Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown has called time on her romance with Tom Clare on 'Love Island'
The 23-year-old footballer and the 25-year-old model had been coupled up on the ITV2 reality show but went their separate ways in Sunday's (29.01.23) episode after he had suggested that Zara's rival Olivia Hawkins had the "best face" during a game of truth or dare.
Zara broke down in tears during the episode and told Tom to "move from me" after she was infuriated with his decisions during the game.
The pair agreed to end their romance and remain as friends after Zara claimed that she was giving him "mad ick".
When asked by fellow Islander Lana Jenkins if she was alright, Zara said: "No, I just can't be a****. All the girls picked Tom. Liv picked Tom like twice. He picked Liv's face. I'm not just some f****** booty to you.
"He's giving me mad ick. If you don't like me, move from me. I just don't understand it.
"One minute he's saying he's all for me then he wants to get to know other people? Why is he saying he likes her face?
"At this point, it's actually exhausting."
Speaking in the Beach Hut, Tom admitted that the break up will serve as a "wake up call" for him.
He said: "The initial attraction is there with me and Zara but, will it last?
"I don't want drama, I want someone to come home to and they're lifting me up and boosting me, it's probably been a bit of a wake up call for me tonight, i needed it."
'Love Island' continues tomorrow (30.01.22) at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX and can be seen in Ireland on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Player.
