Zara, 25, who is now dating Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson, 29, first met Adam in the villa and they stayed together for eight months before splitting in 2019.

The beauty was shocked to see her ex heading back into the villa, as she watched along with boyfriend Sam on Sunday evening.

Sam posted a hilarious video of Zara's reaction to spotting Adam, writing: “Can’t tell whether I’m excited or terrified.”

Zara watched along and looked shocked as she saw Adam’s face appear on the programme, as narrator Iain Stirling teased: “Look who’s back.”

Sam hilariously swooned over Adam’s abs before realising it was his girlfriend’s ex, saying: “Who’s this guy? Who’s this absolute animal?”

Sam then realises who it is, and says: "It's your ex-boyfriend, no way!”

Zara holds her head in her hands and screams as she realises who’s on screen.

Love Island superfan Sam then says: "Oh my God, this is the best series ever!"

Sam’s fans and friends couldn’t help but laugh about Zara’s reaction, with former islanders Amber Gill and Liam Reardon commenting a series of laughing face emojis.

Another person said: “I immediately went to your stories to see your’s and Zara’s reaction!!”

A third wrote in the comments: “As soon as the episode finished I came straight to your story cos I know you’d have been recording that moment.”

At the time of their public split in 2019, Zara said: “I am heartbroken to announce that Adam and I have parted ways.

“I love him very much and will always have a special place in my heart for him & our time together. I have tried so hard to be the best person I can possibly be and to make it work. Sometimes in life, you just aren’t enough for someone; no matter what you do for them or how much you try to be.

“For everyone asking if I’m ok, I don’t know that I am. But I know that soon I will be. I will be strong and prove to myself that I can get through this.”
