She is a very strong woman who knows her own mind – she can handle the drama.

We understand people’s concerns when they see she is visibly upset. We know the show is highly edited and that Zara is free to leave at any time.

The unaired row

This comes after dumped Islander Haris Namani revealed that Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown also had a row with Tanyel Revan. The 21-year-old TV salesman – who was recently booted from the villaconfirmed the bust-up on a TikTok live.

Mirror reported that fans were left seemingly baffled as there was no hint of the argument anywhere yet. Haris revealed:

Tanyel just had an argument with Zara that I didn't wanna see or hear. So I told her to go upstairs.

On which one fan commented:

We didn't see anything between them? What happened?!

Meanwhile, Haris added:

Zara started showing sides that people didn't want to see. I didn't have a problem with her.
It was always the case with Zara, she wanted to know what people would talk to Tom about, I'm like, 'it's been 3/4 days just chill the f**k out'.
She wanted to be in control. Ron made her aware of that, you can't do that.
