Love Island's Zara stuns villa with claim she once kissed Olympic legend Usain Bolt

One Love Islander has some previous experience speed dating – she claims she once snogged Olympian Usain Bolt.

Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown, 25, first hinted she got with a "very famous athlete" during a game of Never Have I Ever on tonight's episode of the ITV2 dating show.

She went on to name Usain as the star she allegedly locked lips with, but shared no details as the conversation moved on faster than the World Record holder in a 100m sprint.

Usain has previously dated a Miss Jamaica Universe, as well as athletes and models, but he has since settled down with ­girlfriend Kasi Bennett, and they have three ­children together.

Olivia Hawkins, 27, also revealed she has dated "someone in the athletic field", while Lana Jenkins, 25, coughed to her fellow Islanders that she previously dated I'm A Celeb runner-up Owen Warner.

The news came as a "shock" to Ron Hall, who has his eye on her.

"Basically I'm competing with someone who's just come runner-up on a massive show and who's an actor and I work in finance," he groaned. "Yeah, erm, sick. This is great." Ron added: "I don’t really know what to think..."

Lana said before entering the villa that her "lockdown relationship" with Owen had ended amicably.
