The right fit for Zara

The former Islander has spoken in the past about why she knew Elliott was the right guy for her. She explained having gone through many moments in which men she met only wanted to get with her because they had seen her on TV before. She explained:

When I did just come out the villa and I was on nights out or at public appearances guys would be like 'Can I buy Zara from Love Island a drink?' But he just likes me for me which was so refreshing.

Before adding:

We're very happy together and have such a great time. He is absolutely amazing and he's definitely The One.
