Love Island fight between Zara and Olivia 'not about Tom' says expert

The arguing amongst Love Island contestants has well and truly started - mostly between Zara and Olivia.

They've been at each others throats for the past few nights as they battle it out for footballer Tom, but it appears that might not actually be the reason for bickering.

On Sunday night's ITV2 programme, Olivia was reduced to tears and stormed off after a row with Zara. But according to a body language expert their situation is more personal and nothing to do with the boys.

Speaking to Paddy Power Bingo, Judi James said: "Was the big fight between Zara and Olivia another fake? They’re pretending it’s about Tom, but it looks and sounds a lot more personal than that.

"Zara does ‘aggressive arousal’ really well. Her entire facial expression changed as she watched Olivia pull Tom for a chat and her words accelerated to warp speed.

"Her hair-flicking is like a cat swishing its tail when it gets angry and her spiked fingers and staccato movements, plus a full pucker of the lips. She even role-played her anger on Lana, who tried to intervene.

"Olivia is queen of the wind-up. She’d snaffled newbie Jessie previously and her body language game-plan was powerful. Olivia uses a lot of facial cut-offs, bringing her hands up to her face to conceal parts of it as she talks.

"By patting Jessie’s leg at the start of the chat she registered collusion and by the end of their talk Jessie was also mirroring the hand-covering-face gesture.

Tonight on Love Island, the villa is rocked by a shock text and the Islanders are forced to gather around the fire pit.

And Haris is dumped from the house after a video emerged of him involved in a street fight.

Love Island returns to ITV2 and ITVX tonight at 9pm
