Love Island's Zara likened to Ekin-Su as viewers predict 'trouble' from new arrival

It took just moments of her appearing on screen for Love Island viewers to compare bombshell Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown to iconic former winner Ekin-Su, as many fans predict and hope she'll stir up some trouble in the villa.

The new arrivals have come thick and fast on the new series of Love Island, despite it still only being a few days old. First up was footballer Tom who made his entrance right at the end of Monday's launch episode, before 'stealing' Olivia from Will.

Things were shaken up further when two more newcomers, Zara and David, summoned two of the Islanders to go on a date outside the villa; with Zara asking Ron, who had been earmarked as a potential Love Island winner, having coupled up with Lana on day one. Sparks quickly flew between the pair, with Ron admitting to Zara that a few boxes 'were being kicked' and 'heads were swivelling,' before raving about her to the others lads on his return to the villa.

Not afraid to step on any toes, model, property manager and singer Zara openly told Lara she liked Ron and their date went well, as people watching at home raised concerns that his head was about to turn. And it doesn't look like it's Lana has something to worry about when it comes to Zara as, in a teaser for Thursday's show, she is seen flirting with Kai and telling Shaq she was in the villa to find a boyfriend.

Reacting to what they were seeing on screen and comparing her to now Dancing on Ice star Ekin-Su, one viewer tweeted: "Zara might actually be the next Ekin," with a second commenting: "Ekin came in third day .. hopefully Zara does the job that needs to be done."

Having branded Tuesday's Love Island as ne of the most boring in the show's history, fans are desperate for Zara to liven things up, with a third posting: "Oooo Zara's here to cause trouble," and another, thinking exactly the same thing, tweeting: "zara is gonna be trouble tomorrow… let the chaos begin!"
