Love Island's Haris says Zara needs to 'chill the f**k out' amid recent rows

Love Island star Haris Namani has urged bombshell Zara Lackenby-Brown to "chill the f**k out" following recent drama in the South African villa.

Zara was the first female bombshell of the 2023 winter series when she went on a picturesque date with Ron Hall before entering the villa with a bang.

Despite her date with Ron, the 25-year-old's eyes soon turned to semi-professional footballer Tom Clare - himself a bombshell on the first evening.

He was coupled up with Olivia Hawkins after she picked him in the first recoupling but things turned sour between the two women during drinking games. Tensions between Zara and Olivia have continued ever since.

Haris, 21, and Anna-May Robey, 19, were both voted out of the villa by Australian bombshells Jessie Wynter and Aaron Waters earlier this week and they both appeared on a Love Island live chat on Instagram alongside David Salako, who was the first person to exit this year's series.

Speaking about their experiences on the popular ITV2 show, attention soon turned to Zara's behaviour and how their fellow Islanders felt about the model and property developer.

Haris said: "Zara started showing sides that people didn't want to see. I didn't have a problem with her. It was always the case with Zara, she wanted to know what people would talk to Tom about.

"I thought, 'it's been three/four days just chill the f**k out'. She wanted to be in control. Ron made her aware of that, you can't do that."

Zara's lively entrance into the Cape Town villa caught the attention of the viewers and ex-islanders and Haris admitted that she performed her role perfectly.

He added: "Saying that, Zara was a good bombshell, she came in and took Tom off Olivia."

Haris' comments came after he was snapped for the first time back in the UK following his dumping from the show.

The boxer was photographed making his way through Heathrow Airport alongside Anna-May and a chaperone.

Haris dressed in a white T-shirt and was seen pushing a luggage trolley with his official Love Island suitcase on and two other large black suitcases as he made his way through arrivals.

Along with the white top, he sported a pair of grey jogging bottoms along with a pair of white trainers for his trip back to the UK.
