Love Island hopeful Kendall Rae-Knight has called out the 2016 Love Island girls after they slut shamed Zara Holland.

Kendall, 26, says she watched Zara’s season of the hit ITV2 show and that she thought Zara ‘was brill but she had a tough time’.

‘I felt like I really knew her and when she got upset, I got upset. I felt the slut shaming was a little bit harsh because you could tell Zara just wanted to be happy with someone and when she got attention she was happy with it, so she had a good time and the girls should have stuck by her more.’

Zara had a rather rough time in the villa, and was repeatedly pied by the guys she fancied.




In walked Alex Bowen who was fancied by both Zara and Olivia Buckland, and when the public voted for Zara to take one of the new boys on a date she chose Alex, they went to the hideaway, and they got it on.

The next morning however, Zara was vilified by Olivia, Kady McDermott and Malin Andersson.

After Zara confided in Kady, she called her an idiot and immediately ran off to tell the girls what had happened and they proceeded to call her an idiot, slaggy and claim that she would not respect herself.

Not cool, ladies.

She also slammed the organisers of Miss Great Britain for taking away Zara Holland’s crown after she slept with Alex.

‘In this day and age, they say they want to move away from that stereotype of beauty pageant and how you can walk in a swimsuit,’ she says, ‘but they drag themselves into it.’

‘People have sex.’

Preach!

Love Island returns 4 June on ITV2.
