Inside Love Island star Zara's plush London pad with recording studio and chandeliers

Love Island's Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown has been ruffling a few feathers since she set foot in the villa as a bombshell.

Before she hit our screens she spent her days modelling and working as a property developer - and she's even shared a sneak peak of her own home with fans.

The 25-year-old lives in a swanky London pad that comes with its own music studio in the hopes of launching a singing career.

Speaking about her love for the arts, she said ahead of the show: "I’ve always loved being on stage and performing, I did musical theatre and performing arts at university.

"I’m fully trained in ballet, tap and jazz and have singing qualifications which led me to get scouted as a model."

Zara, who has been butting heads with fellow Love Islander Olivia Hawkins, also revealed that she has "very high standards because of the industry I’m in".

Posing beside a microphone, Zara shared a selection of shots of her in her studio.

She wore an emerald green silk dress, adorned with red and white flowers and a lace up back.

Her hair was piled up on top of her head and cascaded down her back in lose waves, with a soft blonde balayage.

"Starting the year as i mean to go on exciting things to come," she wrote in the caption.

She also shared a quote which read: "You can literally feel when it's time to move into your life's next chapter."

The room was largely white shutters with a keyboard in the background.

As well as her music studio, she also gave fans a little insight into her bedroom.

Wearing a silky bralette and matching high-waisted mini skirt, she lifted one hand over her head as she posed.

Her walls were a mixture of cream floral wallpaper and dark purple paint, with a double bed in the middle of the room covered in scatter cushions.

A simplistic chandelier hung from the ceiling and from the looks of things, she likes to keep her possessions neat and tidy.

She wrote in the caption: "14th feb is a sexy reminder that i really am that b**** cos i stay loving on myself to infinity & beyond.

"ps: if you’re someone who is single & sad about it SUCK IT UP BUTTERCUP & start loving on yourself, as in the words of @rupaulofficial “if you can’t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else ?”

She wore a silky black wig which had been chopped into a bob cut, with blonde tips.

Another room in the house boasts light grey wardrobes and dark grey wood flooring, which appears to be a popular spot for selfie snapping.

Zara previously spoke about what she's looking for when it comes to love, adding that she'll bring "vibes and good energy" to the villa.

"It's been something that I’ve been thinking about for a long time. My love life is a bit shambolic so it would be nice to date in a different environment as whatever I’m doing at the minute isn’t working."

Ahead of her debut, she said: "I'm a massive hype girl, I'm very complimentary so I hope to keep the vibes up in the villa. I'll also bring spice, I'm a bit different and I don't think there's anyone in there that's like me so I reckon I'll keep things interesting."

Zara also keeps her followers glued to her page with plenty of sun-soaked holiday snaps.

As she welcomed in the new year, she posed on a dark green quad bike in a pair of white shorts and a crop top.

She covered her face with a pink scarf and added a pair of sunglasses for a touch of glam.

"this freeing feeling all 2023 ~ wishing everyone an abundance of good health, wealth, courage, compassion, joy, love & fearlessness," she added in the caption.

In another snap she kicked back in a hammock in Egypt, showing off her long legs.

She wore a black Tommy Hilfiger crop top and a flowing white skirt.

"life lately," she wrote.
