Zara McDermott reveals she’s ‘best friends’ with new Love Island bombshell as he plans to split up strong couple
LOVE Island legend Zara McDermott has revealed her close link to the villa’s newest star.
Like several of this year’s cast, Josh Brocklebank knows somebody who’s been on the show before.
Zara wasted no time telling the world they were close, calling the 26-year-old her “best friend”.
She wrote: “I am so excited that my best friend is going into the Love Island villa!!!
“CAN’T WAIT TO WATCH YOU JOSHY!!!! Love you!!” before tagging him into the post.
Josh has been very clear about who his targets in the villa are – naming another ex-Islander, Kady McDermott, and Jess Harding.
He explained before joining the show: “I’m most attracted to Jess and Kady. Personality wise, I think I’d be a great match for Jess.
“She’s so bubbly and has similar energy to me. Kady is also beautiful, she’s a similar age to me and seems to know what she wants which I think is really attractive.”
Josh, who is a financial advisor and – like Zara – is from Essex, added: “My biggest selling point is my personality.
“I’ve got a lot of energy so I will be bouncing and dancing my way around the villa! I’ve also got a sharp trim and a great smile, my smile can definitely get me into trouble with the girls.”
Other current cast members who know former Love Island stars include Tyrique Hyde.
His best friend is 2021 star Toby Aromolaran, who reached the final of the ITV2 show with Chloe Burrows.
