'Yeah, this was something that was discussed': David spills the tea on Zara and Olivia's pre-love island connection

As reported by Capital FM, tensions ran high between Love Island contestants Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown and Olivia Hawkins after their explosive face-offs on the show. But what had fans clutching their pearls was the mystery surrounding their relationship before entering the villa. David Salako, who recently got the boot from the show, has finally shed light on the duo's pre-existing ties.

"Yeah, this was something that was discussed in the villa," David shared in a tell-all TikTok video, confirming that Olivia and Zara did, in fact, know each other before becoming TV rivals. The claim gives weight to internet sleuths who pointed out cryptic comments the two shared on each other's Instagram posts.

Though some fans speculated the feud might be scripted for drama, David put those rumors to rest. "I just wanna confirm that the beef with Zara and Olivia is 100% real," he asserted. This sets the stage for what could be one of Love Island's most compelling relationships, full of authentic animosity and unfolding storylines.

As for the root cause of the hostility, speculation is rife. While the airwaves are buzzing with theories, ranging from both having dated the same guy to simple jealousy, nothing has yet been confirmed. This scandal continues to have fans itching for more, wondering how this off-camera history will influence their on-screen relationship.

With new episodes of Love Island airing nightly at 9 p.m. on ITV2, fans can hardly wait to watch how the relationship between these pre-villa friends-turned-foes will unfold next. If one thing's for certain, this season of Love Island has added a complex layer to the world of reality TV romances.
