Love Island's Zara and Olivia's pre villa rivalry FINALLY rumbled in throwback photos

Love Island fans have finally uncovered feuding Olivia Hawkins and Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown's connection outside the villa.

This series has seen the pair clash as Zara, 25, branded Olivia, 27, "two faced" in a game of beer pong before Zara recoupled with Tom Clare – who Olivia was paired up with.

Tension then boiled over as Zara seethed when Olivia pulled semi-professional footballer Tom, 23, for a chat.

An explosive argument saw Zara quiz Michelle Keegan body double Olivia on her conversation with Tom.

In the moment, Olivia told Zara: "I see you're playing a game," and the video ends as Zara responds: "Playing a game how, bruv?"

Later, Zara fumed: "I'm here for myself. You think I flew 11 hours from England to p**s you off? Get over yourself Liv, get over yourself."

The following day the pair decided to put their differences aside and be civil.

As the bubbling feud was aired on the ITV2 dating show, fans have spotted that Zara and Olivia know one another outside the villa – with fans spotting the pair have left comments under one another's Instagram posts.

But, a solid connection between the pair hadn't been made... until now.

Love Island fans have turned into detectives as they dug through the internet to uncover that the pair had in fact appeared in the same music video together.

Towards the end of the video, Olivia is seen in a red two piece bikini sitting at the edge of the pool and posing for the camera.

As fans discovered the pair's appearance, they tweeted clips from the video and one wrote: "Ok so I guess it’s just a coincidence that Zara and Olivia were in the same music video? @LoveIsland producer’s this is a lil sloppy… with all the girls in London you picked friends? #loveisland".

Another added: "So zara and olivia were in a music video together?? #loveisland".

"Love Island's Zara and Olivia's past finally revealed! Dancers DID know each other before entering the villa as music video starring the duo surfaces #loveisland," another wrote.

It comes after dumped Islander David Salako revealed the pair's connection was discussed in the villa.

Speaking in a TikTok video shared on Tuesday night, 24-year-old David was asked: " "Did Olivia and Zara talk about that they knew each other outside the villa?"

He then explained: "Yeah, this was something that was discussed in the villa so...."

"They told everyone - I think Zara told everyone she knew Liv and Liv confirmed."
