Love Island Australia Fans Express Outrage Over Sophie and Zane’s Controversial Connection Before the Show
Following a poignant conclusion of Love Island UK in July, fans turned their attention to Love Island Australia, which finally made its debut on October 28 on 9Now. This latest season brought a fresh group of contestants to a stunning Spanish villa, all searching for lasting love and the chance to win the AUD 50,000 prize.
In the fourth episode of Love Island Australia, which aired on October 31, a new islander by the name of Sophie Mills joined the cast. Sophie was the second contestant to arrive, following Taylor’s initial entrance in the premiere episode.
What makes Sophie’s entrance intriguing is her prior connection with contestant Zane; the two had been intimate two months prior to the start of filming. Zane was initially linked with Xanthe, raising speculation among viewers on how Sophie’s arrival might change the dynamics in the villa. Many took to social media to express their thoughts.
“Sophie definitely has the potential to stir things up. Zane and Sophie had been liking each other’s posts from May to June, before filming began in August. If they end up coupled again, it’s going to seem rigged,”commented one viewer.
“You’re telling me Zane last saw Sophie two months ago and this isn’t rigged? That’s hard to believe,”another fan remarked.
“So Sophie is one of the 55. It was literally two months ago and Zane has no clue who she is,”a different viewer chimed in.
“When Sophie walked in, Zane’s reaction was like ‘Oh, it’s her.’ Meanwhile, Em was clueless. That’s just rude,”another user echoed.
Several fans voiced their concerns regarding Sophie’s past with Zane as a potential threat to his current relationship with Xanthe.
“I just hope Zane doesn’t break Xanthe’s heart. He seems like he’s waiting for Sophie to show up, fingers crossed I’m wrong,”one user expressed.
“Welcome the new bombshell Sophie! She and Zane have history. Xanthe isn’t prepared for this twist,”another commented.
“Sophie is aware of Zane’s [red flag] behavior. Just wait till you hear her thoughts on him! Yet she still seems interested. #grilsmustdobetter #loveislandaus #LoveIslandAu Xanthe knows what’s up,”a commentator noted.
“Sophie shared kisses with all the guys! She asked Zane, ‘Did you miss this?’ And took Niko on a date! The other girls are definitely on edge,”highlighted another viewer.
