Love Island's Zara makes shock U-turn as she tries to steal someone else's man

Love Island have given fans a first look at tonight's episode - as model Zara turns her head.

Zara initially seemed keen on Ron before moving onto Tom, but now it seems she wants to get to know Shaq. He is currently coupled up with Tanya after the pair decided they wanted to keep going with their budding romance, despite David's attempt to win her over.

And now it looks like Zara could prove a threat to Tanya, as she reveals to Shaq she's keen to get to know him.

Chatting with Shaq, she tells him: "I’ll be real with you, Tom is obviously ticking pretty much every box for me but it’s early still, I haven’t even spoken to you properly, it would be nice to explore," before Tanya comes over.

Giving her 'partner' a cup of tea, she disappears off again before Shaq admits to Zara that she's someone he would go for. "On the outside you would be someone that I would go for so I do want to explore that to see the vibes," he added.
The pair bond over both of them being from London, as Zara says: "Same with you, we are from the same area, that’s the thing, that would just work instantly," before Shaq returns to Tanya and confirms he wants to get to know Zara.

How will that affect their relationship going forward - and what will it mean for Zara and Tom?

The villa has been shrouded in drama as of late, with Haris Namani heading for the door tonight after being dumped from the show.

After Monday night's episode, viewers were given twenty minutes to vote for their favourite male and female islander. The results were then revealed to the contestants, with Haris becoming the latest star to leave, following David Salako out the door.

Since joining the show, Haris was initially interested in Anna-May before deciding they were better off as friends. Following that, he coupled up with Olivia and was keen to impress her.

Olivia, meanwhile, is involved in a huge spat with dancer Zara, with fans convinced their feud comes from something that happened way before they entered the villa as the pair knew one another before.

Sharing her theory, former Love Island star Liberty Poole said in the Pop Off with Lewys Ball podcast: "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.'"
