Love Island: Over 8,000 Fans Sign A Petition To Reinstate Zara Holland’s Miss GB Title

Last week, the bosses behind the Miss GB contest made the decision to strip Zara Holland of her Miss Great Britain title after she had sex with Alex Bowen in the Love Island villa.

Explaining their decision on Twitter, bosses wrote: “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.”

Many people have since shown their huge support for the now former Miss GB, who has left the Love Island villa after learning of an illness in her family, with Caroline Flack and Anthea Turner amongst those standing by Zara.

The support doesn’t end there though, as more than 8,000 people have now signed a petition calling for organisers to reinstate Zara’s Miss GB title.

The petition states: “As you are aware Zara Holland is Miss Great Britain and is on a reality TV show called Love Island, she is there to find love and it is not working out as much as she hoped.

“Recently Zara had a fumble which was aired on the show and now unfortunately this has cost her the title of Miss Great Britain. I think it is a harsh punishment stripping her of her title for a silly little mistake and for only being human.

“I am aware that having a title like that comes with responsibilities and I for one think she has been absolutely amazing, she has shown she is a strong positive person, we have to remember she is still a young lady and what happened was only natural. I think she should be given a second chance as Miss Great Britain!”
