Love Island's Ellie calls out 'mean girls' after Tanyel and Zara's swipe at Olivia

Winter Love Island may be over but the feuds between contestants continue, with bombshell Ellie Spence adding her penny's worth to the brewing drama between Tanyel Revan, Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown and Olivia Hawkins.

In a thinly veiled jibe at Tanyel, 26, and Zara, 25, Ellie said she doesn't "support mean girl behaviour", after the pair made a cryptic TikTok video appearing to take aim and Olivia.

In an Instagram Q&A about the Love Island reunion, Ellie, 25, was asked whether she spoke to Olivia, 27.

The Islander shared a photo of the pair with their arms around each other, and wrote: "Of course, I don't support mean girl behaviour or online hate in any capacity, we're all human and it's not ok to add fuel to a fire when someone is already going through it."

Actress and ring girl Olivia then shared Ellie's post on her own Instagram story.

Tanyel and Zara both fell out with Olvia after meeting her in the villa. Despite the pair seeming to patch things up with Olivia, the feud has well and truly reignited.

In a TikTok video on Tanyel's account, Tanyel and Zara stood close to one another with another blonde pal as they all mime along to a viral soundtrack, which says: "Bombastic side eye, criminal offensive side eye."

The video was captioned with an eye roll emoji.

And Olivia was quick to respond as she shared a clip of herself dressed in the glittering gold sequinned dress blowing a kiss to the camera.

Meanwhile, Mariah Carey's voice can be heard saying, "Why you so obsessed with me" in the background, from her song Obsessed.

It comes after Tanyel called out Olivia, Shaq Muhammad and Tanya Manhenga for comments they made before she left the Love Island villa during the Love Island reunion on Sunday.

The hair stylist was asked how she felt about leaving the villa, Tanyel said: "I've always said everything happens for a reason and when I left I was actually very happy to leave, I really missed my family – I've said that very clearly to everyone – and excited to go home.

"But I just feel like there was a few people that were in Jordan's ear and I think they influenced him and encouraged him to make the decision he made."

Jordan Odofin chose Ellie over Tanyel in a recoupling, leaving her to be dumped from the South Africa villa.

Love Island Reunion co-host Indiyah Polack then asked Tanyel: "Who are these people?"

"I'd say Olivia, Shaq and Tanya," Tanyel explained. "However, I think on Tanya's behalf I don't think she done it to be bad mind or anything, I just think she spoke on what she thought at the time.

"But, I just feel like I wish things were addressed to me and I feel like it could have been dealt with so much better," Tanyel said.
