We know, we know, Love Island 2023 is very much over (well, the winter version anyway) but that's not stopped the Islanders from breaking up, continuing their feud on TikTok and spilling the tea on the unaired scenes.

Now, Love Island finalists Tanya Manhenga and Shaq Muhammad have revealed that two Islanders had a huge fight that resulted in them getting separated in the villa.

And no, we're not talking about Shaq and Haris Namani's argument. Remember that? Feel like a lifetime ago, tbh.

It was actually between Tanya and Zara Lackenby-Brown. Turns out, there was more to Zara and Olivia Hawkins' feud after that "two faced" comment.

Speaking on her YouTube channel, Tanya explained, "There was actually so many things you didn't see. I had an argument with Zara that nobody saw. It never got aired. Me and Zara had an argument. She was like, 'I need to f--king speak to you.'

"The argument was because I had a conversation with Zara, she was venting about why she was upset that night with Olivia, and then she said, 'I'm upset with Olivia but I care about her.'

"And I said, 'Why did you pick her in the first place in the game' and she said, 'Because I know her and I felt comfortable', so I was like 'People are going to love this at home because it's good TV, you guys are friends and picking each other's men...' and she was like, 'Yeah. I know'."

After Olivia heard about the conversation, she then spoke to Zara about it and that's when it all kicked off.

"When Olivia took [the conversation] to Zara it was like, 'Tanya said you came for me for good TV.'"

Shaq then said, "When Zara came storming over and said, 'Tanya we need to have a f--king chat', I was thinking 'What is happening?'"

Tanya then added, "I got up and went after her straight away and was like 'What the f--k? Let's talk. Don't talk while you're walking away.'

"Then we got separated. I got taken outside and then VOG [Voice of God aka the producers on the tannoys] told her to go to the beach hut."

Err, why didn't the producers include this in the edit? It would have made the mystery around Zara and Liv's feud a little clearer.
