Zara McDermott has revealed the reason that all the bombshells on Love Island have exactly the same conversation when they enter the villa.
The 26-year-old starred on the fourth season of the hit ITV dating show back in 2018, when she entered the villa as a bombshell on day 10 before being partnered with Adam and dumped 10 days later.
Now, Zara is giving her 1.7 million followers an insight into how the show works behind the scenes, and explained why the bombshells all open with the same, very vague line of conversation.
As she tuned into the second episode of the Winter season, the first bombshell Tom arrived at the villa and she took to her Instagram stories to chat about it.
She began: “Night two on my own again! But Tom’s just come in the villa, and I’m loving how every single bombshell that ever comes in has the same chat.
“When they sit down with the opposite sex, they’re like ‘what’s your type’ or ‘I don’t really have a type, I’m just going to see who I vibe with.’”
However, Zara disclosed that bombshells actually have to keep everything about themselves hidden, so they intentionally don’t make meaningful conversation when they arrive.
She continued: “You always know as a bombshell, I was one, that you’ve got to keep your cards close to your chest, keep everyone sweating a bit, that’s always the bombshell game plan.”
Before she continued to watch the episode and got frustrated about the format of the contestants playing games together: “Games already, oh I’m all gamed out! I don’t want to play any games. I want them to do anything else but this!”
New host Maya Jama was missing from last night’s episode, but has been a firm favourite with fans since her debut on Monday night in a striking black cut out dress.
Even Zara showed her support for Maya as she shared a tweet that read ‘The Love Island bombshell this year’ alongside pictures of the host in some fierce outfits from the show, as she captioned it: “Truth.”
Love Island returns on Wednesday night at 9pm on ITVX and ITV2.
