LOVE Island fans were left stunned tonight when Zach made a shocking confession about Molly and Kady – days after meeting the returning bombshell.
It came the morning after Zach, 25, tried to kiss Kady, 27, but was brutally pied off in last night’s episode.
Love Island star Zach left viewers stunned when he revealed his feelings for Kady are stronger than they are for Molly
Molly was dumped from the villa on Friday
Kady returned to Love Island and rocked the villa
But the snub only served to make the lad even more besotted with Kady.
While chatting with the boys, he said: “I haven’t felt like that in a long time.”
Viewers couldn’t believe what they wear hearing after he appeared so smitten with Molly, 22, before she was dumped from the villa.
One fan ranted Twitter: “See how men LIEEE? Zachaliar hasn’t felt this way in a long time? Molly only left 72 hours ago.”
A second tweeted: “Zach saying i haven’t felt like that in a long time AFTER kady pied him and AFTER molly was with him for weeks!!”
Another viewer typed: “The way Zach just said I haven’t felt like this about anyone in a long time about Kady!! When she pied him and also called him her ex’s name. Not to mention it’s been like a day since Molly left.”
Viewers saw Zach’s feelings for Kady grow last night.
He was seen confiding in Mitchel about his burgeoning feelings for Kady, despite Molly having only left the villa days ago.
Chatting in the pool, Zach vowed: “I definitely need to secure a cheeky kiss.”
Mitchel then suggested he take up to the terrace “when the moment arises”.
Later in the evening, that’s exactly what Zach did as he seized his moment.
He told Kady: “I’m definitely glad you picked me as well…I’d almost say I’ve got some nerves which is nice…it’s a weird feeling for me to be honest. I’ve not had nerves in a very, very, very long time.”
But when Zach leaned in for a kiss, Kady pulled away and told him she wanted to wait before taking that next step.
She said: “Let’s wait. I don’t know what it is but I feel like I have only been here three days, and for me to want to kiss someone, it’s not a big deal, but I have to know it’s 100 percent.”
She reassured him, however, that he was still the guy she had the strongest feelings for.
“I definitely like Zach and he is such a nice person, but there and then, it just didn’t feel right,” Kady said in the beach hut, adding that she felt “so bad”.
In his own beach hut chat, Zach admitted he was “humbled and embarrassed.”
Despite that, he seemed keener than ever, saying the rejection “turned him on” because he “hadn’t been rejected in so long”.
Viewers couldn’t contain their cringing over the toe-curling scene.
“Zach and his sh**e patter got absolutely pied,” one laughed.
“I think I died of second hand embarrassment rip me,” a second added.
“I would vomit out my intestines if I was Zach, there’s no way,” chipped in a third.
And a fourth weighed in: “That goes down as one of the most awkward tv situations of all time.”
Love Island continues at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
