Zara: I won’t be bullied into having a boob job
Love Island star lashes out at trolls
Luckily for me I am strong enough not to cave in and have surgery ZARA MCDERMOTT LOVE ISLAND CONTESTANT
LOVE Island’s Zara McDermott has been bombarded by “thousands of disgusting comments” urging her to have a boob job.
But the 21-year-old, dating fellow Islander Adam Collard, 22, refuses to bow to pressure to have surgery.
She admitted hurtful remarks from trolls “wear people down to the point of no return”.
Zara took to Instagram to blast the “bullying” after sharing a snap of herself in a tight bikini on a family holiday with Adam in Bulgaria. One troll posted: “Looks like she smooshed her t*ts together for the pic.
“Why not just get a boob job to go with all the other plastic?”
Zara replied: “A disgusting thing to say. Why wish surgery on someone?
“I haven’t got any other ‘plastic’ in my body by the way.”
She added: “If there is something I will never be able to accept about this industry, it’s the hate people give out. People wonder why things such as anxiety and depression exist. This is the reason.
“Luckily, I’m strong enough not to cave in and get the surgery.”
Zara claims not to have had any cosmetic ops but the majority of contestants on the ITV2 show admit to enhancements.
Finalists Laura Anderson, Kaz Crossley and Megan Barton-Hanson said they had had boob jobs – with only the winner, Dani Dyer, being natural.
Megan, 24, who came fourth with Wes Nelson, claimed boob jobs were “just like getting your hair done”. Simon Stevens, NHS England boss, blasted the screening of adverts for diets and cosmetic surgery during the show.
ITV chief Carolyn McCall admitted they were wrong to air the commercials and will review the decision.
With a four million average audience, Love Island was the most-watched show by 16 to 34-year-olds this year – apart from the World Cup.
