ITV Love Island fans ask 'why' after spotting Zara's habit as past with Olivia is exposed

Love Island fans think they have spotted a habit from Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown as her partner Tom Clare survived being dumped from the villa. Wednesday night's trip to South Africa saw Australian bombshells Jessie Wynter and Aaron Waters tasked with deciding which of their Love Island contestants to send home.

Six islanders found themselves at risk of being dumped after the public were given the chance to vote for their favourite male and female participants. The vulnerable girls at risk of being dumped included Anna-May Robey, Tanya Manhenga and Tanyel Revan, while the boys at risk were Kai Fagan, Haris Namani, and Tom.

However, it was Haris Namani and Anna-May Robey who found themselves being dumped from the ITV2 dating show. This has now left Olivia Hawkins and Kai single ahead of the arrival of two new bombshells who shocked the contestants after making their arrival into the villa moments after learning of a surprise recoupling.

And the news could mean that Zara and Olivia are set to clash again as they both vie for the attention of semi-professional footballer Tom, who is currently coupled up with Zara and was at the centre of the pair's row earlier this week. But Love Island viewers couldn't help but notice that Zara was repeatedly cuddling with Tom after Olivia made her feelings for her man known again.

@thatsquig tweeted: "Zara is clinging onto Tom for dear life #loveisland." @seliyce_123 said: "I do feel like Zara is clinging onto Tom for dear life on purpose… like the gal but I think she’s doing too much for someone who is ‘open to get to know anyone’ ps also dont buy shaq at all #loveisland." @dubyrixon asked: "Why's zara always restraining him in some way #LoveIsland."

Fans were commenting on Zara and Tom (ITV)

@sylviesx posted: "It must be so exhausting for Zara to be so scared of losing Tom that she has to cling to him like a limpet all f*****g day! #loveisland." @quitscloud added: "I hope someone comes in for Olivia. Then Tom and Zara can f**k off and cling onto each other somewhere else. There are multiple dry couples in there and Zara and Tom are one of them. #LoveIsland."

It comes after fans demanded to know what had really gone on with Zara and Olivia after it came to light that they knew each other before entering the villa. Islander David, who was the first to be dumped from the show days after his arrival as a bombshell contestant, confirmed that the girls were already known to each other and now a video featuring the pair has surfaced.

It shows Olivia and Zara starring in music video alongside each other just a few years ago for Dapz's track Take You Away, which came out in 2019. The two dancers can both be seen enjoying the Hollywood Hills pool party in various shots.

Spotting the video and sharing it on Twitter, @Shiikane said: "Ok so I guess it’s just a coincidence that Zara and Olivia were in the same music video?" @Akm33_ also shared a clip and said: "Olivia and zara did infact know each other before the villa explains soo much . Zara ( beige bikini) and olivia ( pink bikini) in the same music video. #loveisland."
