The programme involves a group of single girls and boys who are enjoying a summer holiday abroad, until their exes turn up and cause problems.

“I’m at a place where I am content with everything in life, with my career and house, and I thought I’m single so why not?

“I was completely oblivious that it was Ex On The Beach, but I was excited because I wasn’t sure what was going to happen.”

Zara Lena left the show in series 6 episode 7 as she discovered how intense the programme became.

She continued:”However it was a surreal experience, especially because it was aired 4 months after we had filmed and so I had had lived the experience and yet couldn’t tell anybody.

“It is strange getting all the reaction now.

“I found that the show became very intense very quickly, and I don’t like failing challenges so the fact that I left speaks for itself.

“I can’t rule out that I might appear again if the opportunity arises as I feel like I have a lot more to offer!”
