Love Island Zara's brother reveals truth about 'friendship' with Olivia before show

Zara Lackenby-Brown’s brother has revealed the truth behind the Love Island star’s friendship with Olivia Hawkins.

Speaking to host Maya Jama on Love Island Aftersun, Zara’s brother Alex confirmed that the pair knew each other but were “just acquaintances” rather than friends.

“So they have been on set together for a music video, but as people do on social media they exchange messages, big each other up, that sort of thing,” he said.

“But no, they didn’t actually know each other before hand. Everything that has unfolded has been on TV,” Alex confirmed.

The rumours of Zara and Olivia knowing each other outside of the villa started when the girls began bickering over bombshell Tom Clare, becoming embroiled in a competitive love triangle.

However, fans noticed their “beef” seemed a lot more personal and backed up by the supposed history the girls shared.

Fans soon found that they regularly commented on each other’s posts long before starring on the show and, having pieced together what each girl said during a Never Have I Ever challenge, could have dated the same person.

Some fans also found the video that both Zara and Olivia was in, further proving the girls must have known each other before entering the South African villa.

Upon being dumped from the island, bombshell David Salako told his 16,000 TikTok followers that the girls confirmed they knew one another in an unseen clip.

A follower sent in the question which read: “Did Olivia and Zara talk about how they knew each other outside of the villa?”

“Yep, this is something that was discussed in the villa,” the 24-year-old revealed. “So they told everyone.”

“I think Zara told everyone that she knew Liv and Liv confirmed,” David added.

As Zara and Olivia continue to ‘fight’ over Tom, new bombshell Ellie Spence shared a sneaky kiss with the Love Island lothario which is due to cause even more drama in the villa.
