New Love Island bombshell Zara has worked with some MAJOR music stars
Quite the CV! 👏
We may only be two days into the brand new series of Love Island, but it looks like bosses aren't going to be shy in throwing bombshells in to create drama! After footballer Tom Clare entered the stunning South African villa on night one, tonight's episode (Wednesday 18th January), will see the arrival of Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown and David Salako.
Who is Zara on Love Island?
Zara is a 25-year-old model and property developer from London who entered the Love Island villa on Tuesday 17th January.
As well as her impressive job in property developing, Zara is also fully trained in ballet, tap and jazz having studied musical theatre and performing arts at university. She's also got a number of singing qualifications.
As if this wasn't impressive enough, she's appeared in music videos for a number of UK and global artists such as Aitch, Hardy Caprio, Headie One and Tione Wayne!
Speaking about why she signed up for Love Island, Zara admitted to bosses: "It’s been something that I’ve been thinking about for a long time. My love life is a bit shambolic so it would be nice to date in a different environment as whatever I’m doing at the minute isn’t working."
Going on to reveal why she thinks she is single, she added: "I have very high standards because of the industry I’m in but also because of my family.
"My parents have a great relationship, I’ve got an amazing mother and father and I know what works in a relationship."
Despite it still being early days with this year's couples, Zara will be entering the villa as a bombshell alongside new boy David, with the pair set to get to know the original Islanders ahead of the first recoupling at the weekend.
However, it sounds like Zara will be staying away of the any 'players' admitting they give her the ick.
She said: "Players and if someone’s boring and doesn’t have any aspirations or ambition. Also guys that aren’t into their fitness and health."

Speaking about what she thinks she will bring to the villa, Zara told bosses: "Sass, vibes and good energy. I’m a massive hype girl, I’m very complimentary so I hope to keep the vibes up in the Villa. I’ll also bring spice, I’m a bit different and I don’t think there’s anyone in there that's like me so I reckon I’ll keep things interesting."
Viewers will get to see Zara enter the villa on tonight's show.
Love Island continues every night at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
