Winter Love Island hasn’t disappointed on the revelations so far, from Lana Jenkins’ famous ex-boyfriend, to Olivia Hawkins and Zara Lackenby-Brown supposedly knowing one another before entering the villa.
However, bombshell Zara dropped a bombshell of her own, sharing with the group that she once shared a smooch with a very famous athlete.
During a game of Never Have I Ever, the TV star took a sip when asked who had kissed a celebrity.
When quizzed on the identity of the mystery man, Zara confirmed that it was none other than Usain Bolt.
‘Erm so, I’ve gotten with an athlete before, famous athlete, very famous,’ she teased.
When probed by Olivia on whether she wanted to ‘say names,’ Zara responded: ‘I’ve kissed Usain Bolt.’

Naturally, the rest of the Islanders were shocked, but Ron Hall was keen to crack a joke.
‘Did he finish quick?’, he quipped, earning a laugh from the group.
Viewers have questions about Zara’s so-called kiss, though, especially given that Usain, 36, has been happily living with his longtime fiancee for a hot minute.

Kasi Bennett, a Jamaican model and social media influencer, has been with the now-retired sprinter for seven years.
The eight-time Olympic gold medallist also shares three children – daughter Olympia and twin sons, Saint and Thunder – with Kasi.
So, and given that Zara is 25-years-old, this begs the question… erm, when did this kiss happen?
‘Dunno why Zara name dropped a wholeee Usain Bolt like we won’t fact check’, one viewer tweeted.
‘So Zara is 25 & Usain Bolt has been with his partner since 2014 so….the math is not mathing’, wrote another.
‘If Usain Bolt has been with his partner since 2014 then he either cheated on her with Zara, kissed Zara when she was 16 and he was 27 or Zara is liar liar pants on fire’, penned another suspicious individual.
Zara wasn’t the only one dropping names during the game, though, as Lana had a secret of her own.

Confiding in Ron later on, she confessed that her ‘famous’ hook-up was with Owen Warner, Hollyoaks star and I’m A Celebrity 2022 finalist.
As you can imagine, Ron was stunned.
‘So basically I’m competing with someone who’s just come runner-up on a massive show and who’s an actor and I work in finance, yeah, erm, sick. This is great,’ he joked.
Love Island airs each night at 9pm on ITV2.
