Dumped Love Island contestant confirms Zara Lackenby-Brown and Olivia Hawkins’ friendship before villa-Meghna Amin-Entertainment – Metro

Love Island’s David Salako, who was the first to be dumped from the villa this series, has confirmed that Zara Lackenby-Brown and Olivia Hawkins do have some history.

In case you missed it, the girls have been involved in some pretty tense moments which has led to tears, arguments and drama over Tom Clare – who Zara is currently coupled up with.

Tensions have been brewing since Zara, 25, entered the villa as a bombshell, and not long later called Olivia, 27, the ‘most two-faced’ islander during a game.

While the other islanders were left in hysterics by the savage move, Olivia was clearly annoyed and revealed in the Beach Hut that she felt ‘humiliated’.

Not long later, things escalated as their argument reached a boiling point and Zara said to Olivia: ‘Why do you think I’m here? To p**s you off? I’m in here for myself. I’m here for myself. Do you think I’ve flown 11 hours from England to piss you off? Get over yourself Liv.’

Olivia was reduced to tears but the pair seemed to move past things in recent episodes, although, fans have still been left wondering what exactly is going on between the two, especially after spotting social media clues that hint they’ve known each other for years.

And now, David has cleared things up.

Answering questions on TikTok, David confirmed: ‘This is something that was discussed in the villa, they told everyone. I think Zara told everyone that she knew Liv, and Liv confirmed’.

He later continued: ‘Yeah, I just want to confirm that the beef between Zara and Olivia is 100% real’.

Fans were still pretty curious though, and continued asking about the tense friendship.

Explaining what went on in the villa, David said: ‘It all started really with a beer pong game, I think Zara called Liv ‘two-faced’, obviously at the time, Liv was coupled up with Tom and Zara was wanting to get to know Tom so that also got under Liv’s skin, and also in the beer-pong game, Zara kissed Tom.

‘So a combination of the three just sent Liv a bit south and ever since then there’s been tension between the two’.

The 24-year-old teased: ‘Obviously they’ve squashed it now, but if this triangle between Tom, Liv and Zara continues then yeah, it’s only going to result in more drama’.

He elsewhere echoed: ‘Look they’ve squashed the beef now but personally I think there’s going to be more to come’.

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
