Love Island fans work out Zachariah Noble's 'crush' - and it's not Kady McDermott

Fans have a theory!

Author: Charlotte RoszkoPublished 28th Jun 2023

Eagle-eyed Love Island fans have taken to Twitter to share their theory that Zachariah Noble has developed feelings for someone in the villa. The 25-year-old personal trainer and basketball player was chosen by returning Islander Kady McDermott, in a dramatic recoupling which saw his former flame Molly Marsh be dumped from the island.

Zach later took Kady to the terrace in the hope of sharing a cheeky kiss, but his advances were rejected as she declared it was 'too soon'. However, some fans have speculated that he may have eyes for Whitney Adebayo instead, after the pair enjoyed a passionate kiss during the heart rate challenge.

Many fans have taken to Twitter after observing the chemistry between the pair. One person said: 'There's something between Whitney and Zach. I need them to pursue it.'

Another viewer wrote: 'If Kady wasn't distracting him, Zach would be ON Whitney right now.' Someone else added: 'I need Zach and Whitney to REALISE.'

One Twitter user said: 'The tension between Zach and Whitney is real.' Another fan added: 'So when are Zach and Whitney gonna talk about that kiss.' (sic)

This isn't the only theory fans have on the go, with many viewers predicting that Molly Marsh will make a reappearance to the show for Casa Amor. Winter Love Island star Olivia Hawkins has revealed that she also believes that we haven't seen the last of Molly just yet.

During last night's (27th June) episode, Mehdi Edno and Mal Nichol were dumped from the villa. Mal had been getting to know Sammy Root, whilst Mehdi had been coupled up with Whitney.

Love Island continues at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
