They face an anxious wait as authorities decide what action to take against them.

Trending In The News told yesterday that ­Elliott tested positive for the virus at the start of a new year holiday.

They allegedly cut off their red Covid armbands and caught a cab to the airport to avoid being put in the Harrison’s Point centre.

Police detained the couple — who have visited the island several times before — as they went through airport security.

Officers held them on suspicion of flouting Covid rules. They could face criminal ­charges including endangering the lives of others, an £18,000 fine each and a year in jail.

Zara, who was on Love Island in 2016, denies any wrongdoing and Elliott, whose symptoms are said to be mild, told a pal: “We put a small foot wrong and now everybody is yelling at us.”

It comes after Swiss Ismail Elbagli, 30, was fined £2,150 for breaching quarantine by leaving his Barbados hotel.
