Love Island's Zara savages Tom and Ron as she's dumped from villa

Love Island's Zara Lackenby-Brown was the latest islander to be given her marching orders from the South African villa, but she hasn't gone quietly.

The dancer and model failed to secure a male companion during the latest round of coupling up, leaving her single and sent home.

She had been hopeful of finding love in the luxury getaway, but she was the last girl standing on Wednesday as Tom was the last to pick and went for Ellie, who he shared a secret kiss with.

And in her exit chat she definitely provided the "sass and spice" she promised before appearing on the ITV2 show.

She revealed that her initial partner Ron had made her feel at ease and admitted she felt sparks flying. However, she hit out at his actions, saying: "Maybe he’s just got good chat?"

When asked if she thought there could have been something more blossom with Tom, she revealed he isn't her usual type but she had been "open minded".

"I did think there could be potential with Tom," she confessed. "He’d told me he’d been in a long-term relationship, so I already knew he was capable of being committed. The age difference was a bit of a barrier for me - girls mature faster than guys."

And she was certainly under the impression that the pair's decision to cool things off was for the best.

She added: "We weren’t ever actually on the same page. Like a flame, we burned quick, and it was just more physical attraction."

One islander she was keen to praise was Will, saying the farmer has "the best energy". Zara labelled him a "cherub" and said "the world needs more Wills".

Thursday's edition of the popular dating series also saw fans puzzled after Tanya and Shaq declared their love for each other despite only knowing one another for two weeks.

While fans have watched on as a number of couples have split up throughout the series already, things are going well between the two remaining couples Tanya and Shaq and Will and Jessie.

However, things stepped up a gear for Tanya and Shaq on Thursday as the pair cuddled up. During their embrace, Shaq said the three words to Tanya, who screamed in excitement and went all shy before saying it back. She later confirmed to her fellow Islanders she was "in love".

Love Island airs tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
