Comeback speculation and fans petition Zara, Instagram \/ ITVZara Deniz Lackenby-Brown is being linked to a shock Love Island return already, despite being dumped from the show in a recoupling. The bombshell left with an iconic strut on January 31, after being left the only single girl standing during a recoupling around the fire pit. Since then, many fans of the ITV show have taken to social media, campaigning for showrunners to leave the door open for her return later in the series. In fact, many think it\u2019s now nailed on. The model and property developer entered the Love Island villa as a bombshell after the main cast, coupling up quickly with Tom Clare after a battle with Olivia. Since then, she had parted ways with the footballer and broke the news of his snog with Ellie Spence \u2013 one of the most dramatic segments of the season so far. He chose Ellie over her in a recoupling a day later, sending Zara home. Zara fans convinced she\u2019s coming back to Love Island Though, many of her fans claim the stars could still align for a possible return. One Twitter user, Sana, said: \u201cFriends of Zara are speculating that she could be going back into the villa as she hasn\u2019t turned on her phone yet. Traditionally, Islanders turn on their phone the morning after the dumping. Zara not turning her phone on for nearly 2 days is interesting.\u201d No concrete evidence has been reported about her not using a phone or that she is staying in South Africa, where the show is set. In the replies, a lot of viewers noted they would support the comeback. Some said they have stopped watching since Zara was dumped, and others said she would be perfect for Casa Amor later down the line. \u201cPlease we need Zara back,\u201d one said. \u201cMaybe their social media people see the social media reaction and producers had a think about it,\u201d posted another. Love Island fans want Zara to come back already Not only are viewers interested to see if a return will materialize, tweeting about a petition to bring her back, some say the show is now boring without her on screen. Goss.ie did post an exclusive story on February 2, featuring Zara breaking her silence on the dumping. She said: \u201cI genuinely think me and Tom calling it a day was the best thing that we could have done because we weren\u2019t ever actually on the same page. Like a flame, we burned quickly, and it was just more physical attraction.\u201d Fans of the former islander say the exit interview doesn\u2019t mean the door is closed for a Zara return to Love Island, so we will just have to wait and see. At the time of writing, her future reintroduction is not confirmed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zara returning to Love Island?
