Newly-single Love Island star Zara hits the town with villa pals after split from Jordan
LOVE Island’s Zara Lackenby-Brown partied the night away after announcing her split from Jordan Odofin.
The villa bombshell didn’t look too upset by the end of their very brief romance as she partied with show bestie Tanyel Revan at the Superdrug Star Awards 2023 in London.
Zara looked great in an indigo cocktail dress and silver heels while Tanyel wowed in a daring lilac dress with a cut out torso.
The duo danced, laughed and filmed the skyline from high up inside the iconic Gherkin building.
Zara previously revealed that she and Jordan had been on a number of dates when they appeared on the reunion show on Sunday.
Although they seemed loved-up on screen, the pair raised eyebrows after they took swipes at each other over social media.
Yesterday Zara confirmed that the pair have gone their separate ways.
Taking to her Instagram story, she said: “Hey everyone, Jordan and I would like to acknowledge the increasing public support for us to be seen as an exclusive couple.
“After a few dates since leaving the villa, we know that we definitely get along and enjoy each other’s company.
“It’s been two and a half weeks of getting to know each other, and for now it’s a fun friendship between us.
“We have a lot of respect for each other and that’s what matters.”
Zara, 25, entered the villa on day three as a bombshell and had eyes for Tom Clare.
However, she was dumped from the villa when the northern hunk decided to couple up with Ellie Spencer instead.
Zara later confessed that she wished Jordan was in the villa when she was in there so they could have got to know each other.
During the reunion podcast host Indiyah Polack asked what was going on between the pair.
Zara said: “We’re dating! I think we’ve made that quite clear. But it’s early days!
“I think a lot of people are getting ahead of themselves but it’s going good…”
Despite their loved-up segment on the show, fans began to speculate after failing to acknowledge each other on social media.
Jordan posted a snap of Casey O’Gorman, Will Young and Aaron Waters together – and in the picture Love Island Australia star Aaron threw his middle fingers in the air – and some thought it was aimed at Zara.
Things went from bad to worse as the dancer took to her Twitter with a series of cryptic messages, including red flag emojis.
“Posting up with the opp[osition],” she penned, alongside the emojis, in what appeared to be a savage dig at Jordan.
Fans were certain the social media row meant that Zara and Jordan were over for good, as they flooded Reddit.
“I don’t think they are together,” one penned, while a second chimed in: “She’s messed things up with Jordan, he seems like a great guy.”
“They seemed happy the night before?” a third added, as a fourth said: “They were dating in the first place to stay relevant.”
