Love Island star faces the boot as bombshell Zachariah makes huge decision in first recoupling
A Love Island favourite could be booted from the villa after bombshell Zachariah came in and made a shock decision.
In tonight’s episode, Zachariah had to pick one of the girls to couple up with, stealing one of them from the boys as a result.
After pulling them for chats throughout the day, fitness hunk Zachariah came to his final decision.
As the Islanders gathered around the fire pit, the 25-year-old opted to couple up with Catherine Agbaje, stealing her from Andre Furtado.
Andre is now left facing the boot as he’s vulnerable after becoming single.
Zachariah Noble is a former basketball player who counts Radio 1 DJ and I’m A Celebrity alumni Snoochie Shy as his sibling.
The personal trainer was piloted into the villa on the first night as part of the ITV2 dating show’s sizzling launch night twist, where producers reacted on the hoof to cherry pick a bombshell that was best suited to target a less loved-up couple up.
In previous years, the first bomb was predetermined – such as Davide Sanclimenti last summer or Chloe Burrows in 2021.
But bosses instead held back selecting a boy or girl to make sure they were causing maximum drama.
A source said: “With viewers choosing which girl they wanted to pair with which boy, there was potential that someone wouldn’t be too happy with their lot.
“So this year bosses didn’t nail down who the first bombshell would be until they’d seen how the first coupling up played out.
“Zachariah was deemed to be the perfect new arrival to cause mayhem.
“As well as being a great lad, he is stunning to look at – he is absolutely ripped.”
Zachariah, who lives in south east London, has an Instagram page filled with pictures of his bulging biceps and huge pecs.
He has the slogan Train For The War, Not The Beach on his bio.
The source added: “Zachariah is the whole package. Plus with a famous sister he knows how to handle the limelight.”
Love Island continues tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV2.
