In Zara's new BBC3 documentary she discusses how being the victim of revenge porn has affected her life, saying that she thinks about it every time she meets someone new.
In it she reveals that her now-boyfriend Sam Thompson had been sent a nude picture of her by one of his friends on WhatsApp, while crying.
This has resulted in her trending on social media and in the news.
The nude started to spread as she was in the Love Island villa, after saying a "trusted" ex-partner had shared the images she sent in confidence.
