Online memes erupt as Zara McDermott story goes viral; fans suspect Louis Tomlinson to be on a date with TV personality

Bring your teacups because Zara McDermott is serving piping hot English tea. The famous Love Island alumna turned TV personality recently posted a tempting breakfast picture, but it wasn't her plate that caught everyone's attention. It was the arm beside the plate that raised a number of questions and eyebrows.

At first glance, it looks like an innocent snap showing two people enjoying their breakfast, but when the fans zoomed in on the picture, the tattooed arm beside the plate bore a striking resemblance to One Direction heartthrob Louis Tomlinson's arm. This was enough to start the engines of the rumor mill.

The rumors were in fourth gear when fans noticed that Louis's sisters, Daisy, Phoebe, and Lottie Tomlinson, followed Zara McDermott on Instagram and vice versa. Coincidence? Fans think not.

The duo was also spotted enjoying each other's company at dinner at a Suffolk hotel. If there is one thing the tabloids have in common with everyone, it's their shared love for rooting for new celebrity couples. It's the only thing that keeps the public busy besides keeping tabs on their neighbors. Nothing matters anymore when you've got a juicy "will they-won't they" love angle. Of course.

Whether it is a publicity stunt or real love, one thing is for sure: the internet is eating it up like cheesecake!
