Zara McDermott’s family are "shocked and disappointed" after naked photographs and videos of her were leaked online shortly after she entered the ‘Love Island’ villa.
The 21-year-old government aide has fallen victim to revenge porn after raunchy and revealing shots of her parading her assets emerged on Whatsapp shortly after she appeared on the dating show and have now spread further afield on the web.
A source close to the family told The Sun Online that her relatives are "shocked and disappointed that anyone would breach her trust in this way."
To make matters worse, Zara – who joined the villa at the end of last week – has no idea that such images of her have appeared online for the whole world to see.
The brunette beauty works in the Department of Education under Damian Hinds and briefs ministers and guides the rules and principles of government.
She said when she joined the programme: "I think my job is quite different. A lot of people are interested in what I do on a day-to-day basis. There are two sides to me – I can be quite serious but I’m also spontaneous, fun and energetic."
However, Zara’s decision to enter the villa – and now the promiscuous images of her appearing online – may have landed her in hot water as she didn’t tell her boss that she was taking part in the dating show and merely asked for a "career break."
A government source explained: "She said she was taking a career break to work on TV but did not give specific details.
"She needs to be very careful because the rules are quite vague about what would be deemed bad behaviour so she could end up getting sacked."
But Zara hasn’t just caused a stir in the outside world as she’s also wreaked havoc in the villa after flirting with Adam Collard and causing him to dump Rosie Williams.
Speaking in last night’s (19.06.18) episode, Rosie said: "He’s said to me things about having a future together. You can’t do that and have your head turned two seconds later because a new face has walked in.
"He told me that he did see me as a girlfriend, which is why he hasn’t rushed. I’m not being funny, I don’t do things with people unless they mean something. I did it because I thought this was something real, I thought we had something."
