Haris Namani after he told Shaq Muhammad ‘don’t dad me’ during Friday night’s episode
The altercation occurred after Shaq suggested Haris was ‘immature’ after a fallout during Thursday’s episode.
Speaking to Shaq, 24, in the garden, Haris, said: ‘The only thing that got to me is to call me a s**t stirrer, that’s a big thing.’
The airport security staff member explained to Haris how he was feeling about the situation and whether he’s happy to put it to bed – pointing out that Haris’ behaviour was a result of his immaturity.
Haris then responded: ‘Nah don’t dad bro. I feel like you’re trying to dad me’.
Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: ‘”Don’t dad me bro” Haris babes your age is showing you sound like a Year 8’.
Another commented: ‘”Don’t try to ‘dad’ me”. I’m screaming’.
‘Lol don’t try dad me. Na what was this convo’, another viewer said.
One Love Island fan pointed out that Haris was proving Shaq’s point about him being immature.
They wrote: ‘Haris fr proved Shaq’s point about being immature with the “don’t dad me”, it’s called constructive criticism and coming to an understanding, not belittling or talking down to you’.
Love Island descended into chaos on Thursday night as a huge fight erupted between Haris and Shaq following the beer pong game.
The two islanders had to be held apart by the other boys as they almost came to blows in a tense stand-off as they boys had a debrief about the earlier challenge.
The drama kicked off as Haris commented on new bombshell David’s steamy kiss with Shaq’s partner Tanya, causing Shaq to brand the TV salesman a ‘s**t stirrer’.
Newcomer David had earlier been dared to kiss the islander he fancies the most for 30 seconds, and after flirting up a storm with Tanya, it was inevitable that he was going to pick her – much to Shaq’s chagrin.
And as the boys sat down later to discuss the events of the game, Haris asked David what he made of the kiss, causing Shaq to accuse him to trying to cause trouble.
Eek! The airport security staff member explained to Haris how he’s feeling about the situation and whether he’s happy to put it to bed
The two then begin arguing and throwing insults at each other, with things becoming more and more heated.
Haris was heard telling the airport security officer to ‘Shut the f**k up’, to which Shaq angrily responded: ‘You shut the f**k up you f**king p****’
Haris then ordered Shaq not to speak to him like that, with Shag fuming: ‘I’ll speak to you however I want!’
The other boys were then forced to then step in and stop things from escalating, with Haris and Shaq dragged to separate parts of the villa to keep them apart.

The girls, who were having their own chats elsewhere, watched on in shock as things kicked off among the lads.
Taking to Twitter following the shock scenes, viewers were quick to share their thoughts on what went down.
One tweeted: ‘Haris knew he was wrong for that. If he really cared to know he could have asked David alone. Showed he has no respect for Shaq. And low key Tanya is mugging Shaq off. I won’t blame him if he starts exploring his options.’
Rant: Haris was heard telling the airport security officer to ‘Shut the f**k up’, to which Shaq angrily responded: ‘You shut the f**k up you f**king p****’
Uh oh: The other boys were then forced to then step in and stop things from escalating, with Haris and Shaq dragged to separate parts of the villa to keep them apart
While another commented: ‘Haris wanted a reaction from shaq.’
‘So Haris purposely asked a question that would trigger Shaq and he also told Shaq to shut the f up first,’ wrote a third.
‘That fight between shaq and haris was so random but I’m here for it,’ shared a fourth fan.
With another adding: ‘I don’t believe this tension between Haris and Shaq came out of nowhere. They’re editing out the good stuff.’
