    Love Island’s Zara’s family respond to the dare game bullying storm


    Love Island star Zara Lackenby Brown’s family have responded to the dare game bullying storm that erupted after Friday night’s episode. 

    In the game, Zara became frustrated after her partner in the show, Tom Clare, revealed he thought she had the best body and her love rival Olivia Hawkins had the best face.

    Viewers took to Twitter questioning if Zara was being bullied by the rest of the cast after other islanders picked her as their top choice for unfavourable personality traits – from being the most incompatible with Tom to the most likely to backstab.

    Although the game is a regular fixture in the show, the segment sparked controversy as fans claimed Zara was being bullied – and now her family have spoken out on the furore.  

    Speaking to the Mirror, her brother Alex, 28, said: ‘She is a very strong woman who knows her own mind – she can handle the drama.’

    Zara’s mother Denise added: ‘We understand people’s concerns when they see she is visibly upset. We know the show is highly edited and that Zara is free to leave at any time.’

    She explained: ‘Zara went into the villa with her eyes wide open, and warned us that we’ll be seeing 24 hours condensed into 50 minutes each night.’

    Fans had questioned if Zara was being picked on by the cast after she was seen getting angry about Tom’s response to the dare game in a teaser clip for Sunday night’s show. 

     One wrote: ‘I honestly feel like the island are bullying Zara, like the environment is hostile’.

    Another viewer added: ‘That game of dares was so hard to watch, they’re actually bullying Zara at this point like? Everyone repeatedly going after her and laughing after every answer is so mean’. 

    A third chimed: ‘This isn’t cool they’re bullying Zara’.  

    The property developer, 25, had earlier branded ring girl Olivia the least trustworthy – deepening their rift as they compete for Tom’s affections, with a teaser for Sunday night’s show revealing the beauty was clearly upset. 

    When asked by Lana if she was ok, Zara said: ‘No, I just can’t be a***d. All the girls picked Tom. Liv picked Tom like twice. He picked Liv’s face. I’m not just some f*****g booty to you.’

    Despite her friends trying to reassure her, Zara became angrier and fumed over Tom, while things also look set to get tenser between her and Olivia. 

    She said: ‘I came down tonight for no drama and who gave me the drama? Him. If you don’t like me, move from me!’ 

    Furore: Fans took to Twitter after Friday night's episode to claim that Zara was being bullied by her fellow islanders and Tom and Olivia

    In Friday’s episode, Olivia also claimed her family would want her to couple up with Tom because he is ‘respectful’ and said her ‘mum would love him’, with Zara looking unimpressed as tensions continue to rise between the pair.

    ‘Tom has never really left my mind,’ Olivia admitted in the Beach Hut.

    It came after Olivia was asked who she is most attracted to during the game and kissed Tom and Spencer, further fuelling her rift with Zara.

    Tom also risked putting his romance with Zara on the rocks during the episode when he admitted he would like to get to know Ellie Spence despite being coupled-up with her.

    Semi-professional footballer Tom, 23, pulled law firm Business Development Executive Ellie, 23, for a chat after she entered the villa as a bombshell this week.

    As they chatted privately, Tom assured Ellie that he wanted to get to know her, insisting that he is not ‘exclusive’ with Zara.

    ‘I ain’t exclusive, do you know what I mean,’ he said when Ellie asked him how to felt about his current partner Zara and Ellie’s fellow newcomer Spencer Wilks, 24, talking.

    When Tom said he wasn’t ‘bothered’ by it, Ellie replied: ‘That’s a bit of a red flag.’

    But Tom hit back: ‘She’s not my girl, how much do you fancy me?’

    A flirty Ellie then referenced Zara’s row with Olivia, saying: ‘You’ve really surprised me, you’re so funny and we just get each other’s banter. I thought after the drama you’d be like no.’

    But Tom insisted that he is interested in getting to know her and told Ellie to be ‘honest’ about it if Zara asked her.

    Zara makes out like you are solid,’ Ellie said.

    To which Tom said: ‘I’m only in here once and you’re fit. I want to get to know you 100 per cent.’

    Tired: It comes after Love Island viewers took to Twitter to complain that they are 'bored' of the drama between Olivia Hawkins and Zara (pictured)

    Zara was then seen catching to Tanyel Revan, 26, fuming that she didn’t want any ‘mixed signals’ from him.

    ‘I don’t need mixed signals, I don’t need any doubt. I don’t think I should be allowing it in here,’ she said.

    But Tanyel told her that she had ‘nothing to worry about’ as she reassured her friend about the situation.
