Love Island fans have rumbled the real reason for Zara and Olivia's rows - and it's something that happened before the villa.
The ITV2 show has been airing some explosive scenes as of late, especially between model Zara and actress Olivia. The pair have clashed over Zara calling Olivia two-faced but things got more explosive last night when Olivia decided to call Zara's partner Tom for a chat, leaving the model and dancer absolutely fuming over fears she was taking the footballer from her.
Now fans of the show are convinced they know exactly why the row has broken out - and are convinced it has something to do with the pair knowing each other in the past and ex-Islander Liberty Poole is convinced that's what's happened.
Zara and Olivia have been at odds for days, but their row turned even more intense yesterday when Zara fumed over Olivia's keenness to get to know Tom. When they returned from their chat, Zara asked: "What was that? I wondered what the conversation was about, the context?" before Olivia insisted it was private between the two of them.
When Zara continued to quiz Olivia about it, she savagely asked: "Are you married?" to which Zara defiantely replied: "I'm here to find someone and I see a future with him," as the row continued to brew.
Now Love Island's Liberty Poole has shared a theory about why the pair dislike each other so much.
In the Pop Off with Lewys Ball podcast, the former Islander revealed her theory: "So basically, I’ve seen that they knew each other before the villa. I also picked up on that Olivia said, ‘Ugh she had to kiss the guy I liked, she’s done it again.'
"So I was like, ‘Hang on, were you guys friends before and [Zara’s] got with a guy [Olivia liked], and that’s why you’re not mates anymore and there’s that tension already?' There’s an underlying story there that we don’t know yet ... I really think that they were friends and [Zara] got with a boy that [Olivia] used to date and that’s why she was like, ‘She’s done it again.'"
Comments on their Instagram posts prove that they both knew each other, and fans agree with Liberty that their feud runs deeper.
"I picked up on it too in the same moments where she was talking about the kiss. They just don't talk to each other like they just met if that makes sense... even IF it was just online," one fan penned online.
A second added: "Olivia must have lost a man to Zara before because never in the history of Love Island has anyone been this prematurely butt hurt… #LoveIsland," with a third writing: "whaaaat? olivia and zara knew each other before love island? and olivia said “she had to kiss my man AGAIN”. IM SORRY AGAIN? #loveisland #winterloveisland."
