Love Island: Zara's Usain Bolt 'kiss' baffles viewers as they question her claim

Viewers of Love Island were left confused over one of the star's claims she once had a cheeky snog with Olympic legend Usain Bolt. During tonight's (January 23) episode on ITV2, some famous names got thrown around the firepit during a racy game of 'Never Have I Ever'.

During the game, Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown dropped quite a huge admission as she recalled a kiss with eight-time Olympic gold medallist Bolt. However, fans have been left puzzled by the comment, with some saying on Twitter that the timeline does not add up.

During the game, when a fellow islander asked the question "never have I ever dated or got with a celebrity?", Zara sipped her drink, leaving the rest of the islanders intrigued. Zara then went on to say: "I've got with an athlete before, a famous athlete, very famous."

When asked if anyone would reveal names, Zara was quick to name drop, "I've kissed Usain Bolt," she shared. The athletics icon's name was quickly trending on Twitter after the huge name drop.

Bolt is said to have been with his partner Kasi Bennett for more than eight years. They have twin boys named Thunder and Saint Leo, who join a family that also includes Bolt's one-year-old daughter Olympia Lightning.

People are now debating whether Zara is telling the truth or whether the well-known athlete has been unfaithful. One confused watcher said: "So Zara is 25 & Usain Bolt has been with his partner since 2014 so....the math is not mathing #LoveIsland."

Another puzzled viewer said: "No cause if Usain Bolt has been with kasi for 8 years than either Zara is lying or Mr Bolt has some explaining to do #LoveIsland."

Another fan took to Twitter to call Zara's bluff, tweeting: "Usain Bolt has been with his partner since 2014...Zara is 25. So we're saying she was 16 and he was 27?"

Someone else uncovered a picture of the Islander at Madame Tussauds next to the athlete and joked: "We’ve all kissed Usain Bolt… at Madame Tussauds."

During tonight's show, Lana also revealed that her most recent ex-boyfriend was the Hollyoaks star Owen Warner and Tanya revealed she had dated a footballer and rapper Not3s.
