ITV Love Island fans 'waiting' as they work out reason for drama between Olivia and Zara

Love Island fans are not-so-patiently 'waiting' to find out what happened between Olivia Hawkins and Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown as they think they have 'worked out' the reason for the pair's drama over Tom Clare in the villa.

The conflict between 25-year-old Zara and 27-year-old Olivia began following a recoupling in Friday evening’s episode of the ITV2 sating show. And during Monday night's trip to South Africa, Olivia asked Tom if the pair could chat and admitted she felt "a bit disrespected" after discovering Tom and Zara had already shared a kiss befoe the recoupling took place.

As Olivia went to join Lana and Ron, who were sat with Zara, after their conversation, an increasingly frustrated Zara confronted Olivia, asking to hear what she and Tom had discussed. "What was that?… I just wondered what the conversation was about, the context?" model and property developer Zara quizzed.

To which ring girl and actress Olivia responded: “It was private.” As tensions grew and Zara pressed Olivia for further information, Olivia clapped back: "Are you married to him?" But Zara wasn't impressed and the argument peaked when Zara said to Olivia: “Why do you think I’m here? To p**s you off? I’m in here for myself. I’m here for myself.

"Do you think I’ve flown 11 hours from England to p**s you off? Get over yourself Liv." Olivia then walked off and got upset inside the villa while Zara went over to Tom. But despite the heated exchange, Olivia and Zara sat down the following day and appeared to reach a resolution.

While sat on the bean bags the girls reflected on the argument, with Olivia saying: “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 appeared to accept Olivia’s comments and replied: "I don’t think either of us want this, it’s not nice." But Love Island fans aren't convinced that all this is simply over Tom, who was the first bombshell of the brand new winter series last week, and many are speculating the pair could have history outside the villa after some eagle-eyed fans spotted they had previously shared exchanges on Instagram.

Love Island 2022 finalist Dami Hope also got involved, posting: "Zara and Liv need to be real and tell us the actual beef cause this deeper than a man you’ve only known a week #LoveIsland." @CcCc36002358 commented: "There is NO WAY Liv & Zara are beefing over Tom…I refuse to believe that! #loveisland." @folklorestan__ added: "No because whatever is going on between liv and Zara is much deeper than they’re letting on and I wanna know so bad #LoveIslandUK #LoveIsland."
