Love Island fans slam Olivia for 'bullying' Tanyel as tensions flare in the villa

Love Island fans have slammed Olivia Hawkins for 'bullying' her rival Tanyel Revan.

The ring girl, 27, was at loggerheads with ex-Islander Zara Lackenby-Brown, 25 and now fans think she's got it in for hair stylist Tanyel, 26.

Sharing her concerns with her pal, Samie Elishi told Tanyel the actress was being rude about her behind her back.

"She made a couple of comments last night," she shared, adding: "Before you left the room, obviously we were joking around, saying like f***ing hell, bring someone in for me.

"That was funny but then Liv turned around and was like 'Spencer's not even out of the door and she's like already talking about a new guy coming in'".

Following the conversation, viewers were quick to criticise Olivia, saying they thought she was treating Tanyel unfairly.

One fan said: "I think Olivia just needs to be beefing with a girl at all times.

A second quipped: "Olivia is 27… let that sink in. Sis is nearly 30 yet she’s acting like she’s in secondary school."

Another viewer wrote: "I really can’t believe these girls are falling for Olivia’s very obvious mean girl impression. Like they’re really eating it up."

While a fourth said: "The girl is a bully and is very insecure. How is she the only girl to always drama with other girls?"

Others felt a feud was brewing between Olivia and Samie, with one fan taking to Twitter, saying: 'I love that Samie told Tanyel what Olivia said. I rate Samie, such a real one #LoveIsland."

However, other fans praised Olivia for 'carrying the Love Island season'.

The model appeared to give Tanyel the side-eye when the hairstylist chose to couple-up with PE teacher Kai, despite her rival making her intentions clear.

When asked how she felt about it by host Maya Jama, Olivia mused: "It is what it is."

But fans noticed the model's fuming look after Kai ditched her for the hairdresser.

"Looool Olivia ’s side eye #LoveIsland," one wrote, as another added: "Olivia is fuminggg, I know she regrets wearing them jean shorts #LoveIsland." A third shared: "Olivia is livid #LoveIsland."

Following her departure from the show, property developer Zara was asked about her clash with the model.

Speaking to the now axed Islander on After Sun, Maya brought up the beef between the pair and their friendship, saying: "Let's talk about you and Olivia, it was a clash, a clash of the titans to be honest. Everyone was screaming at their TVs," she said.

Zara then confirmed she did know Olivia before, as she revealed how they met.

"Definitely. I'm big on girl code so it wasn't nice having that clash with her at all," she admitted.

"I knew her sort in a work setting outside, and we've always been good vibes. To go in and clash like that was not nice."

•Love Island is on ITV on Monday at 9pm
