Zara McDermott shares clever trick to work out which Love Islanders will be dumped

Zara McDermott has come up with a theory to help Love Island fans work out which Islanders will be dumped during a re-coupling

Former Love Islander Zara McDermott believes she has a clever trick to work out which contestants will be dumped from the show.

The 25-year-old influencer appeared in series four of the dating series back in 2018.

She is now dating Made In Chelsea's Sam Thompson after failing to find her man on the show.

And on Wednesday night, Zara was quizzed by her curious boyfriend on what happens in the lead-up to a dumping.

"Do you get told how to stand around the firepit?" Sam asked in a reel shared on his Instagram page.

Zara replied: "You get told what order to stand in, yeah."

Intrigued by her answer, Sam then continued: "Does that mean you know who's gonna go?"

Zara answered: "Looking back now - I'm like, 'Oh, I get why I got put there'."

Sam, who was eager to know more, said: "Do you know whose going, right now? What's the positioning?"

Zara told him: "I don't feel like you'd stand a vulnerable islander next to one who is not vulnerable. Does that make sense?"

He then posed the question: "When you got booted, who were you next to?"

His girlfriend answered: "Jack [Fincham] and Dani [Dyer]."

Sam continued: "Oh, because you knew they weren't going?"

Zara said: "Yeah, I was like, 'S**t! S**t!'"

Sam then related it back to this series and joked that anyone standing next to Gemma Owen will be going, as she is one of the favourites.

He said: "Anyone next to Gemma [Owen], basically, they're going. What an insight!"

Zara then warned her boyfriend: "It's just a theory!"

"Don't backtrack now!" he laughed.

Tonight, Love Island 's Ekin-Su could be at risk if Jay continues to pursue his attraction to Paige - and possibly the new bombshell.

During Wednesday's episode, Jay is chatting to Andrew and Dami in the garden and says: "I think I will [speak to Paige] but maybe not today."

Andrew then replies: "You said that last night - you can't waste time here!" as Dami adds: "Time is of the essence!"

But Jay tells them: "The timing's not ideal with her and Jacques spending the night in the Hideaway together."

Referring to bombshell Antigoni, Jay continues: "The new girl has come in today. I want to get to know her, too. I might feel like there's a connection there, too. I need to chat to her as well."

Speaking in the Beach Hut later on, Jay reveals: "I feel like Ekin-Su and I moved so fast. I don’t want to leave here with a ‘what if’ in my head. I want to leave here knowing that I explored all options."

*Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
