The news comes after a rep for the show informs us they made the decision to inform her off camera so she didn’t face the humiliation of any new arrivals on the show telling her.

A spokesman for Love Island added: “Zara was informed of the news off camera this morning. She is now back in the villa and has chosen to remain in the show."

An official statement from the pageant organisers read: “The feedback we have received from pageant insiders and members of the general public is such that we cannot promote Zara as a positive role model moving forward.

“We wholly understand that everyone makes mistakes, but Zara, as an ambassador for Miss Great Britain, simply did not uphold the responsibility expected of the title.”

Zara was seen jumping under the covers with Alex in their Majorca villa’s “Hideaway” room during Wednesday night’s episode.

Before arriving this week, Alex, 24, boasted: “I’ll definitely have sex in front of the cameras. I told my family to switch over when that happens.”

But Zara regretted her actions, confessing on the show last night (Thurs): “You know when you’re in the moment and it just happens. That’s really not like me at all. Why couldn’t we have just gone to sleep?”
