Love Island viewers 'switch off' as they say they're 'bored' by Olivia and Zara drama

Viewers say they're "bored" of ITV2 dating show Love Island, as Islanders Zara Lackenby-Brown and Olivia Hawkins continue to row. During Friday's, January 27 episode, tensions were high between the pair after Olivia was dared to snog the Islanders she thought were most attracted to her.

The 27-year-old chose Tom Clare, who is coupled up with Zara, and current partner Spencer Wilks. Olivia and Zara have been rowing about the Macclesfield FC footballer for days. Earlier in the week, Zara and Olivia’s feud reached boiling point after the latter pulled Tom for a chat and refused to divulge the details.

The explosive moments, which aired on Monday, January 23, culminated with Olivia telling Zara: "I see you're playing a game," as Zara responded: "Playing a game how, bruv?" I'm here for myself. You think I flew 11 hours from England to p*** you off? Get over yourself Liv, get over yourself."

The next day, the pair appeared to clear things up. Olivia said: "Last night things got a bit out of hand, again. But I just want to say, I'm really not here for drama. I just want to sweep it under the carpet." She added: "Even though we've had our differences I still do think you're a great girl. Just agree to disagree." Zara told her: "I don't think either of us want this, it's not nice." She went on: "From my side it's genuinely good too, I want us to have a good time in here."

Despite seemingly making up, Zara and Olivia were at odds once again after a game of dares in Friday's episode. After Olivia snogged Tom, Zara then blew a kiss to Olivia after being asked to do so to the "least trustworthy" Islander. Although some viewers have invested in Zara and Olivia’s feud, others want it to stop.

"This Olivia and Zara beef is boring now man. Someone else needs to beef,” wrote one person on social media. While a second added: "Ugh the producers trying to instigate this Olivia and Zara beef are dragging it."

And another person wrote: "We're still going with the Olivia and Zara drama? Pleaseeee give it a rest omg," and a fourth commented: "I'm tired of the Olivia and Zara beef." Love Island airs on ITV2 at 9pm. For more TV and showbiz stories, subscribe to our newsletter here.
