It was obvious that Love Island stars took sides in one triangle. Most of the cast sided with Olivia Hawkins over Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown. Zara responds to the reality TV show stars calling her “fiery” and more.
Anna-May Robey and Haris Namani call Zara ‘spicy’ after ‘Love Island’
Zara came in as a bombshell and instantly connected with Tom Clare. However, that connection was threatened by Olivia, who also showed interest in him. So the question of who Tom would choose crossed fans’ minds.
“Tom said, ‘That’s gonna put me off,’” Haris Namani told Will Njobv. “Because Tom is so chill. Like their relationship is crazy because Zara is fiery, spicy. Like she brings energy.”
“Completely opposite, I think,” Anna-May Robey claimed. “But I think she might’ve scared him off a little bit though, Tom.”
“She definitely did,” Haris responded. “Tom said with the boys, like, ‘I think...

Americans had our fair share of love triangles on our version of Love Island USA. Who could forget Cashay Proudfoot, Trina Njoroge, and Melvin “Cinco” Holland Jr.? But the UK’s version is back, bringing us a new one.
Tom was the first bombshell of the season. He coupled up with Olivia, who was in a friendship couple with Will Young. So the ring girl was thrilled about the change.

Love Island star Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown has claimed an argument between her and Tom Clare that left her in tears “weirdly” wasn’t aired.
Entering the villa as a bombshell contestant, Zara grew close with footballer Tom Clare. However, she grew upset following a game in which Tom was asked to make his dream girlfriend out of three islanders.
Tom chose Olivia Hawkins for her face, Zara for her body and Lana for her personality. This prompted an argument between the pair, with Zara later being dumped from the villa.
However, in a new interview, Zara has claimed that she and Tom had already had a bust-up before the challenge.
“Me and Tom had an amazing day – it was probably the best day we had together in the villa,” she told Grazia. “We got ready for the evening and me and the girls were sitting by the firepit. Then Tom come storming over like,...

Season nine of Love Island is well underway, and the Islanders are nicely settled in their swanky South African villa.
For only the second time, this season is taking place during winter – and Maya Jama has taken the reins as host.
However, the Islanders better not get too comfortable, as new contestants are always ready and waiting to disrupt proceedings and switch up the dynamics of settled couples.
Entering the villa on Wednesday (1 February) is 28-year-old Jordan Odofin, from London.
But who is he?
What are Jordan’s vital statistics?
Jordan is 28 years old and works as a senior Hr advisor. A Londoner, Jordan has already noted that he’ll bring his “London swagger” to the villa, and pointed out that not many other men in the villa hail from the nation’s capital city.
He added: “I’m 6’5 so I’m tall and I’ve got a good physique.

Pedro Pascal has spoken about the one major rule from HBO he broke before filming The Last of Us.
The Mandalorian actor will star opposite Bella Ramsey in the channel’s big-budget adaptation of the popular video game, which is widely considered one of the best video games of all time.
The series is set in a post-apocalyptic future where zombie-like predators roam the US.
In a new interview, Pascal confessed that while he’d been told not to play The Last of Us before filming began, he decided to give it a go anyway.
“I hadn’t heard of the game,” he told Wired. “Their instruction was: Don’t play the game. I ignored them.
“I tried to play the game, and I was very, very bad at it,” Pascal continued, adding: “But my nephew was fantastic.”
“It was important to me to play notes that were directly related...
