Love Island's Olivia Hawkins has already had another clash with bombshell Zara Lackenby-Brown on Sunday night's instalment.
The ring-girl tried to clear the air with Zara, 25, after she stole her partner, footballer Tom Clare, in the recent recoupling. It comes after fans rumbled Olivia, 27, and Zara's 'secret' friendship before the villa after noticing the pair previously commented and liked each other's social media posts years before entering the competition.
Despite their alleged pre-villa friendship, the pair are not getting along well in South Africa after Zara branded Olivia the 'most two-faced' islander during Thursday night's episode.
New arrival Zara was dared to kiss the islander she feels is the most two-faced and she opted to plant a couple of pecks on Olivia's cheeks.
On Sunday night's episode, the contestants are still reeling after the recent recoupling as many had their love interests stolen away by other Islanders. After feeling some residual tension, Olivia interrupted new couple Zara and Tom to clear the air with the property developer.
Confronting Zara, the ring girl says: “I feel tension. I feel like you’ve come in here and come for me a bit.”
She continues: "Just hear me out, with the comment made that I'm two-faced and now going for the guy I'm coupled up with and then saying 'He's made his feelings very clear with me'". Zara chimes in: "That's how I feel though. That is truely how I feel.
"He's said that to me that 'I'm really into you'," as Olivia asks: "That he's more into you than me?"
Zara added that if Tom has told them both the same thing then perhaps it is Tom playing a game instead of being genuine with his feelings.
Defending herself, Zara says: "I just spoke to all the boys individually and I just vibed with Tom. Everyone's shocked by it. I'm shocked by it but I get how it comes across so you're valid for feeling like that."
Olivia retaliates: "It just seems a bit fake to me, if I'm being completely honest."
The 25-year-old suggested that Olivia is more reserved as she's never been in a relationship, and wasn't showing her affection towards Tom that he could take that as a sign she's not interested. Olivia retorts: "What does he expect? To act like a married couple in three days?"
Continuing, Olivia tells Zara that her comment at the re-coupling that Tom had made his feelings clear didn’t go unnoticed. But Zara says: “He’s made it quite clear, he’s quite affectionate from the get go, you can be a classy lady but some people take that as you’re not interested, he’s taken that as you’re not interested.”
Olivia responds: “I think that’s personal between me and him and I don’t really think that’s your business.”
She adds: "I feel like that gives me a clearer direction at least. If he's telling you that he's swaying more towards you and I'm having conversations with him where he's saying 'I really care about you'," while Zara exclaims: "I think he's just trying to be polite."
After the confrontation, Zara said in the beach hut: "Liv kind of came for me thinking I was coming for her. I think from me picking Tom, and not only that but taking him away from her. No one is in a married couple but I think she needs to know his head is more towards me right now."
Later in the episode, Olivia tells the girls she feels like she's been mugged off by Tom following her chat with Zara.
Viewers took to social media as the scenes aired to say their piece on the 'feud'. One user wrote: "Olivia is truly delusional and proving Zara’s two face opinion was right. #loveisland"
"Zara cleared Olivia when she said Tom was trying to be polite go girl #LoveIsland," penned another. A third agreed: "Olivia is contradicting herself. Didnt she want to be with harris so why the fuck is she feeling mugged off by Tom. #LOVEISLAND"
Another fan tweeted: "Zara totally unfazed by Olivia’s stupidity and not allowing herself to be intimidated #loveisland," meanwhile another wrote: "How is Olivia mad at Zara for coupling with Tom, when show stole Kai from Anna May and he ain’t even step up for her. #loveisland"
