It appears that Love Island stars Olivia Hawkins and Zara Lackenby-Brown knew each other before they entered the South African villa for the 2023 winter series.
The fiery duo has been dominating headlines in recent days after Zara, 25, brutally branded Olivia, 27, as the ‘most two-faced’ islander in a brutal game before going on to couple up with her man, Tom Clare.
And their drama isn’t showing any sign of slowing down anytime soon, as an explosive preview for Monday night’s episode revealed the pair have it out in a tense row on the day beds, before it all ends in tears.
Fans of the show are hella confused about Olivia and Zara’s beef given their supposed past and have gone as far as accusing them of playing up to the cameras.
Here’s everything you need to know about their supposed history from before Love Island.
