Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown of Love Island revealed a villa secret when she said a pair broke up off camera.
The Winter 2023 Islander reported that the pair in question split up on an unfilmed “off day” for the Islanders.
Producers had no choice but to “step in” and request that they repeat the process, but this time on camera.
Zara claimed that this was requested in order to accommodate ITV viewers at home.
She said: “Yeah, we only talk about home life and trivial things off camera, and they now segregate the males and girls, because allegedly a couple once got engaged on one of the ‘off days’.
Yes, reportedly they had to reenact everything on video the next day so that viewers at home could comprehend what was happening.
“At least they could return with a little more vigour and consider the previous conversations’ unfinished business.
It was allegedly one of the first in the series; it wasn’t from my series, but yes.
Additionally, Zara revealed an altercation between her and Tom Clare that happened in the ITV villa off-camera.
She claimed that it was brought on by his “jealousy” when she spoke with Shaq and it ruffled his feathers.
Tom and I had a disagreement, according to Zara.
He said that I was talking to Shaq in an effort to make him envious. But because he was acting so enviously towards me, it only served to confirm to me how much he did like me.
“They didn’t air it, but I didn’t understand why because it provided a wealth of background information regarding why we began to sputter.
“Me and him were having such a nice time all day that we discussed travelling to Dubai together… Many folks also didn’t comprehend why we abruptly stopped speaking.
But after that, I was so sick of it that the males I communicate with stopped speaking to me in that way.
