I was on Love Island and Olivia is bullying Tanyel – and using lads to stay on the show

LOVE Island star Zara Lackenby-Brown has opened up on her time in the villa and the drama that unfolded between her and Olivia Hawkins.

Discussing the brunette beauty, who she got into a love triangle with alongside Tom Clare, Zara clarified: “We were acquaintances through work.

“Whenever we crossed paths on film sets it was good vibes so I thought I would have a friendly face in there who would help me feel at ease – but how wrong I was.”

The stunning 25-year-old continued to say the tension between herself and Olivia “broke my heart.”

She added: “Every little thing I was doing in there she felt was a dig at her. I felt like I couldn't win with her - nothing I was doing was right.”

Zara was booted out of the villa recently, and she opened up on her co-stars Ron and Olivia “playing a game.”

Olivia has currently moved on to Kai, after failed romances with Tom and Spencer.

Sharing her views on Olivia’s dating tactics, Zara said: “What's interesting is I feel like Liv is kind of almost doing what she did to me to Tanyel now - which is odd.

“She made a comment when Spencer left about Tanyel moving on. Well, Liv what did you do when Harris left? You shifted your focus on Aaron and Tom, because you have to work with what you've got.

“I just don't get her motives behind a lot of things we left on good terms but I do sort of watch now and I think well, now Tanyel is kind of getting the brunt of it which isn’t fair.”

Olivia brands herself a “knockout” and has already been on TV before her Love Island fame.

Olivia is pals with a number of reality stars including Towie star Sam Faiers.

She has also stood in for Brassic star Michelle while shooting an ad for the actress’ Very campaign in 2017.

Olivia has already had several brushes with fame, starring in music videos for Craig David and DJ Tom Zanetti and has danced at Wembley with Charli XCX.

The stunner has previously said: "I did a film with Jason Statham and had a nice 10-minute convo about life.

"I've been a ring girl for KSI, I played a waitress in James Bond with Daniel Craig and I’ve also been a body double for Michelle Keegan and Emma Watson."
