Arguing Love Island contestants Olivia and Zara knew each other before villa

Love Island viewers have been doing some impressive social media stalking and discovered two of arguing islanders were already friends. Eagle-eyed fans have found 'evidence' that OG contestant Olivia Hawkins already knew bombshell Zara Lackenby-Brown before entering the villa.

The two may have a rocky relationship though as last night's episode of the ITV dating show saw them get into an argument over a game of beer pong dares. Not only did Zara kiss the boy Olivia is currently coupled up with but the newcomer also labelled her the most 'two faced'.

Fans are speculating if there was more to the fight though, considering the girls' history. One person suggested it might explain "why Olivia seemed overly offended at Zara calling her two faced".

Instagram comments show Olivia commenting on a photo posted by Zara 139 weeks ago saying: "Fave photo of you". Zara replied: "My babes" with a heart emoji.

On another photo Zara, 25, posted, Olivia commented: "Unreallllll" alongside a fire emoji. Zara replied to the 27-year-old saying: "Loving you".

The tweet by @rubynaldrett also shows Zara liking one of Olivia's selfies on the social media platform. The tweet said: "Why are zara and olivia pretending they don’t know eachother? this might explain why olivia seemed overly offended at zara calling her two faced #LoveIsland"

Fans have taken to social media to share their shock at the revelation as during the TV show, viewers have not been shown any indication that the pair were already friends. One person even accused them of being "industry plants" going for the "Ekin-Su effect".

"WHAT? Olivia and Zara knew eachother before love island #LoveIslandUK"

"Word on the street is Olivia and Zara has known each other for 3 years and their beef on the show is production. #LoveIsland"

"i swear both olivia and zara are industry plants which is why they’re both trying to stir drama, going for the ekin-su effect!"

"now THIS is some juicy tea olivia and zara already know eachother #LoveIsland"

"omg olivia and zara know eachother this is definitely a fake storyline"

"Oooo so a situation happened outside the villa or olivia must of acted like she didnt know her when zara came in... ok ok #loveisland"

"Zara and Olivia proper playing up to the cameras. Bringing the drama 4 days in yet they big each other up on the outside world on there insta pictures…odd. Aren’t they both actress?! #LoveIsland"

In last nights episode, during the game of racy dares, Zara was told: "Snog the islander you would couple up with if your current partner wasn't in the villa." After pointing out that she didn't have a current partner, she headed straight for previous bombshell Tom Clare, 23.

The footballer is coupled up with Olivia who looks noticeably annoyed at the encounter. It comes after Olivia chose him as the islander she "most wants to have sexy pillow talk with."
